The Colchoneros failed to complete the perfect week after knocking Barcelona out of the Champions League. A heavy blow, especially considering Griezmann and his teammates were the favorites on paper, at least.

🧤 Marrero the HERO

It was a beautiful final, full of emotion and goals, and it ended on penalties. Real took the lead twice - the first time after just 15 seconds - before being pegged back first by yet another goal from Lookman and then, in the 83rd minute, by a wonder strike from Julián Alvarez.

The twist in fate for the former City man was incredible, as he could have been the Colchonero hero. Besides scoring the equalizer, the Argentine smashed the crossbar in extra time, only to then miss one of the penalties that handed Real the win.

Along with his miss, Sørloth’s was decisive too. Basque goalkeeper Marrero thus became the idol of an entire people, who lift the trophy again five years later.
