A wednesday of mixed reactions as news broke in the morning that Kevin de Bruyne had sustained what looked like a calf injury during training at Manchester City but series of tests have to be run by the Club's physio to determine if the injury is a serious one or not.
Victor Moses came out to announce his retirement from International Football as he bade farewell to the Nigerian National Team stating his unselfish desire to allow young talents flourish in the National Team. His other reason was to be with his young family,his 6-year old son,Brentley and 3-year old daughter,Nyah moses.
The day came to an end with the UEFA Super Cup Final between Real Madrid and their Woman Crush,Athletico Madrid. Athletico Madrid last beat Real Madrid 2-1 on the 10th of may,2017. Athletico suffered a 4-1 loss to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions league Final in 2016 and also suffered a 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid at the Vicente Calderon,the home of Athletico Madrid.
It has been Real Madrid coming out on top of Athletico Madrid which made Real Madrid the favourite anytime these two meet to the extent of Football Fans saying Real Madrid has a crush on Athletico Madrid which makes them unable to stop beating Athletico Madrid.
The match started with an early goal from Diego Costa in the first minute after he found himself in space and fired into the roof of the net. Karim Benzema equalised for Real Madrid in the 27th minute after heading in a cross from Gareth Bale. They were levelled at Half Time.
The Second Half resulted into a penalty decision in favour of Real Madrid after Juanfran of Athletico Madrid handled the ball in the box. Sergio Ramos converted and put Real Madrid ahead but Diego Costa had other ideas after he took advantage of the slacking defense from Real Madrid to level the scores.
Ninety Minutes ended with the Teams levelled and extra time was needed to separate the teams as a woeful defensive tactic gave Saul of Athletico Madrid the space to score a volley from a pass by Thomas partey. Diego Costa was the architect of the fourth goal after he made way for himself into the Real Madrid box before laying the ball to vitolo who decided not to be selfish and passed it to Koke who was free and had the space to send Real Madrid into a state of disbelief.
It was a well earned victory for Athletico Madrid as they are set to stop being the Woman Crush of Real Madrid. Real Madrid last lost a non-domestic cup final in 2000 and have been sent back to check where things went wrong by Athletico Madrid.
Is this the end of the common saying that 'Real Madrid must not get to the final, once they do, they win' or did Athletico Madrid benefit from luck? Only the new season can bring answers.
