Up to the 84th minute, this game was a thriller.
Lewandowski’s Bayern were beaten 2:4 away by Real Madrid on Tuesday after extra time, and were eliminated from the Champion’s League.
Zidane joined Ronaldo in calling on Real’s fans to stop booing him, saying: “Perhaps they won’t boo him anymore”. No time to celebrate, as Bayern will take the lead on an own goal just 90 seconds after the equalizer.
“It wasn’t even a foul by Vidal, but of course Vidal was already at risk”. How can the ref be so bad?
For the first time, I’ve got some sort of mad rage inside me, because we had a shafting.
However, Bayern’s numerical disadvantage told after Vidal saw his second yellow card and Ronaldo made the most of an assistant referee’s leniency to complete his hat trick.
Real are now the favourites to win the competition, having claimed their 11th title last season. “There are decisions that have penalized us a lot”.
“We are deserved winners. It makes you very angry”.
We kept a cool head.
To add to this, Cristiano Ronaldo was on hand to score a hat-trick to bring his Champions League goals tally to 100 – the first player to ever do so. We’re on the right track and have to keep the good work up.
As you would expect, Los Blancos’ fans were chanting his name at the final whistle, though it hasn’t always been that way.
We’re on a positive run.
“We have now got five days to recover and rest”. Everybody played their part.
Cristiano Ronaldo wrote the headlines as he twice helped his side to come back against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, and the Portuguese has now commented on his brilliant display and the record he broke along the way. “We all know that”.
“We played very well, obviously I am very happy to score all three goals, but the team has been great”.
VARs – which rule on key incidents concerning goals, red cards, mistaken identities and penalties – could be used in English football as early as August, with the EFL Cup first round touted as a possible initial testing bed for the technology. A huge compliment to both teams. When (referees) embarrass you like that, it’s really hard to take.
“I think they possibly lack a – apart from Lewandowski, when you look at Messi, Ronaldo, there’s a couple of superstars that can win the game”, the former Liverpool striker said.
