-- Kirkland4. Barca need shoring up at the backBarcelona will not compete with Madrid or the top teams in Europe until they can improve their defensive structure and eradicate individual errors from their game. It cost them against Inter and was once again their downfall at the Bernabeu. Sergio Busquets was beaten too easily by Kroos for Madrid's first goal. The Germany midfielder then freed Vinicius, and when Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved from the Brazilian, it was Benzema who was left all alone to open the scoring.
“We used to tell him the bus was leaving half an hour earlier. ” Pele and his teammates also became a fixture of New York nightlife, partying with celebrities like Mick Jagger and Liza Minnelli at Studio 54, as detailed in the 2006 documentary “Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos. ” Pele scored 64 goals in 106 games for the Cosmos, winning the NASL championship in his third and final season in 1977, by which point Franz Beckenbauer and Carlos Alberto had joined the team.
For the next Madrid goal, Eric Garcia deflected the ball into Vinicius' path when there was no apparent danger, and it was all too easy for Madrid from there. Barca's defence stood off and Valverde was able to drill home from outside the box. Garcia then gave a penalty away when he was caught flat-footed by Rodrygo late on, although Barca will point to a penalty that was not given for a Dani Carvajal challenge on Lewandowski. Barca will also lament untimely injuries to Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, but that does not explain the repeated mistakes and structural problems.

Large areas of the pitch were bereft of grass and the groundsman decided to spray paint the pitch green for the benefit of the CBS television cameras broadcasting the game. Pele scored a powerful header to snatch a 2-2 draw in front of a 22, 500-capacity crowd, with thousands of others reportedly turned away at the gates. But he left the pitch perturbed. “Pele came in and had this strange green stuff on his legs and he thought he’d caught some bloody disease! We had to explain to him it was paint, ” said Toye. The Cosmos began setting attendance records at grounds across the United States as tens of thousands of people flocked to see Pele. “Getting him through a crowd of people onto the team bus to get to the airport on time was a nightmare, ” recalled Toye.

” “It was a mob scene, ” remembers Toye. “The place was absolutely jam-packed. You could hardly move. It was just utter, overwhelming chaos. ” Days later, on June 15, 1975, Pele made his Cosmos debut against Dallas Tornado at the dilapidated Downing Stadium on Randall’s Island in New York’s East River. Broken bottles lay strewn on the pitch following a city-organized function the night before, said Toye, who remembers Cosmos coach Gordon Bradley brushing garbage off the stadium’s seats before the match.
The pursuit of Pele took Toye around the world, including to Jamaica, Brussels and Rome, with the Englishman recalling that the Brazilian required an “enormous amount of persuading. ” “At first he asked what the hell I was talking about, ” Toye, now 89, told AFP in September 2021, recalling his “win a country” pitch. “But finally, finally, finally we got him to understand fully what that meant and what he could do. It was an incredible chase, but it was worth it. ” Pele, suffering some financial difficulties back home, signed a three-year deal worth around $4.

Scored the crucial second goal and worked as hard as ever. Keeps making himself undroppable in big games. Fede Valverde top 3 in the world right now— Toni Kroos (@ToniKroos) October 16, 2022 WORST: Vinicius Junior. He wasn't bad by any means -- no Madrid player played really poorly -- but he wasn't quite at the high, decisive level we've come to expect from him in recent months, especially given that he was up against Sergi Roberto at right-back. BARCELONABEST: Ansu Fati. Ansu only came on in the 73rd minute but he provided more of a spark than of the Barca players that had started the match. Within minutes he had shown a desire to shoot from distance, fizzing an effort just wide, and then he produced a fine solo run to set up Barca's goal.
