Carlos Henrique José Francisco Venâncio Casimiro had no right to end Napoli’s dreams like this. He had no right to hit this ball so well. Napoli had started the game well and were even first to score before a Karim Benzema header tied up the match. They got a pep talk from Diego Maradona at halftime and came out trying to do the improbable. To beat Real Madrid.

Soon they were down because of a Toni Kroos goal, which was still manageable, that is, until Casemiro decided that the Napoli players didn’t deserve happiness:
That’s not what you expect from a defensive midfielder. That’s the type of goal that Cristiano Ronaldo should be score. A hit that belongs to the type of players like his manager, Zinedine Zidane. Not a man who has scored a total of 13 goals in his career.
With that being said, goodness gracious, that’s a wonderful goal.
