MEMORIES FROM THE EUROPEAN NIGHTS [BUFFON'S RED CARD IN MADRID]

Even though I am a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, but the red card of Buffon made me sad. I felt exactly the same what I felt when Zidane was sent off in 2006 World Cup Final. Though it was for a headbutt, but the emotions now are still the same as it was then 16 years ago. Juventus out played Real in Santiago Bernebeau, but that penalty made the difference. 

Was it a penalty or not? The most difficult question on this planet Earth. The Vikings will answer in affirmative while the Cules and the Juve supporters will answer in negative. Were Juve unlucky? Can't say. But, in such moments of pressure, Ronaldo scored a brilliant penalty.

At the end of this iconic European Night, it were the Spanish Giants who moved forward into to the semi-final and eventually lifted the European trophy in Kiev.
