Ronaldo Tizenegyese és a Bajnokok Ligája Klasszikusa: Real Madrid vs. PSG
Tudni lehetett előre, hogy a Real Madrid és a PSG párharca sok beszédtémát ad majd, hiszen a címvédő az egyik legkomolyabb, Neymarral felturbózott kihívójával találkozott a BL nyolcaddöntőjében. And so goliath met goliath, new money met old, a team supercharged around imported talent to glorify a self-regarding regime facing off one constructed to do exactly the same in the 21st century.
Az Első Felvonás: Santiago Bernabéu
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid came from behind to stun Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 in the first leg of their heavyweight Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday. Real supporters chose an image of a famous fan in Rafael Nadal to adorn a display unfurled at the south end of the ground as the sides came out, hoping their team could draw inspiration from someone who has conquered Paris 10 times as French Open champion.
A mérkőzés elején a Real Madrid erős nyomás alá helyezte a fiatal PSG védelmet. With their season - and potentially Zinedine Zidane's future - hinging on their Champions League campaign, Real flew out of the traps, pressurising the youthful backline selected by Unai Emery. Surprise PSG inclusion Yuri Berchiche was fortunate not to be penalised for a foul in the area on Toni Kroos in the early Real onslaught, before Ronaldo fired a volley wide in a frantic opening few minutes.
A hazaiak jól kezdtek, miközben Neymar küszködött a pályán. The hosts started well too, while Neymar struggled, slipping when one pass was aimed towards him, complaining as a Luka Modric challenge sent him to the floor and picking up a yellow card for a foul on Nacho. Ronaldo, meanwhile, saw Alphonse Areola make a fine save from his net-bound shot after he had been released by Marcelo, and not long after that, in the 33rd minute, PSG scored. Neymar could claim an assist, although it didn’t look like the Brazilian meant to help Kylian Mbappe’s low ball across the box from the right into the path of Rabiot, who swept home unmarked.
A PSG értékes idegenbeli gólt szerzett. PSG had a precious away goal, but they could not hold their lead until the break as Giovani Lo Celso gave away a penalty for a foul on Toni Kroos. After the impressive Alphonse Areola had tipped a curling Karim Benzema effort behind for a corner, Giovani Lo Celso hauled Kroos to ground in the area, allowing Ronaldo to reach of century of Real Madrid goals in Europe from 12 yards. Areola, having just made a superb save from Karim Benzema, could do nothing to keep out Ronaldo’s spot-kick. Ronaldo scored his 100th Champions League goal for title-holders Real from the penalty spot late in the first half to cancel out Adrien Rabiot’s opener for the French side at the Santiago Bernabeu, set up by Neymar.
A vendégeknek a második félidőben is voltak lehetőségeik az újabb vezetés megszerzésére. The visitors had chances to go ahead again in the second half, Keylor Navas saving well from Mbappe and Sergio Ramos blocking bravely from Rabiot. Navas got down low to deny Mbappe's first attempt on goal within four minutes of the restart as PSG took control of the second half, which could have been lost had Neymar picked up a second yellow for theatrically going to ground under a Casemiro challenge. Emellett, a Real Madrid edzője, Zinedine Zidane okos cseréket hajtott végre, ami döntőnek bizonyult.
Instead, it was the 79th-minute inclusion of Marco Asensio which wrestled control away from PSG as his two low crosses were dispatched by the knee of Ronaldo and Marcelo's drive in a thrilling three-minute spell which ensured Zidane, and Real's Champions League defence, lived to fight another day. The Portuguese star then turned the ball home from close range with seven minutes left before Marcelo secured what could turn out to be a decisive first-leg lead ahead of the return in Paris on March 6 and sent nearly 80,000 home fans into raptures. Under pressure himself with Real flagging domestically, he needed this win, and will earn praise for his substitutions, with Marco Asensio coming off the bench to set up each of the two late goals.
Zidane kockáztatott a kezdőcsapattal. That was after Zidane had taken a risk by leaving out Gareth Bale, a key element in the side that has won three of the last four Champions Leagues. The Welshman’s place in the line-up was taken by Isco. Zinedine Zidane made three changes from Saturday’s 5-2 win over Real Sociedad as Nacho, Casemiro and Isco started in place of the suspended Dani Carvajal, Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez. Emery went even further, dropping his captain Thiago Silva to make way for 22-year-old Presnel Kimpembe in the centre of the PSG defence. Emery then surprisingly took off Edinson Cavani and replaced him with Thomas Meunier, a right-back.
A Sokkoló Tizenegyes: Ronaldo és a "Mozgó Labda"
A mérkőzés egyik legtöbbet vitatott pillanata Ronaldo büntetőrúgása volt, mely során a labda látszólag megmozdult a rúgás pillanata előtt.

Ha figyelmesen megnézik az alábbi lassítást, akkor egyértelműen látszik, hogy a labda a rúgás pillanata előtt a levegőbe emelkedik. Rio Ferdinand magyarázata, ha lehet, még a jelenségnél is hihetetlenebb. "Néha szórakozott ezzel az edzésen, tudom, őrültségnek hangzik, de esküszöm, hogy akkor is megcsinálta." - állította volt csapattársáról. Ha így is volt, Ronaldo túl gyakran nem élt a trükkel, talán egy-két olyan tizenegyest találtunk róla (eddig), aminél a labda mintha megmozdulna, de egyik esetben sem olyan látványosan, mint a PSG ellen.
Az esetről vitázók egyik fele azzal érvelt, hogy Ronaldo a támaszkodó lábával hozzáért a labdához, ettől mozdult meg, és ha így történt, akkor szabálytalannak minősült volna a büntető kettős érintés miatt. A megoldás tudatossága mellett a másik nagy, és talán még fontosabb kérdés, hogy szabályos-e az ilyen büntetőből szerzett gól? A kérdéssel felhívtuk Bede Ferenc volt FIFA-bírót, aki a felvételek megtekintése és némi gondolkodási idő után arra jutott, hogy elméletileg meg kellett volna ismételtetni a büntetőt, mert a szabály kimondja, hogy a labdának a büntetőponton kell állnia a rúgás pillanatáig, attól semmilyen irányban nem távolodhat el, sem előre, sem hátra, sem pedig felfelé. Ugyanakkor Ronaldo nem követett el szabálytalanságot, mivel a kitámasztó lábával nem ért a labdához. Bede Ferenc ugyanakkor azt a jogos észrevételt tette, hogy a meccs játékvezetője a legkevésbé sem hibáztatható, mivel a labda apró megemelkedését szabad szemmel nem lehett észrevenni, különösen hogy Ronaldo támaszkodó lába takarta a labdát a bíró elől.
A Visszavágó: Parc des Princes
A visszavágón a Parc des Princes-ben, Cristiano Ronaldo és Casemiro második félidei góljai elegendőnek bizonyultak ahhoz, hogy ismételten elfojtsák a Paris Saint‑Germain reményeit a Bajnokok Ligája későbbi szakaszába való jutásra. On a gripping, relentlessly noisy night at the Parc des Princes second-half goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro were enough to extinguish once again Paris Saint‑Germain’s hopes of making it to the late stages of the Champions League. A 5-2 aggregate victory hardly does justice to the French champions’ fine showing in the opening hour of the first leg of this tie. But the ease of Real Madrid’s ultimate victory speaks volumes not just for their own champion poise but for the difficulty of combining dreams of European dominance with the room-temperature French league.
A PSG az első mérkőzés óta megnyerte utolsó négy mérkőzését, 13-2-es összesített eredménnyel. PSG had won their last four games since that first leg in Madrid, with an aggregate score of 13-2. This, though, was something else as Madrid pranced about from the start with an alluring sure-footedness. Ahogy gyakran teszi idegenben is, Ronaldo elölről vezette a csapatát, néhány extra trükköt és cselt bemutatva, kihúzva magát. As he often does away from home, Ronaldo led his team on from the front, unveiling a few extra tricks and flicks, puffing his chest out. Ronaldo may move less these days, may be fast becoming a kind of CR7-tribute, his own gloriously toned and tanned waxwork, but he remains a mercilessly imposing figure, coming into this game with 14 goals in his past eight games.
A mérkőzés elején a PSG eltökélten kezdett. PSG began with some purpose . In the early exchanges the spidery Adrien Rabiot in particular was able to bounce his way through the clinches. Ronaldo talán korán kiállíttathatta volna magát, ha eltalálja Dani Alvest, aki szívességet tett neki azzal, hogy nem vetette magát a földre. He might have been sent off early on had he connected with a kick at Dani Alves, who did him a favour by forgetting to throw himself to the floor. Instead Ronaldo received just a ticking‑off. The privileges of extreme celebrity are numerous.
Ettől eltekintve a Real Madrid bajnok módjára helyezkedett el. Otherwise Madrid did settle like champions. With 20 minutes gone a spell of insistent white-shirted pressure led to a corner, from which Sergio Ramos forced the first real save of the night from Alphonse Areola. Ha a PSG-ből hiányzott a szikra, akkor a pontosság is hiányzott a pontrúgásaikból, ami Neymar játékának egy másik kulcsfontosságú eleme volt, és most hiányzott. If PSG lacked a spark they also lacked precision in their set pieces, another key part of Neymar’s game that was missing here. Még a félidő előtt vezetést szerezhettek volna, Kylian Mbappé végre Marcelo oldalán támadott, de Keylor Navas blokkolta az alacsony lövését, miközben a Parc már ünnepelni kezdett. They could still have taken the lead just before half-time, Kylian Mbappé finally working as overlap on Marcelo’s flank, but seeing his low shot blocked by Keylor Navas even as the Parc began to celebrate. Benzema öt perccel korábban betalálhatott volna, miután a PSG védelem jobb oldalát elveszítette. Benzema should have scored five minutes earlier, scampering through on goal after losing the right side of the PSG defence. Alacsony lövését Areola jól védte, de be kellett volna lőnie. His low shot was well saved by Areola. But he should have buried it.
A félidőben gól nélküli állásnál a Real Madridnak már legalább az egyik lába a legjobb nyolc között volt. With the game scoreless at half-time Madrid already had at least one foot in the last eight. Six minutes after the break Ronaldo was given space and time to kill the tie with a goal made by some wonderful work from Marco Asensio. His turn and reverse pass put Vázquez in space. The cross was perfect for Ronaldo to hang and nod past Areola for his 22nd goal in his past 13 games in this competition.
A 65. percben a mérkőzés végérvényesen eldőlt, amikor Marco Verratti második sárga lapot kapott reklamálásért. On 65 minutes the game receded decisively over the horizon as Marco Verratti received a second yellow card for dissent, charging at the referee after a heavy tackle and being left to repent, tearfully as he trudged off the pitch. Edinson Cavani az este folyamán egyenlített, egy kapu előtti kavarodás után betalált, és újabb piros fáklyákat gyújtott, mielőtt a mérkőzés Casemiro győztes góljával a végéhez közeledett. Edinson Cavani equalised on the night, deflecting the ball home after a scramble and sparking another outbreak of red flares before the game faded to a close after Casemiro’s winner. Ahogy a Real Madrid továbbjut a legjobb nyolcba, a PSG európai klubfutball meghódítására tett kísérletei iránti érdeklődés megmarad. As Madrid march on to the last eight the fascination with PSG’s attempts to conquer European club football will remain.
Unai Emerynek félnie kell a jövőjéért innentől. Unai Emery will fear for his future from here. By the end his team of plastic galácticos were down to 10 men and if not quite in disarray, then tamed far too easily.

Játékosok és Edzők Véleménye
"These days are to be remembered, and what better way to do it than with the character we showed," Real skipper Sergio Ramos told Spanish television. "We need to keep playing like that, with the desire to defend the Champions League. You can never consider Real Madrid to be dead and buried."
Rabiot szerint a PSG-t ismerős problémák gyötörték. Rabiot said PSG were plagued by familiar problems "We always say the same things and we always get caught out in the same way," Rabiot told beIN Sports. "The problem is it's easy to score eight against Dijon, or four goals in league games. It is in these matches that you need to be decisive."
A PSG késői összeomlása a tavalyi szezonban a Barcelona ellen elszenvedett 6-1-es vereségre emlékeztet, amikor szégyenletes módon estek ki a versenyből ugyanabban a szakaszban. The late collapse for PSG brings back echoes of the way they fell apart to lose 6-1 in Barcelona on their way to a humiliating exit at the same stage of the competition last season. Neymar, in Barcelona’s ranks then, could not make the difference for PSG, who now have a huge job on their hands to turn the tie around. Having looked set to come away with a precious draw, the defeat piles the pressure on coach Unai Emery, but for Real the outcome is an enormous boost for their boss Zinedine Zidane.

A Mérkőzés Embere: Cristiano Ronaldo
Asensio's impact from the bench was pivotal but Ronaldo's coolness from the spot to equalise, and awareness to be in the right place to knee Real into the lead after spells of PSG dominance, was telling. On a night when the Portuguese became the first player to score 100 Champions League goals for a single club, claims of his diminishing influence were firmly put to one side as he set his sights on yet more glory on the biggest of stages.
