I know it's kinda late but I'm still gonna write about it anyway! Well, last saturday (24th May 2014) I watched Champions League final which was held in Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, Lisbon. But, I'm only watch it at my home, alone! You can call me a loser! Well, it's a game between Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid. This is the first game I watched for 13/14 season because my dad had already unsubscribed the sports package on Astro. I'm too lazy to watch streaming but since this is the last game for this season, I'm giving up! Well, we don't know if Real Madrid will be able to play in final again next season. So, there!
Well, the game is kinda exciting. Real controls most of the game. They keep attacking but Atletico's defends is so strong. Their goalkeeper is also very alert and quick to keep the ball away. But, everything is changed at minute 36th where Diego Godin break Real's defends and scored the opening goal for Atletico. I must say that it is a dramatic goal - in my opinion. I can see how Casillas tried to save the ball. It's like I'm watching an action movies where he jumped and fall to save the ball. I know he tried his best! But, I keep steady and calm because there's still hope in second half.
In second half, both team tried their best to attack and defend. I keep checking the time because the game can't end if Real doesn't win! Ten minutes before the game end I know that Atletico will win for sure! I thought that there's no hope for Real anymore. I can see that the Atletico's fans looked so nervous. I think, they wants the game to end already so that they can have the trophy. The game finally comes to the 90th minutes. I'm so frustrated. I hope that the referee will be generous in awarding the injury time. In the first half, the ref only give 1 minute for the extra time. Thanks to ref, he gave 5 minutes extra time. I think there's still hope for Real. At the 3rd minutes, magic happened. The man of the match, Sergio Ramos finally scored for Real. I can see how happy Real's fans are and also the disappointed face of Atletico's fans.
The game leads to extra time. Real's players battling to be a champion. At 110th minutes, Bale scored a header for the second goal. 8 minutes later, Marcelo who is a subs scored for the third goal. The moment Marcelo scored the goal, I know exactly that there's no hope for Atletico anymore - sorry. At minute 120+1, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the fourth goal on penalty. Well, people can say that he scores a penalty but it is still a goal and he's still the top scorer of CL. So there haters! But, all I can say is that he's not perform at his best because of his injury but he still did it anyway. How I wish I was there at the stadium and celebrate along with them. Watching your favourite team play and won is the greatest feeling ever!
Congratulations Real Madrid for the 10th Champions League title. I hope that they will do again next season. For the eleventh maybe!
