On Saturday, I had put everything aside to get my self ready for a pulsating football encounter and perhaps the biggest football even of the season. I pulled my seats together and made sure a cup of smoothies was arranged in case the tension coming from the game was going to wear me down. As the game commenced, only one man was in my head “CR7”.

A number of records were set and the City of Cardiff was reborn. My fears didn’t take long to be entertained however as CR7 started showing sparks of his old self but Juve showed greater intentions in the early minutes of the game. Notwithstanding their 2015 UEFA Champions encounter against FC Barcelona which they might have lost making it five UEFA finals losses, yet they started on the pedal. I watched as Gonzalo Higuain forced Keylor Navas into action twice ...
