Indeed, there were several warning symptoms for the Royal, who began the lazy and lazy game. The white ones were in position at the moment after losing the ball and shakhtar’s young green team seemed to have an extra leap in their focus.
Real started their national crusade in impressive form, winning 3 and drawing one of their first 4 matches and gave the impression of having picked up where they left off at the end of last season.
However, over the weekend, the team looked bored against Cadiz, betting on their first high-level Spanish crusade in 15 years and convincingly outperformed. Many wondered if this was just a small challenge or a look at some of Zidane’s early challenges. face this season.
Wednesday’s game would have done nothing to dispel the worries.
The brilliant start of the Shakhtar was temporarily rewarded, the guest took a deserved advantage just before 30 minutes and the Royal’s first defensive fragility was brutally exposed.
After a successful defence pass, Viktor Korniienko got the slalom in the domain without opposition and left the ball to Tete, who kept his composure and passed the ball to the rear angle.
With an eye on La Liga’s clash against Barcelona this coming weekend, Real has made several adjustments to its normal starting lineup, but there may be no excuse for this tasteless and lifeless functionality in the first half.

Party.
Then, a few minutes before the break, shakhtar had put the game beyond the Royal when Solomon clung to Tete’s shiny back heel and moved calmly into the back corner.
At this stage, even Zidane can provoke a bewildered smile, but there would be few smiles in this true locker room at half-time.
Everything the coach told his players in the period obviously had the desired effect, as two goals from Modric and Vinicius in the span of five minutes at the beginning of the moment gave Real I hope to get at least one point back.
Unsurprisingly, it was the Royal who dominated most of the era at the time, but the Shakhtar still posed a constant risk in the counterattack and Tete had an excellent opportunity to put the game to bed, to see his shot stored through Courtois.
In the final seconds of the match, Real idea had snatched his tie while Federico Valverde fired the shot at Shakhtar goalkeeper Anatolii Trubin.
However, after a brief review of the VAR, referee Srdjan Jovanovic resolved the purpose of the offside, with Vinicius in an offside position and obscuring Trubin’s view.
The final whistle sounded moments later, triggering wild scenes when the Shakhtar bank emptied and stormed the field to celebrate.

It is true that Maximus would have waited for a tighter match than this and, concerned about Bayern’s rivals, the Bavarian club far from being at its best. Atletico Madrid had many occasions, especially in the first half, but a goal-facing tee. .
Kingsley Coman, the hero of last season’s Champions League final, in the middle of Bayern’s victory, scored two goals and helped Leon Goretzka another.
Corentin Tolisso put the match out of doubt at the end of the hour with lightning from a distance after the ball bounced it.
At the time of Coman, Bayern’s fourth, a surprising solo effort, the French winger twisted and went through Atletico’s porous defence and slid the ball past Jan Oblak in the farthest corner.
Only one team in Champions League history, Real Madrid de Zidane, has already won back-to-back titles, but Bayern have the chance to do the same this season.
