Ramos – the secret weapon

Real Madrid destroyed Bayern Munich in Germany in the second leg of the semifinal to reach its first final act in 12 years. The Spaniards trashed Bayern 4-0 with Ronaldo and Ramos each scoring twice.

Carlo Anchelotti changed Real's face completely. He managed to implement a counterattack system and took it to perfection. In desperate need of a goal, Bayern rushed the Spanish side and it was everything Real needed. The gaps in the German defense were huge and Real took advantage over them. Surprisingly, Sergio Ramos was Anchelotti's weapon of choice. The center back scored twice in the 16th minute and four minutes after, each time with a header.

Being down a few goals, Bayer pressed on even harder and Real had even more space to operate. Cristiano Ronaldo score a third goal after half an hour and reduced a sold out Allianz Arena to silence. He got the “double” a minute before stoppage time and reached his 16 goal of the season in EUFA Champions League. The Portuguese football star is now the most prolific scorer of all times in a single Champions League season.

Real Madrid advanced into the final with a 5-0 aggregate win over Bayern Munich. Once again, the myth of the reigning champions unable to retain the trophy stands tall. Real Madrid will face in the great final, the winner of the duel Chelsea – Atletico Madrid.
