A Fairly Emphatic Win
Well, they’ve done it. Los Blancos made it through to the next phase, after beating RBS 3-nil. It was a good performance from Real Madrid, probably the best out of the three so far. It seems that, finally, this team plays with some structure and clear intentions. What did YOU think of the match?

The MVP
Vini looked to be closer to his real self we’re used to. He dribbled and created more effectively than the shell of himself he looked like in the previous games. He got the MVP for it. Well done, superstar.
Also, that goal was fantastic. The vision by Jude and the run and finish by Vini… woo!
