Bayern Munich certified in the penalty shoot-out humbling that Chelsea began Tuesday. A humbling experience for the press and fans, we frotábamos hands at the prospect of living a historic match in the final of the Champions League. Never to Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, that at no time minusvaloraron rivals.
Madrid won its match against Bayern 2-1, but only enough to force overtime and immediately knocked out in the lottery of penalties. Iker Casillas, cheered by the Santiago Bernabeu, lived up to expectations stopping two penalties, but their work was not sufficient to failures of Christian-first penalty fails in Madrid, Kaka and Sergio Ramos.
The truth is that except for the extension, the Real Madrid never dominated the game. And I do not mean playing possession-that either, but at taking control of the game, play what he wanted. Within ten minutes he was with a 2-0 on the scoreboard, but it was more coincidence than a shining exit of a siege. A 2-0 with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo encarrilaba the tie, but did not alter one iota the intentions of the Bavarians.
Real party seemed completely overwhelmed in the battle for midfield. Kroos ran the game at will, and continued increases Praise Lahm on the left and the right turned every German attack in an action of superiority. There was always a Bayern player unmarked, due not only to the superiority in the center but in the Madrid defensive mismatches. Mismatches caused mainly by Marcelo, notable in the attack, though getting used too drive up and never-unfolding, impeccable in one on one with Robben, but with serious defensive lapses caused mainly by his attitude and lack of attention. An example is the opportunity to Robben started shortly after the match, beating back the Brazilian side and finishing in the small area only. Action or penalty Pepe, despite this action, exceptional central Portuguese-eliminator, which uses Bayern a hole in your belt to hang a center for pleasure. One of the reasons that broadly Mourinho prefers Coentrao: forms a defensive line along with his comrades in the rear stiffer and Marcelo collective.
The physical aspect is another point where the Madrid found completely overcome. No wonder, considering that three days before he had to play a game of the same significance. The tension of the classic Saturday takes its toll both physically and mentally, and like Barca was not seen fine against Chelsea, at Madrid he looked exhausted after 10 minutes of the second half. So I do not think Real Madrid's intention was to grant the domain of the ball to Bayern. I just think it has not been able to snatch up forces have equalized in extra time and Mourinho have come to dominate the game, to the point of even having the odd chance to score.
Should alarm bells? No. Although Madrid is already making titles, is still a young team, under construction and continuous learning. That is obviously still has weaknesses that should be corrected, but that it is able to fight for three titles each season. And even now many fingers will point to Mourinho, some may rightly regard to this tie, he is the head of the competitiveness of this team. It has lost a great opportunity to raise the Tenth, but not the last of Madrid Mourinho.
