Pamatujete si ho? Mamardašvili je zeď z Gruzie, na kterou při loňském Euru v Německu při remíze 1:1 narazily české naděje. Služby čtyřiadvacetiletého gólman si už v předstihu za více než 30 milionů eur zamluvil Liverpool, kam se v létě přestěhuje.
Nyní o sobe bezmála dvoumetrový chlapík dal pořádně vědět v La Lize, kde dost možná napověděl o majiteli letošního titulu.
O záchranu bojující Valencie dorazila do Madridu a favorizovaný Real se mohl ujmout vedení ve 13. minutě z penalty, kterou zařídil faulovaný Kylian Mbappé.
Míč chňapl jeho hvězdný kolega Vinícius Junior. Fotoreportéři zachytili, jak se k němu přišoural Mamardašvili. Naklonil se k němu, dlaň přiložil k ústům a cosi mu špital.
A po utkání v báječné náladě vyprávěl.
„Měl jsem s ním debatu, po které jsem vyhrál 50 eur,“ vyloudil se na jeho zarostlé tváři úsměv, zatímco španělští novináři zírali. „Zeptal jsem se ho, jestli si chce na penaltu vsadil 50 eur. Odpověděl, že ano. A já vyhrál.“
Průpovídky útočníka Realu zjevně vykolejily. Penaltu zahrál mizerně. Placírkou, slabě, po zemi, pokus vůbec neumístil a Mamardašvili bez zásadnějších potíží ránu vyrazil.
„Měl by mi zaplatit, ale ještě to neudělal,“ křenila se jednička Valencie. Hosté se díky jeho zákroku dostali vzápětí do vedení. Real sice po půli srovnal z rohu, po němž se prosadil Vinícius. S kolegy ale mizel do kabin z rozpaky. Podle ESPN na brazilského nešťastníka někteří domácí fandové pískali.
O výhře Valencie 2:1 rozhodl v 95. minutě z brejku střídající Duro. Valencie se vzdálila sestupu, zvítězila na Realu po dlouhatánských 17 letech.Nejvýraznější podíl na madridské senzaci měl Mamardašvili. Zlikvidoval několik šancí, připsal si osm zákroků a byl vyhlášen mužem zápasu.
A ještě vydělal!
Vinícius se k sázce nijak nevyjádřil. Jen po utkání na sociálních sítích připomněl, že svým 104. gólem v dresu Realu vyrovnal krajana a předchůdce Ronalda. „Je čest dát stejný počet gólů jako můj idol. Přišel jsem sem jako kluk a on mi ukázal cestu.“
Neproměněnou penaltou i nečekanou porážkou si Real zkomplikoval pouť k titulu v La Lize. Z druhého fleku osm kol před koncem soutěže ztrácí na vedoucí Barcelonu čtyři body. A Real může být ještě rád, že největší rival v sobotu večer ztratil, když doma pouze 1:1 remizoval s Betisem.
„Těžký zápas. Víme, kde se ale zlepšit. Madrid se nikdy nevzdává, uvidíme se v Londýně,“ vzkázal Vinícius. Real míří do Anglie, v úterý rozehraje čtvrtfinále Ligy mistrů proti Arsenalu.

The reasons behind why Lionel Messi didn’t play during India tour

Over the course of three tightly scheduled days, the Argentine legend traveled across Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi, attracting massive crowds wherever he appeared. For a country where elite football icons are rarely seen in person, Messi's presence alone was enough to spark nationwide excitement.Rodrigo De Paul did this next to Lionel MessiIn Delhi, the atmosphere was electric. Thousands filled the stadium not to watch a match, but simply to witness Messi walk onto the pitch. Fans chanted his name as he greeted supporters, signed jerseys, kicked footballs into the stands, and spent time interacting with young players.The energy intensified when he appeared alongside Inter Miami teammates Luis Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul, turning the […]

"I was like, guys, I don't think it's saying what you think it's saying."Rapinoe added that, to her, the phrase sounded as if the team already doubted its own level.
