referee

Rosetti is the number one on many a list, but not on ours. Rosetti too is great, but he too wasn't great enough. You never see Rosetti run and sure enough he often stands too far off, that way he puts a lot of trust in his assistants. Okay, his assistants are great too, every one was great, but Rosetti booked too often in this match. It was as if the great Rosetti was bored and had enough of it: hey you! play or I'll show you a card!

teams

Madrid have bought half of the Dutch national team, have bought half of every country's national team and still they can't win. This must be very frustrating. And a lot of Madrid players seem only good for one half.
Liverpool played as they always do and won.
