Torres And Atletico Teach Madrid And Ronaldo A Ballon D'or Lesson by chigomiced: 6:44pm On Jan 16, 2015 |
It was the perfect motivation. Atletico, still scarred by leaving Monday's Ballon d'Or ceremony in Zurich with zero reward for their astonishing achievements in 2014, watched on as Cristiano Ronaldo presented his Golden Ball to the Santiago Bernabeu crowd. Madrid were in celebratory mood; Atleti were out to prove a point. Ronaldo was all smiles alongside Puskas prize winner James Rodriguez, Sergio Ramos and Toni Kroos (both included in the FIFPro XI on Monday as Diego Costa and Diego Godin inexplicably missed out). And less than a minute into the game, with fans only just back in their seats after raising a huge gold mosaic in Cristiano's honour, Diego Simeone's side took the lead through Fernando Torres. "It was hard [on them]," Simeone said afterwards. "There was a big crowd and the choreography was very pretty, but such an early goal marked the rhythm of the match. It wasn't part of the [Madrid] plan." When Torres left Atletico, he was too good for his boyhood club. And when Torres came back, they were supposedly too good for him. But much like the rest of his team-mates and his coach, he was out to prove a point in this match - and he did so emphatically. Visit:[url]m.goal.com/x/en-gb/news/8001512[/url] for more jist |
