UEFA CHAMPIONS
LEAGUE
ATHLETICO 2-0 JUVENTOS
GLORIOUS GIMENEZ
Morata wins a header. Mandzukic tries to flick clear but the
ball slams off the prone Bonucci and sits up for Gimenez, who slams home from
the middle of a melee, into the bottom left
A free kick out on the right is hoicked into the mixer by
Griezmann. Mandzukic, facing his own goal, tries to hook clear, but only sends
the ball towards Godin, on the right-hand corner of the six-yard box. Godin
flicks goalwards from a tight angle, the ball breaking off Ronaldo and into the
net
MY
OPINION
I think that this tie is over
and there is very little the Italians can do but it took a very long time for
them to do. They look solid at the back and did not look like they would concede.
They are a bit behind Barca in the league at the moment but that looks not to
be over. . Juventus seem to have their title wrapped up.
SHAKLA 2-3 MAN CITY
STYLISH STRLING
The German’s seemed to think play should have stopped
because Uth went down under an aerial challenge by Laporte at the far end of
the pitch. But they didn’t put the ball out, instead just stroked it about
casually. City nicked it off Sane at the edge of the home box and David Silva
then squared it to Aguero, who rolled into an empty net from six yards!
Var reached a verdict. It was undoubtedly handball and
evidently the officials have decided that Otamendi should have been able to get
his hand out of the way. The former Spurs midfielder keeps his composure after
an epic delay and sends Ederson the wrong way!
Fernandinho booked for pulling down Sané as a freekick was
making its way into the area. No quibble with that decision. Bentalebed goes
the opposite side to his first one. Ederson dives full-length the right way.
He picks up a second yellow for a rash trip on Burgstaller
near half way as Schalke loosely threatened to launch a
counter-attack
Sterling is brought down about 28 yards from goal, Sane
whips an amazing curling shot over the wall and into the top corner. Power and
precision and absolutely no chance for the keeper!
Sterling latches on to a long boot upfield by Ederson
and prods it first time past the keeper from an acute angle! Ropey defending
by Schalke but brilliant persistence and composure by Sterling.
MY
OPINION
I think that this was a very interesting
game that went back and forward but City Second in the Prem can not think it is
over against Shalka 14th in the Bundaslegua but you would have seen
this match as a sure fire win for the English side now they will have to worry
about the mistakes they have made in conceding their penalties and the sending
off
