MAJOR UPSET FOR COMPETITION FAVOURITES
Another upset came last week in the UEFA Champions League for German heavyweights and previous competition winners Bayern Munich FC. They failed to score away at Athletico Madrid's Vicente Calderon Stadium the week before so going into their game at their home they were at a disadvantage.They were the better team in every way, by the structure of their defense, ferociousness of their attack and pure class of their formation. A free kick from legend Xabi Alonso in the 31st minutes sparked hope for 5 time Champions Bayern Munich. But a 53rd minute goal from Griezmann put Athetico in the lead on an aggregate score of both games 2-1.
A 73rd minute goal from dream transfer Lewandowski wasn't enough to counteract Griezmann's away goal so although Bayern took the game 2-1 the aggregate score was 2-2 and Athetico Madrid move onto the UEFA Champions League Final to face city rivals and 9 time Champions League winners Real Madrid. Although the final is held in Milan, Italy for the 15/16 season, it will be a derby away from home between Athletico Madrid and Real Madrid which is set to be a final to remember.
