Madrid Crash Out from the Spot


In last nights very anticipated Champions League tie against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich there was an early surge from the the host team! Madrid began the game by scoring 2 very early goals that gave them the win in the series from none other than there star man Crisitano Ronaldo! But just as the game was coming to an end Pepe fouled Mario Gomez in the 18 yard box and was shown a yellow and a Penalty kick was awarded to Bayern, Robben went on to score just barely as Cassillas got his hands on it and almost saved it. The game was won by Madrid 2-1 but did not prove to be enough since Bayern hand won the 1st leg 2-1 as well. Overtime was much of the same ended in a stalemate. So they went on to the penalty shoot out in which Ronaldo, Kaka, and Ramos ended up missing there spot kicks giving Bastian the chance to seal it for the visitors and finish he did. With that las PK he sent Bayern through to the final to face Chelsea in a game in which they will be missing Gustavo, Badstuber, and Alias because of there 3rd yellow. Surprisingly Ronaldo missed a spot kick in which he had already converted in the first half but was unable to thanks to an amazing save from Neuer much of the same was true for Kaka. Although Cassillas was able to save two Pk's to prolong the shoot out Ramos sealed Madrid's fate by blasting it high over the bar! So now Madrid has to look forward and concentrate in winning there last four match in La Liga to pick up the La Liga crown and claim the throne as the best in Spain!
