Goal: Real Madrid’s 15th

The Santiago Bernabéu once again hosted one of those events that usually does not disappoint. Only a helpless background without the characteristic white tide cooled the night expected by everyone, because if Real Madrid has something, it is that it creates a feeling of admiration or hostility, but by no means indifference.

Their Champions League matches are especially our favorite, always full of controversy, with dynamic and colorful football, leaving aside that static football with long possessions without the intention of generating, which we are so used to in the League and for this reason every day. it loses more value .

It is no longer news that Modric and Kroos insist on showing us that they are the best midfield pair in history, as much as it hurts us, and respecting all opinions, what Xavi and Iniesta have done is wonderful, but what these two have done He runs from adjective his thirst for triumph and ambition to win more and more titles does not stop.

It is not new that Benzema comes to the appointment with a goal on the most important nights. Although not 100%, it is able to generate and infer what others generate. For example, what Vinicus JR does, also determined to show that he is unstoppable against the best defenders in the world. Vertical with the ball and constantly attacking space without it, a soccer luxury for Ancelotti and for the viewer.

João Félix is ​​not news either; determined to follow Woody Allen’s movie script: very talented player, demanding coach blames his poor play, starts other projects that don’t work out, and when he runs out of opportunities, decides to change his mind, this is when they really reach their best level and their goals. How many footballers starred in this movie?

Finally, changing the subject, if football with five substitutions has left us something good, it is the specialization of many footballers to perform in the second half. Real Madrid have two of the best in the world in this regard, Rodrygo and Asensio. They are different, but every time they come off the bench they contribute a lot, and this time it was the Spaniard who left a very successful match with his goal, especially if Real Madrid does not lose its identity at Stamford Bridge.

We enjoyed it a lot, but I still miss hearing the national anthem at 8.45 pm.
