Ronaldo had a largely frustrating night at the Bernabau
Florentino Pérez and Real Madrid spent $240 million in the summer hoping that Real Madrid can be at the Bernabau on the big day when the champions league final happens at Bernabau. But all their hopes were shattered by their bogey team Lyon. For the past few seasons Lyon have been a thorn in Real's european dream. If i remember correctly last season Real were battered by Lyon in the knockout stage. Atleast this season it was not the battering.
Its been 6 years since Real got past the first knock-out stage of the champions league.And all this time they looked absoultely irrestible on the attack and absoultely hopeless in defence, the trend continued this year too. They bought some world class talents in the attacking front but none in the defensive front and that has eventually led to their downfall in europe this season.
$240 million spent and what do they have to show to the world and their fans: well i would say nothing.
A humiliating loss to third tier side Alcorn in th King's cup, expected defeat in Europe in the first Knockout stage and a stumbling stroll to the first place in La liga after numerous slips from Barcelona. So there is no wrong in saying them as a flop show this season.
For me Real are never the same after Zidane's departure. From then they have lacked the Charisma at the Big stage and Yesterday's night proved to be another sad chapter in Real's history.
