But if there is one name to highlight, that is Cristiano Ronaldo who scored all three goals - 16th, 17th & 77th min - & with full repertoire: feet, header & free-kick. The HAT-TRICK man lead his team onward in possibly his best exhibition in a long time. With him the work of Karim Benzema was outstanding with the Frenchman unlucky not to have scored himself. Midfielder Modric was all class, along with team-mate Casemiro who was omnipresent & Carvajal who was pivotal in the early goals.
The Germans had their chances, with some very clear opportunities that they will be remembering after the match. They lost star player Draxler in the 31st min & this was an obvious blow for them as Draxler was their danger man. Special mention for Wolfsburg goalkeeper Benaglio who was excellent making some vital saves & keeping his team alive. Said this the desired away goal, although looked for & very close, did not arrive for the Germans.
Tomorrow another magical night of Champions League when two Spanish Football Clubs, Atletico de Madrid & FC Barcelona fight out their own elimination clash. The latter takes over to Madrid 2 goals while Atletico has a valueable away goal that could give them the key. Match not to be missed.
