Just as it happens in societies where morals are still being properly observed, It was a case of youth bowing down to their elders yesterday in the first leg of the European Champions’ League game that took place in Monaco yesterday as the home team were roundly defeated by “their more elderly opponents” Juventus F.C. of Turin.

However unlike in the game between Real Madrid and Athletico madrid, this one lived up to expectations as both sides really went at each other with real determination but then experience prevailed over youth at the end.

On a day when the “elders” – the Buffons, the Bonuccis, the Chiellinis and the Alves of this world decided to show what stuff they are made of, the younger ones on the opposite side just could not find a way to break through the lines. And of course,there was a certain Higuain upfront who ensured that the efforts of the “elders” did not go in vain as he rocketed in two solid goals to make it a completely successful evening for the visitors.

A certain 33 year old Dani Alves who was “too old” for some myopic people in F.C. Barcelona once again proved himself to be an invaluable asset to his new team as he did not just play in the mid-field as against his usual right back position but also provided the assist for the much-needed opening goal. And if anyone thought that was spectacular enough, he did not.

He went on to provide what is usually described as an inch perfect delivery of an assist for the second goal. And to buttress how good this “young old” man is, this is now his sixth assist in this competion meaning that he is now even better than when he was at F.C. Barcelona where the highest assist he ever produced for them in the competition was five.

With this victory, many of us are beginningto get the feeling that we will be seeing a Real Madrid vs Juventus encounter in the final of this year’s European Champions’ League in Cardiff a few weeks from now. Of course anything can happen in football but with the clinical way Juventus F.C. have been playing for some time now, it is going to be a real uphill task for the so far brilliant F.C. Monaco to overturn this particular deficit.
