Sergio Ramos has delivered an exceptional performance for Real Madrid at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena. In this semi-final return leg, the Spanish club has almost eliminated any suspense by leading 3-0 at halftime. With a 1-0 victory in Madrid, the Germans now face the daunting task of scoring 5 goals to qualify.
Remarkably, it is a defender who has emerged as the hero of the evening. Sergio Ramos, left unmarked by the Bavarian defense, has scored twice. First, he found the net from a corner, and then again from a free kick delivered by Gareth Bale. The German defenders seemed preoccupied with marking Ronaldo.
Speaking of Ronaldo, the Portuguese star showcased his talent in the 30th minute with a lightning counter-attack goal, capitalizing on a pass from Bale to deceive Neuer. Despite Bayern’s possession of the ball, they have been unable to convert it into meaningful opportunities.
