The occasions of

67 minutes of scoreless game and on the scoreboard, the respectable little imagined what would happen during the next 25 minutes: Real Madrid was making a good game but he was unable to beat a Joe Hart who has long claimed the British drought in goal. Few merits did the City to score, but the unpredictability of football made ​​an appointment for the Bernabéu and led to the Citizens be advanced up to two times on the scoreboard again giving the opportunity to those who still speak of merit, justice and others. But it was not a night to conclude the debate there and trample more fuel to the fire that has lit the white team in the league: Madrid and returned the big European nights, the comebacks of the heart in front of the head, the manor, so defined Mourinho after the match, to take all three points after winning 3-2 in a clash vibrant encounter with a half hour finale, full of emotion, comings, goings and goals. Football.

And why not invite alignments for optimism: a lot of muscle and little lyrical. Mancini decided to close the midfield with Barry and Javi Garcia, and top it off Nasri was injured after the half hour and it was supplied by Kolarov, a left back who sometimes acts as midfielder. So victory relied arrivals Touré, Silva's inspiration and courage to Tévez. Aguero on the bench. Meanwhile, Mourinho took a trivote formed by Essien, Khedira and Xabi Alonso, Benzema instead of Higuain and Özil and Modric in the bank accompanied by Sergio Ramos, the big surprise of the lineup, replaced by Varane. Marked for? Defeat in Seville? The point is that the bet did not turn out too badly and was the Portuguese coach who ordered his team control the game and sometimes without lucidity but hierarchy, but missed the goal. A task in which a misguided Higuain still has a score to settle with the Champions League.

And as Cristiano Ronaldo, star of a good game, and Higuain were not going fine with the aim had to be left back who ProBase luck, but is that Marcelo is more than a defense. A point was the surprise Brazilian Hart from outside the area in the second half. Among Marcelo and Di Maria, courage and push all Argentine cast gunpowder near the area of ​​the City, waiting for someone to finally light up the wick of the goal. That looked Mancini for his own on 62 minutes with the entry of Dzeko, although being replaced Silva appeared the doubts about its intentions. Silva took the ovation of the respectable, who knows if recognition or message as a hobby you always wanted to see white. Ovation the final analysis. The fact is that Mancini did the Italian blood, and the matter went right, and five minutes after Dzeko beat counterattack culminated in a head to head to a beat Casillas is one way too early instead of holding something more.

Earlier, between Dzeko break into the field and his goal by Essien Özil had entered, with whom Mourinho sought more virtuosity. After both the Bosnian burned the ships and introduced by Modric and Khedira Benzema and Higuain. Mancini was frightened with a goal and Mourinho virtuoso battalion and brought Zabaleta by Maicon. With so much change, the fourth referee broke the scoreboard. It was necessary to react and was who had searched diligently who found the goal: after a fantastic play Marcelo scored the equalizer with a shot from the edge of the area. Top right. But the party was capricious and ten minutes later was Kolarov who returned to overtake the City with both perfectly avoidable.

It was five minutes and it seemed that he would be elusive victory the home side, but Madrid had charged the battery for the big occasion, and took just three minutes to return to flip the scoring with two goals from Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. The latter is celebrated as the occasion deserved, forgetting sad afternoon at least for a time after beating Hart with a shot that surprised irregular goalkeeper after Kompany duck head. Moments before, he had beaten Benzema with a subtle satin shot that went to the bottom. The stadium went wild: the comeback was a fact.

Now speaking of gamers, Mourinho alignment and others but become unpredictable matches in the dying seconds and both Madrid scored three goals as he might have fallen over the City have been more successful. Playing with a midfield consisting of Xabi, Ozil and Modric in the last moments was a nice emergency measure that will probably never see in a starting lineup, and are part of football these crazed late to check in with what other have. Enter the Croatian Sometimes, sometimes German, sometimes two if Di Maria goes, but we know what he likes to plan battles Mourinho in midfield. Anyway, Real Madrid and Manchester City have given us a great night of football and a magnificent red carpet for the Champions League: continue.
