El Mundo
"Some matches are marked by specific moments and instances of sublime genius in which football can pass for a fine art and give extatic joy to 70,000 people. One can only kneel and drool after watching the sublime seven touch team effort that Cristiano, Kaka, Ozil and Benzema pulled off in a few seconds. Real were 1-0 up following and electric, unstoppable showcase of precision at 100 miles per hour that started in their half of the pitch and ended in their opponent's goal."
La Razon
"It was a one touch football effort carried out at stellar speed: Ozil, Cristiano, Kaka, Ozil, Benzema, Cristiano, goal. It was pure visual pleasure."
ABC
"It was the association of five greats in one touch football. When the ball reached Ozil Ajax were already dead. He precisely and exactly opened up the pitch and Benzema adjusted his pass perfectly for Cristiano to score."
El Pais
"Madrid earned their PhD. They sang an hymn to counterattacks, wrote the score for how to dominate, and pulled off something that anyone would find hard to define. Their first goal against Ajax deserved the Nobel Strategy Prize. Ozil, Kaka, Cristiano and Benzema syncronised their movements like chosen ones, playing first touch football at full speed until the Portuguese player finished it off. It is another option in football that, when carried out in such a symphonic way, proves to be as fascinating as it is demolishing."
Marca
"The effort was incredibly fast and amazingly precise. The changes in direction were electric in the one touch football display. All the team's forwards participated in the marvel -Cristiano, Kaka, Ozil and Benzema- and they all lived up to their reputations. Ronaldo scored a suave and elegant goal."
As
"The first goal was the ultimate counterattack. It was a marvelous display of one touch football that involved half the team and was finished off by Cristiano Ronaldo."
La Gazzetta dello Sport
"The 1-0 was a masterpiece of efficiency and high speed that was started by the Portuguese player serving the ball to Ozil. The German assisted Benzema and the striker, with speed, looked up and passed it to Ronaldo, who finished the effort off with his right foot."
De Telegraaf
"Real Madrid widely opened up Ajax's defence with a very fast effort. Cristiano Ronaldo finished it off with a precise shot."
The Guardian
"Madrid are rarely more dangerous than when they are being attacked and so it proved. Ajax blinked and missed them. A perfect counter-attack at astonishing speed opened the Ajax defence and opened the scoring. The ball was worked through Ronaldo, Kaká, Mezut Ozil, Benzema, and then back to Ronaldo, who came screeching into the area for a first time finish."
Uefa.com
"Momentum now with the hosts, the opener arrived in the 25th minute. Ronaldo turned in his eighth goal of the season following a flowing move in which the goalscorer fed Mesut Ozil, who in turn found Benzema to cross for the Portuguese to apply the finishing touch."
Espn.com
"With 25 minutes on the clock the hosts went ahead, and it was no more than just reward for an improved spell of possession. Kaka and Ozil combined well in the build-up, and after the ball was swept out to Benzema, the Frenchman delivered a perfect cross for Ronaldo to tuck home."
