Aiming at the Stars, literally!

17. March 2015 is the date that had this year’s CL´s most exciting and dramatic end. Match between Atlético Madrid VS Bayern Leverkusen took place in Madrid. First leg winners Leverkusen had good opportunities to get through to the next round and beat the last year’s finalist. But this time, Atlético had their midfield ball wizard, Koke, back from injury and ready to hit the road. Atlético had only one thing in their mind, they had to score at least 1 goal and keep their goal empty. The first and the only goal in the normal time was taken by Atléticos Midfielder Mario Suárez. Atlético had 11 corners against Leverkursen´s 2, offsides 4:1 to Atlético. Last year’s finalist wanted to prove that they deserved the last years place and wish to keep up the good work. Time went by, and the aggregate score was even. On extra time nothing special happened and the most exciting stage of the game had begun- the penalty shoot-out. All players were nervous and 5 shots out of 10 in total were saved or shot off target. Atlético won the penalty shoot-out 3:2 and moved on to the next round.

I thought the goal was bigger.
