Real Madrid vs Bayern Munchen 2nd leg






This game between real madrid and bayern munich was really important. Both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich  got to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. Bayern munich already had the lead 2-1 from the 1st leg. Only on minute 5, Angel Di Maria takes a shot, Alaba stopped the ball. It hit his hand. He got a yellow card and that meant that he's gonna miss next match. Also, of course Real Madrid had a penalty and Cristiano Ronaldo was taking it. He shot and he scored the opening goal. On minute 11, Mario Gomez takes a shot. Iker Casillas pushed the ball away and Frank Ribery shot the rebound right to the outside post. Two minutes after, Sergio Ramos had a great chance. When he was almost inside the area, he passed the ball to Karim Benzema which passed it right to Cristiano Ronaldo which shot the ball to the corner and scored. That made the game 2-0. The aggregate score was now 3-2 Real Madrid. On minute 26, Arjen Robben was dribbling inside the area. Pepe slide tackled him causing a yellow card for him and a penalty for Robben. Robben scored his penalty and tied up the aggregate score which was now 3-3. In stoppage time Robben took a free kick. He really thought about this quote: you don't need power, you need good aim. Anyway, Iker Casillas dove and caught the ball. After the break, on minute 47,Sebastian Schweinsteiger made a long pass to Mario Gomez which headed the ball right into the corner of the net but again Iker Casillas saves it. So they go to overtime. Real Madrid made two full time  substitutions which were Karim Benzema for Gonzalo Higuain, and Angel Di Maria for Kaka.On minute 104, Bastuber gets a yellow card and also he misses next match. Then, minute 117, Casillas passes the ball to Marcelo. He starts dribbling. He resisted 3 slide tackles. When he came to the area, he passed the ball to Higuain which shoots and scores. The goal was canceled by the referee's assistant because it was offside. So they went to P.K.s. Alaba is shooting first. He scored. Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was saved by munich's G.K. Neuer. Mario Gomez scores making the penalties 2-0 munich. Then Kaka shot a nice shot but missed. Then Kroos shot his penalty right to the angle but Iker Casillas tipped it off . Then Xabi Alonso shoots a high chip shot into the corner of the net.Then Lahm (the captain) shoots. Iker Casillas makes an awesome dive, he threw his body but left his arms behind. Then Sergio Ramos shoots. Higher than the cross bar! Does he want to shoot the ball to heaven?! Terrible shot. Now it's all up to Sebastian Schweinsteiger. He has 100% pressure. If he scores, they go to the finals. He takes a shot, and he scores!!! And Bayern Munich passes on to the finals vs. Chelsea FC. Looks like it's a hard game.  

Argentina vs. Colombia

This game between Argentina and Colombia, is from the Copa America. It's not so important because it's in  Group Stage, but it still is important. The opening chance was for Colombia on minute 3. Banega passes to Milito, Milito passes bad to Romero so Guarin gets the ball, Burdisso slide tackles him, no penalty, Moreno gets the ball, Romero charges up, he can't get it, Moreno still going, he shoots, it goes in the outside part of the goal. Then maybe ten chances for Argentina and it's halftime. Then after the break,  Argentina uses their three substututions. They are, Aguero for Banega, Lavezzi for Gago, and Higuain for Burdisso. That forms the best lineup for Argentina. The game ended 0-0 in full time. My player of the game was Romero. He saved 7 amazing chances. He played really good. The  weird thing about that is that Romero is usually a bad goalie. Looks like he's been training a lot.
