Against Turkey, Portugal got left behind after Umut Bulut scored the opening goal for Turkey. Trying to equalized the point in the second half, Portugal failed the effort and had to accept Bulut’s second goal.

Luckily, at minute 57th, Portugal managed to score their first goal through Luis Nani.

At minute 68, Portugal actually had a chance to equalize the score after the ref rewarded Miguel Lopes with a penalty kick. Cristiano Ronaldo  got the honor as the executor, but somehow failed to finish the task.

And as if it wasn’t enough, 2 minutes before the match ended, Turkey scored their third goal. It was like a nightmare as Pepe made a suicide goal, that ended the game with 1-3 for Turkey’s victory. Let us hope they can do better this week in the real match.

But then it became such a disappointment after Barcelona and Real Madrid got kicked out in the semi finals. And as shocking as it was, the crucial match happened at their own home ground, where they usually become every football  club’s nightmare.

Both their top players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi each have failed in a matter of life penalty shot. True, in football anything could happen. Even hundreds of million euros can’t help any club from getting the dream Trophy.

What makes it unbearable to face, is that both team were showing a great expectation in the group match. Madrid succeeded in getting a perfect point, while Barcelona only lost 2 points after a draw over AC Milan.

So what could go wrong ? Could they just under-estimate the underdog team that is apparently showed their true power in the important match ?

Or maybe it was because they have put too much mind and energy in the Spanish league competition that they barely have left for the Champions League ?

No matter what answer we could find, it proves that in football, creativity and mentality is the most important, more than just  match statistics. Chelsea and Bayern Munich both can proudly enter the finals simply because they are willing to take risk and put on different strategy in facing the most powerful team, as well as showing a strong mental and confidence.

The proves can be seen when both Real Madrid and Barcelona, despite showing their domination in the match, they kept on making mistakes due to frustration that finally become the advantage from the opponents.
