A fantastic match for Diego Godin against Juventus last night. Ronaldo and friends were unable to respond to Atletico’s goal, scored by both their centre backs no less, who at the other end also kept Juve’s attack out. A future look into the things to come, Nerazzurri fans will be hoping.
“If Godin replicates this. Inter and Marotta have made a very good signing indeed”, this what Gazzetta dello Sport hypothesises today.
The old fashioned defender, a dying breed of pure grinta, is still considered one of the best in the world and he was given the highest match rating by Gazzetta as well, of 7.5, earning man of the match in their opinion. A standout performer in what was a very well orchestrated Atletico Madrid team.
Inter fans have seen Juventus almost come back from 3-0 down to Real Madrid, so they’ll be hoping that in the second leg, Atletico can deliver and equal or better their performance. Eyes will once again be on Godin, as he will no doubt be compared to Varane and Ramos if Atletico are able to progress.
