Barcelona looked self-conscious and adult from the first minute. The style seems to have understood that the ball is very fun when you have it, but very sacrificed when you lose it.

Real Madrid and City came out stronger, as always when talented players are enriched by the ideas of ambitious coaches. Atlético, under the protection of the Metropolitano, came out to make their status as favorites weigh and, with all the pressure, made a difference in the game and on the scoreboard (2 to 0) That seemed unattainable for a shrunken and confused Dortmund. But as the heroes taught us, every act of redemption requires great dangers to overcome. PSG came out in the second half pushing the accelerator to the floor to neutralize Barça's advantage and in two furious minutes the result turned around. It's time to shuffle and give again. Each of our representatives will go out to seek their luck armed with their historical burden: Atletico with its resistance to suffering and Madrid with its taste for the impossible.
