CHAMPIONS LEAGUE | REAL MADRID KNOCKED OUT BY BAYERN IN PENALTY-SHOOT OUT

Intense match that went into extra-time, down to the wire & was settled in a penalty shoot-out. REAL MADRID CF was knocked out of the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE tournament 2 - 2 ( penalty shoot out 3-5 ) by BAYERN MUNICH that moves on to play the Final in their home stadium against Chelsea FC & which they are now hot favourites

Cristiano Ronaldo

Bitter-end for Spanish Football in Champions with FC Barcelona going out yesterday & now Real Madrid, the latter in the most unwanted fashion, in a penalty shoot out that saw three players - Roanldo, Kaka & Ramos - miss what usually are certain targets. 


Perhaps the super physical effort of the Liga "clasico" last Saturday passed on its collateral effects on both Spanish Football sides, & in tonight's case, the tiredness effected the mind & the players concentration. Lastly, Bayern goalie Neuer is a top class stopper & it showed in the penalty shoot out & IKER CASSILLAS stopped two penalties that proved once again that we are talking "TOP" level in World Football.

Either way, worthy winners Bayern Munich which played a great match, very tactical & very worked looking always to create plenty of opportunities that had Real in many occasions on the back foot.

Ronaldo scores

The game started with a nervous Bayern which Real Madrid exploited to the maximum with goals via a penalty in the 6th min by CRISTIANO RONALDO & another in the 14th min again by RONALDO. 

Robben scores penalty

Bayern then showed their character & recovered to win a penalty ( a Pepe foul on Gomez ) in the 27th min that ROBBEN converted to equal the aggregate scoreline. From here onwards it was an exchange of blows between both contenders that took the Football & the psychical efforts on both sides to the limit. There were chances, misses, shouted penalties, fouls, mistakes, tiredness & nerves, every ingredient to give the spectator a grand game of Football.

Towards the end, both sides felt the pressure as a simple mistake would send you directly home & out, & thus caution ruled & thus the match ended in the penalty-shoot out "lottery" stage. 


From here, well it will be all news all day tomorrow. There can only be one winner & tonight it was Bayern Munich. Wish them luck for here!
