Team of the season: -
To draw parallels between the "Barcelona 2009" and "Barcelona 2015" now very fashionable. Six years ago, Josep Guardiola in the first season with Barça instilled wards "Tiki Taka" finally opened Messi and conquered the whole of Europe. Now, when rolling the ball around the perimeter of the field stopped working, Luis Enrique in the first season with "Barcelona" too revolutionary changed the team game. And did her best counterattacking planet. On the way to the final, "Barcelona" by turns destroyed champions of their countries - Cyprus, the Netherlands, France, England and Germany. And thanks in part to its counterattacking football. Three Messi - Suarez - Neymar tore defense of the strongest teams in Europe. And the finale with "Juventus" was no exception. The ability to catch the opponent on the gap between the lines, other than opening, clever play the pass, the maximum speed of the attacks - these qualities are largely provided "Barcelona" second treble in seven years.
Player of the season: -
Without belittling the merits the title of "Barcelona", which went through a whirlwind tournament race, I want to mention two players, which provided a fairy tale, "Juventus". The fact that at this level of the Statement declares Alvaro Morata , could think only incurable optimists. From "Real" it written off as illiquid, and in "Juventus" did not see it at the base. However, Alvaro won the competition in Llorente , and then began to score major balls. He distinguished himself in the home match with the "Real", repeated the trick at the "Santiago Bernabeu", moving Juve in the Champions League final. And in the game with "Barcelona" Morata scored again at the right time - after his goal, "Juventus" believe in themselves. And still reach the final of the Champions League would not have happened without Gianluigi Buffon . Goalkeeper "Old Lady" consistently went the distance and did not blunder once. His great players strained "Monaco", especially in the first match. He bombarded the "Real", trying to somehow translate the game into overtime in Madrid. At the end of Buffon for a long time alone against "Barcelona", pulling everything. If not for Gigi game in Berlin would lose interest in minute 30th.
Season Opening: -
11 years ago, "Port" and "Monaco" played Champions Cup in Gelsenkirchen. Now the path of the road severely dispersed teams, but this season, "dragons" and Monegasque first time in a long time once again showed his teeth in the Champions League. And they did it in a different style. "Port" Hulena Lopetegi showed himself very groovy and the team plays with vivid personality. Ricardo Quaresma , who was at the time quoted above Cristiano Ronaldo , has gained a second wind in T-shirt "dragons" - there was no use his limitless arsenal technology. Yasin Brahimi , who joined in the summer of "Granada", seriously added in skill, became spices in "Port" for the penalty and has already interested "Bavaria". It's just two individuals, and they have a lot of Lopetegi - by Danilo in the summer becomes a player "Real" to superbombardira Jackson Martinez ... If "Port" will not turn back on the road to the supermarket, waiting for the command the brightest future. If "Port" is betting on the attack and brightness, the "Monaco" is much more pragmatic. Leonardo Jardim schooled up to the limit of his players by betting on their strengths. In defense of Monegasques were great - just five goals conceded in the tournament. And their counter-attacking game model seriously strained all rivals - from the "Zenith" to "Juventus". Team gambling principality could go further quarterfinals, if not controversial penalty against Subasic in Turin.
Disappointment of the season
Disappointment was the performance of English clubs in general. This, together to the British stumbled on stage 1/8, do not have to see. Everyone - his reasons. "Arsenal" got burned again on individual errors and bad luck, "Manchester City" was not ready for the match with rivals high-end, "Chelsea" could not in a single game to confirm their intentions for the final. But the most disappointing "Liverpool". Even the loss of Luis Suarez does not justify the red - with players like Gerrard, Coutinho, Sterling , the team had to leave the group. However, the fall's reorganization in the "Liverpool", when everyone was trying to figure out how to play without Suarez, went red in harm. Wards Brendan Rodgers won only one match, and he - the "Ludogortsa" at the end of the game. But this is no longer remembered, and the arrival in Madrid for the match with "Real" second composition. What kind of ambitions can be discussed?
Goal of the season: -
Leo Messi is able to draw on a handkerchief so that all and only then, will discuss his goal. In the semifinal match with "Bavaria" to "Camp Nou" Argentinian just painted: the ball came into the box, so tortured Finta Boateng that poor man seated on the lawn, and chipped the ball over the released towards Neuer . Goal was Internet meme involving the defense of "Bavaria", which fell to the ground, if the cabinet.
Scorer of the season: -
"Miner" Luiz Adriano pokurazhitsya notably in the confrontation with BATE - and even stood in a row with Leo Messi , becoming the second player in Champions League history to score five goals per game. However, this achievement attacker "Miner" is to share with BATE defenders, who in a home game with the "Miner" (0: 7) appeared soft toys. Luiz Adriano scored with a relaxed, as if he were playing against players of Copacabana Beach. That player is not BATE knocks the ball from the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper will easily roll the ball into an empty net, the Belarusians will bring a penalty out of the blue - in such a situation can be arranged penta-trick. In Borisov Luiz Adriano BATE upset five times, and the match in the " Arena Lviv "put it in a piggy bank another three goals. It is a pity that more status against rivals Brazilian fold - not counting the matches against Belarus, Adriano scored only one goal in the gate "Port".
Audience interest of the season:-
All Champions League for CSKA held "behind closed doors". Scandal after the first match in Rome has reached such proportions that the red and blue was awarded the group stage without an audience. So the arrival of "Manchester City", "Bavaria" and "Roma" in Moscow, it is expected as a major football event last fall, has turned into a farce. However, even in such circumstances, CSKA was able to jump over your head - and snatched a draw from the British and Italians.
Humiliation of the season: -
No, we will not talk about BATE - are enough words about the failure of the Belarusian team. It is best to remember what a shock suffered "Roma" in the home match with "Bavaria". Munich guests made of Defense dzhallorossi chop and most brutal butcher gave Arjen Robben , he ripped to shreds on its edge Ashley Cole and twice disappointed Morgan De Sanctis . In fact, since the collapse of the match and started the season for the "Roma". First wards Rudi Garcia did not come from the group in the Champions League, and then with a huge creaking kept second place in Serie A.
Goalkeeper season: -
Champions League qualification is necessary to preserve at least for the emergence of such characters as Cosmin Moţi . Romanian defender "Ludogortsa" in a return match with "Steaua", where the stake was a trip to the Champions League, suddenly goalkeeper - removed the main goalkeeper of the Bulgarian team Vladislav Stoyanov . However, the gate Moţi felt like a fish in water. Taking a penalty from Pyrvulesku and Rype , Cosmin brought "Ludogorets" in the Champions League. The name of the goalkeeper, defender even wanted to name the podium at the stadium of the team - perhaps it will later. "Ludogorets" and in the group stage did not hit the dirt face. Bulgarians until the last claim to qualify from the group, almost won "Liverpool" at home and looked decent on the "Anfield", capitulating only in the end. If not invincible in the fall the "Real" in the last round, "Ludogorets" could even be in the spring phase of the Champions League.
The innovation of the season: -
From next season the Champions League just two undergo structural changes. The first place in the group stage of the Europa League to the winner - "Sevilla". Secondly, now the first basket will not be the strongest clubs in accordance with the UEFA rankings and Champions League top eight of the Old World. So it is safe to say that in the next season of "Zenith" is not skhlestnёtsya with "Chelsea" and "Barcelona." At least in the group.
