As mentioned earlier, Fabio is over 44. And Silva is 40. That is, the combined age of the two is 84. But age is just a number for these two! Let’s talk about Silva first. He won 9 duels in the match, cleared the ball 7 times, and won the aerial duel 8 times. In other words, the legendary Brazilian center back took the breath away from the opponent throughout the match in the attacking third.

Thiago Silver in the fight for possession
The Dortmund forwards were still able to get past Silva more than once. But they could not shake the last obstacle, Fabio. At an age when he is supposed to retire and enjoy the game in front of the television, Fabio stood in front of the post with his chest raised and made three saves, two of which were diving saves. He also recovered the ball 8 times with 32 touches. These statistics alone show that these two disappointed Dortmund last night at the MetLife Stadium.
On the other hand, Monte’s center back legend Ramos seems to be one step above. Ramos was unique not only in defense, but also in attack. To be more precise, it was his goal that put the Mexican club in danger of losing to Champions League finalist Inter Milan. Ramos headed in a corner kick in the 25th minute of the match to give Monterrey the lead. Later, however, Inter equalized with a goal from Lautaro Martinez. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
