Real Madrid seemingly enlisted the help of its entire club in its failed effort to defeat Patrice Evra and Juventus in the UEFA Champions League semifinals.
A Real Madrid ball boy trolled Evra on Wednesday during the 1-1 draw in the second leg of the teams’ semifinal series.
The hilarious moment came less than 10 minutes after Cristiano Ronaldo had given Real Madrid a slight edge over Juventus in the aggregate score-line. Evra wanted to return the ball to play quickly in the 32nd minute, but the ball boy had other ideas. The youngster’s early time-wasting antics momentarily frustrated Evra, but the veteran Juventus fullback kept his cool.

Real Madrid would have earned a place in the Champions League final if it preserved the lead, but Juventus striker Alvaro Morata scored the game-tying goal — against his former team — which overturned Real Madrid’s advantage for good.
Real Madrid’s defense of last season’s Champions League title ended in failure. The Spanish giant faces numerous questions about its future, but we suspect the ball boy’s place at the club is as secure as ever.
