Real Crash Out

Real Madrid crashed out of europe yesterday night, in spite of making the dream start to the match, courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid put a siege on Olympique's goal during the first 30 minutes of the match, and were one up within 5 minutes. Guti controlled the ball in midfield and served a perfect assist with his left foot to Cristiano Ronaldo, who nutmegging goalkeeper Lloris with his shot.

Cristiano Ronaldo had several more chances and Higuain's were even better. The Argentine dribbled past Lloris following an assist by Granero, but his shot on the empty goal hit the near post.

The match didn't change much after half-time. Real Madrid never ceased trying to net more strikes, but they kept stumbling on the fierce French defence.

Against the run of play, Lyon managed to grab a goal - Pjanic took advantage of a series of clearances in the local box, controlling the ball with one of his thighs and scoring with his left foot.

The goal gave Lyon a ticket to the next round, and sent Cristiano Ronaldo into tears.
