Yesterday was another thrilling period in football. Lots of the big dogs locked horns together yesterday for the title challenge
In English premier league(EPL), we saw the two Red Titans(Liverpool vs Manchester United) battled one another to stay on top of the league table.. It was really a thrilling match to watch but it wasn't as thrilled as I predicted it to be. I was expecting to see both teams play a very good games with at least three(3) in the match because Liverpool defence is just out of it and I expected Man Utd capitalizing on it while on the hand, Man Utd defence is good at making errors lot and Expected Liverpool to capitalize on that as well. Anyways sharing the points isn't a bad idea and that means, the red devils remain on top of the league table
Two other bigger dogs locked horns in the Italian SERIE A yesterday. It was another thrilling match to watch and I believe all eyes was on Juventus because the recently beat the league leaders AC MILAN 3-1 which was a little bit shocking because AC MILAN are in top form compared to Andrea Pirlo side.It was really a tough game yesterday and Inter Milan came out as the better team beating the Italian champions 2 goals to nothing. Juventus really lack rhythm in the middle and their star, the five times world best had a woeful game yesterday. He wasn't anywhere close to his best in the game. He was marked out of the game and couldn't find a way to break down Conte team defence. They really shaped their defence in a well mannered way that made it difficult for the Italian champions to penetrate. C.Ronaldo really had a bad day and should I say his age is gradually telling on him and he is declining in his way and style of playing. Juventus really need to signs players that can support Ronaldo
Not only Ronaldo had a bad day as well, his long time rival Lionel Messi, also had a woeful and frustrated day. His team played Athletic Bilbao in the super cup finals. Another match which most will think is a win for Barcelona team because they recently beat Bilbao 3-2 away from home but it was the opposite that happened yesterday with the same scoreline. Griezman looked to have put the game to end when he scored brace for his team but Villalibre gave the Catalans a shocker in the 90th minutes which led to extra time where Williams who has be active and causing problems for the Catalans scored which was definitely the goal they needed to win the game and lift the cup.
Lionel Messi had a woeful day, three of his attempted amounted to nothing and he couldn't help his team lift the cup. To make things worst for him, he received the first RED CARD of his Barcelona career out of foul he commented due to frustration. He could have prevented that red card from happening because it was already towards to the end of the match. He might be set to miss some couple of games and that will mean him sitting to watch the games from the stand
