Cristiano Ronaldo still the man
He might be declining, but in yesterday’s clash against Barca, he showed that he is still the man. For the first goal, he dragged Pique out of Benzema’s way for the latter to blast the ball into the net. Pique might have been in front of the Frenchman, but his mistimed jump works as a testament of his late arrival.
And then he did what he does best: score.
The former United man has been accused of not being able to score against the big teams—and rightfully so. Before yesterday’s game, he couldn’t score a single goal against the top 5 teams in Spain. But he silenced them all yesterday.
First, he provided a superb cross for Bale to head home, a goal which was wrongfully ruled out.
Then Bale returned the favour with a well-placed cross with his right foot, which the Portuguese controlled with his chest and blasted him. It was a goal that got Madrid the win and once against emphasized that he is still the man of the team.
