Real Disappointment...History Repeats as PSG win Champions League

This was supposed to their night. A night when all the nightmares of the past were to be wiped from memory. Real Madrid met PSG in only their 2nd Champions League final under JM - and the pressure was firmly on the men from Spain.

They had the dream run into the final - easily disposing of teams such as Benfica and Liverpool on their way to the big dance.

PSG did it the tough way. They palmed off challenges from Arsenal and Barcelona before sealing their right to this season's final.

It was a difficult contest to call. Both teams had chances. But it was PSG who took advantage from a likely source - the head of Edison Cavani once again the difference in the opening half. But it wouldn't be long before the best player on the planet Cristiano Ronaldo slotted home a deserved penalty after he was bundled over in the box by a clumsy David Luiz challenge.

1-1 would be how it stayed for the remaining match. This one looked destined for penalties until the cruellest of cruel moments once again broke the hearts of Madrid fans world-wide.

It couldn't happen again...could it?
In the 119th minute a nothing attack on the right side. A tired Marcelo chased in vain. Then a hail Mary cross to the world biggest human Zlatan Ibrahimovic who would coolly leap higher than anyone else on the field, then header the ball into the lower part of the cross bar and see it safely cross the white line as he sealed victory for PSG.

How much sadness must Real Madrid and its adoring fans endure. Surely this was their time. Words cannot describe it. Real Madrid again fall moments short of winning a Champions League title. Maybe blame it on tactics. Maybe blame it on substitutions not made. Who knows. Maybe it just wasn't their time.



He did it again - Ibrahimovic again wins a Champions League title
