It was early 2004 when Real Madrid, Bayern Munich after removal, had passed from the second round last time. One wonders if during the course of that tie, or after it, the white team would break a mirror, as he waited seven years of bad luck in this round. Today, after that time, Madrid has won again in the fourth round after defeating Olympique Lyon after a 3-0 first-leg 1-1 . It was a day to bury old ghosts appeared during this period: the pass to the aforementioned round and the victory, finally, against an opponent who had not beaten in seven previous encounters.
Cristiano Ronaldo played, certainly until the last minute with what Adebayor started from the bench. With the Luso in the Madrid field again used his face to, even hearing, ordered equipment back and looking strong counterattack on the basis of dramatic effects. In this context, he stressed a player on the rest: a Marcelo was a headache for the French rear. The Brazilian has again demonstrated that, offensively, is the best side that can be seen today. On the contrary, Cristiano Ronaldo was accused gray and the recent downtime.
In front of them expected a similar Lyon in the first leg: orderly and rocky but lackluster on offense. Lisandro was not just balls and Gourcuff again be inconsequential. It was Madrid who came with a vengeance with the Brazilian side as standard. Thus, Lloris, one of the best goalkeepers in the European scene as a check again today, stood in a Leading Role for his team. After those few minutes of thrust forces leveled and Lyon began to gain distance and see close to Casillas.
With the French team well planted and ordered ideas, Madrid was struck against a wall where individuals could not find their way and the football group had no specific weight, despite the efforts of Xabi Alonso. But when Lyon became more actively seek the opponents' reach the first goal for Real Madrid. In 37, a wall of Marcelo Cristiano Ronaldo gave way to Brazil to set up a big play that would end Lovren personnel on the ground after being haggled with the ball in the French network.
In the second half saw Madrid is not much better, but higher than the rival team and learned to control the game and take it wherever you most suited as well as a team shot, something that gap matches. Claude Puel into the field to Gomis, substitute striker today in the first leg, but the team hardly noticed their presence, a Lyon I miss the suspended Bastos. More who escaped sanction was Pepe, is shown from the eighth minute and made its way to being sent off in the second half.
Cristiano Ronaldo disabled, Marcelo and Benzema Özil found two perfect partners to make their operations for the left. So come the second goal on 67 after Marcelo center, firing caused by Özil Lovren and definition of Benzema, who thus continued his romance with a goal in addition to its romance with a good game. Di Maria closed the account ten minutes After having defined with a header master German. Then came the final whistle and with it a nice gesture to Eric Abidal , a half minute standing ovation before the game and honored at the end of the twenty-two players, eleven rivals usual today and eleven others were fellow club where he played three seasons before land at the Camp Nou.
It was a brilliant match of Real Madrid, but who knew how to control a match for the most part and in which trade and competitiveness pulled two aspects to be mastered in pursuit of achieving success. You have exceeded the knockout barrier, a barrier that was not only sports but also psychological, six were too many, but the conclusion may be extended only until Friday. Then there will be a new rival.
