Premier League is clear— ⚡️🇧🇼 (@Priceless_Silva) August 7, 2020Sergio Ramos is to Real Madrid what Steven Gerrard was to Liverpool - someone who is absolutely irreplaceable as a player and a captain regardless of age and form. That aura on the pitch is absolutely invaluable— RF9 🇧🇷 (@SambaRole) August 7, 2020Real Madrid felt the void left by Ramos in the opening exchanges of the game, as Varane endured a horror moment in the lead up to the opening goal.German referee Felix Brych has been Real Madrid’s best player.

Much like the first goal, Varane was the culprit, as his shocking attempt to clear the ball was latched onto and buried by Jesus.Random Fact:In 231 games under Pep Guardiola, Manchester City have only had less possession than their opponent on nine occasions.— UtdArena (@utdarena) August 7, 2020Raphael Varane is the first outfield player across the last four seasons to make three errors leading to goals in a single #UCL campaign.Ouch. 😬 pic.twitter.com/UU1piHlWND— Squawka Football (@Squawka) August 7, 2020This game is the only real bad performance I can remember of Varane, and this man has been playing for us since forever.
