They had done everything to Madrid at the Bernabéu.

Everything except the goal, which is the best way to go through a bad time.

It was the first act, painful.

The second, on the other hand, started willfully, because you don't go from fog to sun in an instant, not on a soccer field, although this stadium has been able to get to know the four seasons in 90 minutes, better more than 90. will few know as

, who came out of the fog as usual to reverse the logic of the game or, rather, impose the logic of Madrid, finished off by his nemesis,

.

With the clearest things began, instead, Leipzig.

A team that knows what it wants in each zone of the field.

He advances the defense with risk to reduce the space, which allows coordinating high pressure.

He does not linger in the offensive transition, tremendously vertical, and any footballer always finds an unmarked teammate, thanks to the continuous mobility of all of them.

The ball is not expected, it goes to meet him.

Timo Werner

is an exponent of this game, devilish, always in search of the erónegas zones.

If his effectiveness in the shot had been different, we would talk about something else and, surely, not at Leipzig.

It is what he lacked in his time in the aristocracy.

However, he has a lot to contribute, and much of what a good coach values.

Lion heart

Werner was a torment for an unprecedented couple of central defenders,

The group stage did not stimulate him like his rival, of course, but as the minutes passed they showed an excessively erratic team, without

The stage called for the usual when a storm threatens.

It is

By the third, he was beaten, but luckily for the Whites, the French striker didn't reach Werner's pass from the side.

He is a footballer who arrives to be among the greats.

On the other side of the Bernabéu, nothing had had to stop

The closest the goalkeeper saw danger was in a possible Schlager penalty on Modric.

The VAR did not settle.

In the Champions League he acts like firefighters, only in fires.

Let's take note.

Werner, on one occasion against Carvajal and Courtois.EFE

Rodrygo

, in place of

, had not found any loopholes for his finesse.

It is not the same to go out before a team shaken like an olive tree than before the harvest.

More than pepper in the attack, Madrid lacked seasoning in the entire field.

He did it at the break.

First came the intensity, with the inevitable step back from Leipzig, because Madrid, even if pushed, puts anyone in their area.

Then Asensio jumped with a face of circumstances, very different from the one he had when he left the field after the artist's goal that closed an uphill game and that, surely, would have ended differently if it hadn't been for Valverde.

The departure of the Balearic caused the Uruguayan to delay his position, but he likes to reach the area from wherever he is.

There he was to receive from Vinicius, get around the defender and put Madrid in his place, leader in the incipient Champions League.
