Perhaps Piqué will have had better things to do, but if you were accidentally found in front of the TV to see Real Madrid-Wolfsburg, might have been tempted to change his mind on Cristiano Ronaldo, smettendola to define the best among humans and inserting it in the alien category along with Messi. The “remontada blanca” in space that leads to the semifinals of the Champions League before Zidane takes the form of two minutes, between 15 ‘and 17′, with the one-two which clears the lesson of going, then complete with 3 -0 at 22.20, the time of the crime on which there is the stamp of the same killer is CR7, a Martian that almost takes away any epic connotation to the company because it makes it look too easy. 16 goals in this Champions League, 40 in the 36 played at the Bernabeu in all editions. It is not the Zizou Real to reach the sixth consecutive semifinal. It’s the Real Cristiano.
key – For 20 minutes the Wolfsburg hardly comes out of their own half: the team defiant view in Germany, rather than by “miedo escenico” the Bernabeu that in the 80′s inspired the great European comebacks from Real Madrid, is crushed by the inferiority complex. The players on the field are the same, but when the ball arrives at 2-0 in the penalty area Bruno Henrique, the surprise of the first leg, and he wastes no time and end up kicking the ball against Marcelo, you know that something has changed. Cristiano Ronaldo, at that point, had already put the double stamp and his exultation angry, his eyes direct challenge even to his companions, was almost more scared of his achievements: the first goal, in fact, it’s easy, because just push the ball in goal following a cross from Carvajal deflected by Arnold that displaces first central defenders, then lost Vierinha; the second is a trademark, a wonderful header on Kroos corner.
reply – the one-two who would kill a bull has the effect of awakening the wolves, that almost simultaneously lose Draxler and find enamel. Pure coincidence, because the attacking midfielder, in fact, would have been invaluable in the best moment of his team and instead comes off injured after 30 minutes: Keylor Navas has to make only one save from a knock off of Luiz Gustavo, but from 20 ‘to 45′ Real almost he stopped going to attack only one other time at shooting Benzema. It is at this stage that it shows the team shortcomings: there is no organized pressure, the ball retrieval is too slow and the restarts would need a greater contribution, at least alternately, full-backs and Marcelo Carvajal or midfielder Modric and Kroos. And most of Bale, which would double the speed of Ricardo Rodriguez if only find a way to be used in space or aim it.
knockout blow – the Real Madrid picks up the game after the interval but it is never so beautiful to see: it is no coincidence, then, that opportunities always best machine comes on set pieces. And if Ramos hits a resounding pole having already splintered the crossbar in the first half, Ronaldo made no mistake, again in his own way, with the other trademark: the direct free kick. The ball passes through the barrier that opens and Benaglio is surprised: 77 ’3-0. And this time the Wolves do not react: Benaglio saves them first on Benzema, then Jesé. The story had already made reaching the quarterfinals, now to rewrite it will think a Martian named Christian.
