The Bayern shot-stopper and Germany captain suffered the injury while trying unsuccessfully to stop Cristiano Ronaldo netting his third goal in the 109th minute at the Bernabeu as defending holders Real won 4-2 after extra-time on Tuesday. "It's something that I've struggled to do over the last three or four years".
You give yourself far more chance of getting dodgy penalties if your players spend a lot of time in the opposing team's penalty area; you give yourself a lot more chance of scoring offside goals if you put a lot of crosses into the middle; you give yourself a lot more chance of scoring in the last few minutes if you are attacking in the last few minutes.
After we went 2-1 up and with 11 players, we were in great mental shape and then we had the wind taken out of our sails.
To score six goals against a team like Bayern Munich isnt easy so we deserved to go through, the Portuguese striker told Spanish TV station Antena 3. He netted again from inside the area after a breakaway in the 110th to secure his club a place in the semifinals of the Champions League for the seventh straight season.
In addition to that, Bayern had key midfielder Arturo Vidal sent off after he received a yellow card for what was a perfectly timed tackle. With the season's second El Clasico on the horizon this coming Sunday, a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick powered Los Blancos into the UEFA Champions League semi-final round over Bayern Munich.
A fourth on the break from substitute Marco Asensio in the 112th minute completed a 6-3 aggregate win for the Spanish league leaders as former Real boss Carlo Ancelotti endured a miserable return to the Bernabeu.
What cost O'Reilly his job?
I think O'Reilly should move to CNN and have a new prime-time news program that will help boost the network's cable news ratings. The Times also named two women who did not sue O'Reilly but said they had been harassed by him.
"The big teams are Bayern, Barcelona, Real Madrid, especially in the financial aspect", he said.
He has played 39 games and scored 10 goals - a prolific return for a centre-back.
The goals have been just one element of a campaign where Ramos has been so understatedly influential, though.
"In the first half we had many opportunities and we could score a goal or two, also in the second half too".
"Mats Hummels is okay, he trained without problems", Ancelotti added."I will leave Jerome Boateng and Javi Martinez out because they continue to have minor problems".
But things quickly changed in two decisive games against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinals, when the star forward scored five goals to keep alive Madrid's hopes of retaining the trophy.
