Don’t try to understand it. It cannot be done. Real Madrid are European champions again, despite being outplayed in many aspects of football in all the qualifiers.
In the first half, Borussia Dortmund was superior to real Madridapplying the same medicine as Atlético de Madrid in the second leg of the quarterfinals. High pressure, constant unchecking and intensity. Despite this, the whites miraculously emerged unscathed and when their moment came with fifteen minutes remaining, they did not disappoint. The Germans had some clear chances, but in between Courtois and bad decisions in the last meter ended up surrendering to the king of Europe (0-2).
In the second half the story gradually changed, until the goal of Carvajal (74′) This ended the resistance of the Germans, who achieved a great final and a great Champions League, but like in 2013, they are again on the verge of victory.
The final is at Adeyemi’s feet
Everything could be different if Adeyemi, 22 years old, was right in front of the rival goal. The German winger is brilliant in everything, except for the most important thing, the meaning. With his breakaways and his speed he hurt Dani Carvajal, as fate would have it, he became a hero.
He had a one-on-one with Courtois (21′), where he had so much time to think about what he wanted to do that he got close to the Belgian, who he managed to beat. a dribble, but left himself with no angle and saw his shot blocked by Carvajal. Then he was a centimeter away from pushing a back pass from the penalty spot, where the right back miraculously returned.
And Adeyemi got it again in the 27th minute when a run by the young attacker ended with a left foot shot that Courtois was able to clear with a great downward dive. In rejection, Füllkrug He couldn’t connect a good header, fortunately for the Madridistas.
And as fate would have it, in ’72 he left the field to be replaced by Marco Reus. The Romantics thought this might be Marco’s night. Reality dictated that Carvajal, who knew how to suffer and fight against Adeyemi, while his ‘rival’ was already on the bench, put Real Madrid ahead with a header (74′). Minutes later, Vinicius was sentenced. It might have been a dream night for Adeyemi, but it turned into a nightmare.
