Real Madrid is already into the Champions League quarterfinals. They're win against Bayern Munich has confirmed Real's superiority. The command of the game was in Querioz' boys for more than three quarters of the encounter. Mejia and Solari did a very efficient job replacing Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo. Queiroz' tactics were very wise in deploying such a sound squad determined to win this round right from kickoff. We watched some big name football today at Bernabéu. The white crowed enjoyed a very exciting match-up and played a definitive role with all its support to the home side. Zinedine Zidane's target eight minutes from halftime proved a good advantage despite all the dangerous charges by the German side, which never gave up on the magician fight. The last four minutes of play were just crazy. Anxiety took over both the pitch and the stands. Guti was struck on the face after Kuffour pushed the white captain, but the home side finally ran out as an distinguished winner, like champions do.
