Close To The Tenth

Today Real Madrid broke a bad record of six consecutive years without entering the Quarter finals round! It was an excellent match where Marcelo, Benzema and Ozil were decisive. They became great players that have demonstrated their talent, with two goals for Benzema and Marcelo and two assists that Ozil put in. Real Madrid fans must be extremely happy after finally being able to see their team beat Olympique de Lyon to get passed the 16 round. Also its the first time that Real Madrid wins against Olympique de Lyon the rest of the times they had faced each other, the results had been either defeat or in the best chances tie.

Today after long and harsh times, Real Madrid again remembers what it is to make part of the best 8 European clubs, a group were they should always be. ¨  We are Real Madrid, it is normal to be in the next round. That was not the case in recent years. ¨ Jose Mourinho, said.

Anyways we won without this being a match that will be remembered for the way the team played, but for the history of not getting passed round of 16. Now ahead of us awaits the real part where there are only great European teams except for two that are: Shaktahr Donetsk and shalke 04. Since now is that we will be able to see what is Real Madrid ready and up to, since now we might encounter F.C. Barcelona.
