Real Madrid v Juventus 0-2: The pain of impotence

* Two goals from Del Piero, for the Bernebéu acclaimed, sink into pessimism at Madrid

* Drenthe, owner of the injured Robben, personified the collapse white

Sometimes it is not enough to romperte the soul, because football is much more. I ask that the Madrid Schuster, who had no further assume that the reality and recognize their diminished status, a team that lacks too much to walk around Europe. It is the harsh reality of Champions, where whites fit a dolorosísima defeat against Juventus, which make a dent and define the future of Drenthe for example, the ultimate example of powerlessness (0-2).

Escuece truth in the Bernabeu, who resigned to the fate of a team without resources, wiped out on all lines by the order tactical Turin, culminating a dream match, with concrete in the foundation and Del Piero as executor. Crazy for her disorder and with nerves shattered by the silence of the referee in the visitor area, the Madrid lived a nightmare that will take to recover.

The face of the night was Drenthe. Although he did not know, nor suspected five minutes before it was injured in the warm-Robben. The second part in Delle Alpi justified rather than on a bet by the edges, so Schuster looked at the bench and made his way to number 15. Nearly two hours and after many whistles, was identified as a player who fails to defend that jersey.

However, it would be naive achacarle all the blame for that left-handed with braids, because the disaster was too global. Since Casillas, with an error of the package as the barrier in the 0-2 through Ramos and Guti, inexplicably taken out of desperation, to reach almost always, or Marcelo Diarra, insubstantial and disowned until blush.
From a promising start to the failure of Casillas

However, it must also be acknowledged that the Madrid, pure heart, she made an acceptable part one, loaded with rage and threw the least touch of quality that Del Piero squandered. Faced with a Juventus defended in a brick, moved the ball with pace and squandered two clarísimas occasions with Ramos and Diarra to head. It is not true that came through the delicacy of the game, but to the fury that distills the big nights.

But the errors weighed on the minds and the counter, thanks to the work of Amauri and the fineness of Del Piero, left breathless at the Bernabeu. Something seemed to change after the break, with the courageous local start-up. In the absence of football left at least Redan. There were a couple of penalties to Van Nistelrooy and Raul, the penultimate step in the collective madness of Madrid.

All very similar to last March with Rome, with a team blocked by nerves. Casillas, immune to such baseness, and also accused them got screwed up the fund to place a barrier. Piece of cake for Del Piero and over Bernabéu for derision, that at least eased with a thunderous ovation to 'Pinturicchio'. No longer worth neither the epic nor Higuaín or Saviola. It was time to turn the page.
