Real Madrid’s passage to the Champions League quarter-final will remain a memory in their minds, thanks to a historic uprising against Paris Saint-Germain, after they overturned their goal to win 3/1, the day before yesterday, Wednesday..
By scoring 3 goals about half an hour before the end, all of which were signed by the French star, Karim Benzema, who sparked a state of great joy at the Santiago Bernabeu.
In the following lines, we review the highlights of the second leg of the final price match:
Donnarumma’s fault
The best goalkeeper of the last European Championship will not be able to keep a good memory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
His overconfidence ignited the stands, and the enthusiasm of Real’s players to return.
Donnarumma made a mistake in receiving the ball from his colleague, which allowed Karim Benzema to pressure him, to bounce the ball to Vinicius, who replied to the Frenchman, to put it skillfully to the right of the goalkeeper.
Modric’s experiences
Luka Modric’s experience affected the course of the match, when Real Madrid moved forward, looking for what seemed impossible in the first half.
The Croatian was a haven for the rest of his teammates, despite his 36-year-old age, with defensive efforts that won the admiration of the public, when he aborted an attacking attempt by Lionel Messi.
Moments later, he snatched a ball and saw space to run, and launched a long journey that ended with a pass to Vinicius, before dedicating a ball to Benzema, who scored the second goal.
The footage of the celebration inside the dressing rooms showed Modric’s leadership personality, greeting his comrades one by one, and motivating the young people who had always received instructions from him.
Benzema’s rapture
The chances of Real Madrid returning were slim, but Donnarumma’s mistake due to Benzema’s pressure, opened the door for the team.
Benzema lived one of the best nights as a Real Madrid legend. Previously, he was playing to help others and make them the best, but now he is carrying the team on his shoulders.
Vinicius contributed to the first goal, but he quickly returned to the tension, as was the case in his early days with the team.
Marco Asensio was also not at his best, while Rodrygo made a great effort, but he was far from goal.
Benzema drew great attention, especially in the celebration of the last goal, as he kneeled on the pitch, raising his hands to the sky.
Alaba celebration
Among the memorable scenes of the celebration, David Alaba went to the stands to celebrate with the fans, as he took one of the security personnel’s chairs, and lifted it up to celebrate the victory.
salute respect
The referee blew the final whistle, declaring Real Madrid’s historic victory.
The players were celebrating on the field, exhausted from the great effort, while Carlo Ancelotti was giving a salute filled with respect to Kylian Mbappe, in a sign of what was to come.
Mbappe was the winner in the first leg, and also scored the lead for his team in the first half at the Bernabéu, but his brilliance was not enough to lead PSG to achieve a long-awaited dream.
Paris came out at the hands of a team that Mbappe wants to wear his shirt, and most likely this will happen next season, to play under the direction of the coach, who was one of the first to shake hands with him after the match.
