Madrid (AFP) – An equalizing goal Alvaro Morata, formed at Real Madrid, the club has struck European champion in 2014 Wednesday (1-1) in the semi-final of the Champions League and propelled Juventus , winning 2-1 in the first leg to a final surprise against FC Barcelona.
This is probably a heartbreaker for Morata, formed at Real, but it is an immense joy for Juve, back in the final of C1 for the first time in 12 years with this resounding achievement at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Part the champion 10 times sacred C1, speaks volumes about mental qualities of this ultra-strong and stubborn Juve. Especially as the Real has long dominated the debate, carried by a penalty from Cristiano Ronaldo (23rd), who joined the way Lionel Messi as top scorer in the history of the C1 (77 goals).
But the rear guard of the Italian champions excelled and Morata, served as the head by Paul Pogba (57), scored a half-volley that crucified his former partners, who dreamed as much as him . see Berlin June 6
For Madrid, already excluded from the title race La Liga Saturday to benefit the Barça is the cold shower: for 35 minutes, they probably seen them face Barcelona in what would have been the first final-clasico history
-. Benzema was not enough –
This is all the more annoying for Real he really dominated, making mention his tremendous offensive potential in the wake of a trio “BBC” (Bale-Benzema-Cristiano) reformed with the return from injury of French.
The “White House” had perfectly initiated the meeting, in an unusually warm evening for the season and in a Santiago-Bernabeu stadium, which is never as hot in the Champions League.
Karim Benzema has been a constant poison by his movements and attempts, almost all dangerous: shot from the left too removed (6th), against magnificent poorly negotiated by Ronaldo (29th) header from a corner blocked by goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon (30th), which has also had to use on a tight angle shooter “Benz” (40th).
To open the scoring, we had a breakthrough in the area of James Rodriguez, hung by defender Giorgio Chiellini. Penalty logic, transformed by Ronaldo (23rd), too happy to match Messi in the scoring charts C1 from 2014 to 2015 with the 10th goal.
But apart from that penalty, Cristiano Ronaldo has not really weighed in this game, including a free-kick deflected off the wall and sent a volley from the left in the side netting
-. No miracle for Real –
And Bale, perhaps the one of the three front that had the greatest opportunities, not gilded his image at the Bernabeu with a powerful shot caught by Buffon (20th), a recovery next (63rd) and two burning occasions (71st, 72nd), he has not transformed.
After the goal Morata and throughout the end of the match, Real held on to its star, the memory of the final Lisbon (4-1 against Atletico AD) there was one year where a last minute goal from Sergio Ramos had saved merengue camp.
But this time, the miracle did not come although Iker Casillas twice prevented Juve to take off by coming from behind to Claudio Marchisio (70th) and Paul Pogba (88th), a little dilettante Wednesday night but decisive on equalization.
In short, Pogba and his family will be in Berlin in early June and the surprise is immense. The blow is hard however to Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, whose spring has been awarded any major title, a year after the triumph of Lisbon.
As of Thursday, a crisis wind risk blowing over Real, expelled from his favorite competition by a Juve that has faith in his destiny.
