#3 Lukas Piszczek vs Cristiano Ronaldo
Trending
Lukas Piszczek has been one of Bundesliga’s star defenders over the years. His performances have earned him the title of “Mr. Dependable” with the Polish full-back having rejected interest from top Premier League and Bundesliga clubs over the years instead preferring to stay loyal to Dortmund.
After making a move on a free transfer Piszczek has impressed fans and experts with his solid gameplay and sublime intensity. He now faces the unenviable responsibility of marking Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo who has been nothing short of lethal in front of goal over the years.
Cristiano Ronaldo faces the added responsibility of ensuring that the attack does not lose fizz in the absence of Gareth Bale. He has scored 12 goals this season and will be looking to increase this tally at home.
Lionel Messi has been extremely impressive for Barcelona in the recent few games and as judgment day gets closer, the race for the Ballon d’Or will get tougher. Ronaldo will be looking to deliver a sublime performance tonight which will further cement his reputation as the most deserving candidate to win the golden trophy this year.
Real Madrid have been known to fizzle out when the Portuguese experiences an off-day on the pitch. Luckily for them, this has been extremely rare. Piszczek will be looking to ensure that today is one of those rare days.
