Tuesday's game highlighted the need to sign a new striker, something which Mourinho has failed to address in his entire time at the club. Had Gonzalo Higuain converted an excellent early chance, things may have been oh so different. Karim Benzema did impress with a goal and an assist after coming on, but his contribution is also far too erratic, while the Portuguese has also been unable to identify a right-back, another weak link in the side. With Alvaro Arbeloa injured, midfielder Michael Essien started there on Tuesday. And he did well, but Madrid can do better - particularly in a Champions League semi-final.
