Ligue des Champions : Brahimi et Gervinho ont brillé
Champion's League : Brahimi and Gervinho were absolutely brilliant
Lors de la première journée de la Ligue des Champions, deux anciens joueurs passés par le Festival International Espoirs se sont particulièrement distingués.
Le premier est Yacine Brahimi (France – 2010). Pour ses débuts dans cette compétition, l’international algérien de Porto a tout simplement marqué un triplé face au Bate Borisov (6-0). Yacine Brahimi a montré l’étendue de son talent notamment sur le second but où il a transpercé toute la défense adverse. Il conclura ensuite son festival par un superbe coup franc.
Le second joueur à avoir vraiment brillé est Gervinho (Côte d’Ivoire – 2007). L’attaquant de l’AS Roma a enchanté les supporters romains en inscrivant deux buts et en réalisant une passe décisive lors de la victoire des Giallorossi face au CSKA Moscou (5-1).
Dans les autres rencontres, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Pays-Bas – 2001) a marqué le but de l’égalisation pour Schalke 04 face à Chelsea (1-1). De son côté, Dennis Praet (Belgique – 2013) a permis à Anderlecht de repartir de Galatasaray avec le point du match nul en inscrivant le premier but de la rencontre (1-1).
Enfin, grâce notamment à un but de Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal – 2003) et de James Rodriguez (Colombie – 2011), le Real Madrid a balayé le FC Bâle (5-1).
