Tadic's magic turn at the Bernabeu
Dusan Tadic, Ajax's number 10, displayed what will go down as one of the best skills of the season at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid. A brutal Tadic turn.
The Ajax star is now 30 years old, a war veteran some may say - his career in Holland, the Premier League and the Serbian national team confirms this. On Tuesday night, against Casemiro, Tadic displayed the skill of his lifetime.
His turn on Casemiro immediately became one of the manoeuvers of the season. A delicious piece of skill which served to eliminate Casemiro and find Neres who also displayed his class.
He picked the ball up in midfield and with a few small, quick movements, left Casemiro for dead in a way that perhaps mimicked the skills of the great Zinedine Zidane himself. Tadic then found himself open and unmarked on the left-flank, where he found Neres who had flown in like a rocket.
March 5, 2019A play that wasted no time in going viral and came not long after Neres' own beautiful piece of skill to get past Carvajal. A kind of 'mini Joaquin'. All of this game in the first-half, in which Ajax managed to inflict a 2-0 lead over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. A lead which they would devastatingly extend by the end of the match.
