5 things that caught the eye in this week's Champions League action

#4 The Angel Di Maria - Marcelo bromance

Reunion after four long years

It is always a pleasant sight to see two top footballers, who previously played together, puting aside their current allegiances for a while and meeting again as friends. This is exactly what happened in the Santiago Bernabeu tunnel, when Marcelo and Angel Di Maria met ahead of the all-important clash between their respective sides.

Ahead of the kickoff, Di Maria and Marcelo met and embraced each other before the action began. During his four year stay in Madrid, Di Maria was a popular figure in the Real Madrid squad and was said to be on brilliant terms with the likes of Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo.

In his first return to his former club, after four long years, Marcelo ensured that the Argentine had a return to savour.
