REAL MADRID 4 -1 JUVENTUS
Sad scenes in cardiff from the juve players but how did the best defence in the ucl concede 4 in one game
It was supposed to be the most solid defense(juve) vs the most vicious attack(real) but in the opening 10 or so minutes of the game,the two sides seemed to switch roles with juve coming close to opening the scoring
But come to think of it…..which side did this role reversal favour?
From the scoreline at full time,I think that question has been answered…Real madrid as any follower of soccer knows is a side less concerned with the number of goals they concede but rather aim to score more than they concede..Quite unlike regular clubs which crumble when they concede, real uses it as motivation which makes me wonder why Allegri chose to start the game the way he did…..After juve’s ten minute spell was over,it was clear which team would power on to victory
The biggest mistake of the game was juve playing real the way they did with barca and well..they can only have themselves and their coach to blame
The standout players for me were …of course CASEMEIRO….KROOS…MODRIC…yes no ronaldo
He scored two fantastic goals but those 3 won real the match by succesfully bullying pjanic and dybala
Better luck to juve next time tho……
Who were your standout players???
