three old nightmares
Hakim Ziyech, Cristian Pulisin and Kai Havertz are three names that are not the ones that resonate the most in the black legend of Real Madrid, but they did earn the right to be registered due to the European nightmares that made them go through in recent campaigns. Today, Tuchel aims to take out that trident at Stamford Bridge.
The first to make the night bitter for the whites was the Moroccan. Ziyech was part of that Ajax that was on the verge of the Champions League final in 18/19. The winger scored the goal that gave life to the Dutch in Amsterdam (1-2) and was key for Ajax to live a historic night at the Bernabéu with 1-4. The fans experienced a hard fall from the European reign of the three consecutive Champions.
The Moroccan was also in the semifinals between Chelsea and Real Madrid, which are reissued today, but it was Havertz and Pulisic who made Real Madrid’s night bitter. Captain America scored the important goal of the first leg and assisted Mason Mount in the 2-0 that sentenced the second leg.
