With the 1st leg of quarter-finals finished we have the results of the matches and they are absolutely a shocker ! Yep ! This is not what we expected for sure,of course this year has been full of unexpected warped-bombs,So further to do lets have a look at the results !
Results :
BARCELONA 2-1 ATLETICO MADRID
BAYERN 1-0 BENFICA
WOLFSBURG 2-0 REAL MADRID
PARIS ST-GERMAN 2-2 MAN. CITY
BARCELONA Vs ATLETICO
This match was absolutely awesome,both the sides played very well ,but its football thus we have a winner ! and as we already discussed about this match briefly in this article/post - CLICK HERE TO VIEW POST we move to the next match !
BAYERN Vs BENFICA
Before starting a FACT "This was Pep-Guardiola's 150th game as Bayern Boss and 114th win with them",So now,Bayern all most controlled the whole match I should say because they were always in the head of Benfica's defenders and they had many chances which were all missed or saved by the goal-keeper !
And this match was a shocker because this match was a cat-on-wall state since Bayern only scored one goal which came from Vidal who scored a early header in the 2nd-min,This match went in the unexpected way because we always expect Bayern to score atleast more than 2 goals against teams like Benfica,But OH BOY we are wrong because its football and football is always like having 2 brains at the same time,we never know what happens ! Anyway as far the match is concerned Bayern won the match with a 1-Goal lead which is not at all helpful for them in the 2nd-leg.
WOLFSBURG Vs REAL MADRID
Okay now maybe this match is the reason for the title of the post/article,So first let us see what the "RMA Boss" Zidane said "That's football - that's how difficult it is. That's what happens when you don't play with intensity from the start. We have to rest and think about the return leg because we still have the chance to change everything."
So yea Real-Madrid lost to Wolfsburg which was totally not expected and we have to admit that RM played poor in the match which costed the result.
Let us have a look what the happy-faced Wolfsburg manager said "I was laughed at when I said that we may have a chance. Real had their opportunities early on and we were a bit lucky,We pulled together, we found the spaces and played very well. Now we will go to Madrid, knowing that we have a chance to advance."
And once again Ronaldo failed to shine in this match too,which is also considered as one of the reasons for the loss by the fans.
This was the one and only match which kept us at the edge of our seats because both the sides played with all the power they had and when we thought we had a winner the match ended in a draw by the deflected goal by Fernandhino(Man City).
And you have to praise Joe hart for saving 2 consecutive penalties which was offered to PSG,if he didn't save those the match would have ended with a huge score-line.
The goal from Kevin de Bruyne gave Man City the lead after Joe Hart saved Ibrahimovic's penalty,Zlatan took advantage on Fernando's mistake to equalise and Adrien Rabiot scored in the second half to put PSG in front.
So yea these are the results of the 1st leg of the UCL quarter-finals and this is still not finished yet there is another leg to decide who is going in for the semi-finals and after that we will have our winners to face in the semi-finals !!
