Real Madrid vs Villarreal, Real Sociedad, and the Tale of the Three Forgotten

Real Madrid vs Villarreal Match Summary



Btw, Cris does celebrate with his teamates

It took just thirty minutes of brilliant football for Real to finish off Villarreal. The goals from Benz, Kaka, and Di Maria were enough to secure the three points.

Real Madrid vs Malaga {RECAP}

Real Madrid beat Malaga 4-0 thanks to 45 minutes of pure football. Cristiano and Higuain were the sole owners of the score sheet with Ronaldo racking up a hatrick.



Real vs Malaga

Real Madrid fire four bullets past Lyon and take home three points

Real Madrid cruised to a  4-0 victory over Lyon in the Champions League after a dominant display at the Bernabeu with 63% of the ball at the final whistle. Possession was not all they had. They had goals as well...




Benzema is back! He started shower of goals in the 18th minute giving Real the only goal of the 1rst half. Benz is really becoming a thorn in the flesh of his former side. That goal came thanks to a brilliant corner by Ozil and a (spectacular) glancing header by Ronaldo. Ramos tried to claim the goal (all in good fun) as he attempted to poke the ball into the net. Bezema had him beat though.

Happy Birthday Özil !!


With today being his birthday, some really cute pictures have been circling the web. Below are a few pictures and captions.


Does any other synonym for "cute" besides "simply adorable" come to mind?







Real Madrid Beat Betis (The battle of the Reals)

Here are the stakes before going into the game:

Jose Mourinho hasn't lost a single game in October in the last seven years.


Cristiano Ronaldo could make his 100th appearance with Real Madrid.


In the First Division, Betis, along with Sporting and Granada, have yet to concede a goal to Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano will be looking forward to breaking that record no doubt.

Mesut Ozil's 23rd birthday. That says it all.

Real vs Betis Preview

Contrary to what I feared, Cristiano IS fit and (according to Mou) he WILL play tomorrow. Higuaín, di María, Marcelo and Varane also rejoined the squad again from international duties. According to RM'S website, Benzema, Coentrao, Di Maria and Pepe made the cut. We might also see Altintop play his first league game!

On a whole different topic, we now know who and when we'll play in the Copa Del Rey and that team is...

Ponferradina!
(Don't worry; we'll know more about them later ;)

Real Madrid to face Ponferradina in the Copa del Rey Last 16
Real Madrid will play its first game at El Toralin Stadium on December 13th.

So in summary, at 18:00 on Saturday, we will play (and hopefully beat) Real Betis. About two months later, we will start the Copa against Ponferradina. (who we will beat as well... I hope.)

Real Madrid's International Duty is Officially Over (YAY!)

There are two things I hate about international duty (league break). 1. It's a bore... unless you watch the national team games. 2. The players come back injured.

Luckily, this time, only two players are injured, namely: Cristiano Ronaldo and Raúl Albiol. On the brighter side of things, both Benz and Alonzo are back in training.

An already qualified  Spain beat Scotland 3-1 while  Germany (also already qualified) beat Belgium 3-1, with Mesut scoring a beautiful goal thanks to a pass from Sami.

Cristiano's late goal was a good but otherwise meaningless goal as Portugal lost 2-1 to Denmark. Turkey beat Azerbaijan 1 to nil. However, if both teams want to play in the Euro, they’ll have to win their playoff series; Portugal has to beat Bosnia-Herzegovina and Turkey, Croatia.

France’s U-21 team beat Romania 2-0 (Varane got to play the entire game!!).

Marcelo saved Brazil from an embarrassment against Mexico as he starred in the 2-1 victory scoring the second goal. (Comments on Neymar's behaviour later.)

So this pretty much sums up the international week. Countdown to Betis!

International duty, bans, hype, and side notes

International Schedule.

The players have quite a busy schedule ,no? Higuain and Di Maria will face Chile and Venezuela. Meanwhile, Marcelo and the Brazilian National Team will "friendly" against Costa Rica and Mexico. Off in France's U-21, Varane will probably be looking to carry on his excellent performances with Real against Kazakhstan and Romania. Khedira will face teammate Altintop in Istanbul. (The media is claming that "Ozil is making excuses over a knock he picked up in Real Madrid's 4-0 win over Espanyol in La Liga last weekend, in an attempt to avoid playing against his family's native country.") A few days later, Germany will host a match against Belgium.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal will be without "Cocentrao" (hopefully they will have concentration!) and Pepe as they  face important games against Iceland and Denmark. An already qualified Spain will face Czech Republic and four days later host the match again Scotland.  Last but not least, Turkey!! Altintop will face teammates Real Madrid teamates Ozil (well, maybe not) and Khedira, as well as Azerbaijan, in Istanbul.

The Two- Sided Mou

Real Madrid Bash Barcelona 4-0

O.K so the title is a bit misleading but Real did beat Barcelona Espanyol. After "the great race" and a meal of sorts(check it out), Real Madrid beat Espanyol 4-0. Gonzalo Higuaín had quite a night as completed his first hat-trick of the season ( he replaced Benzema who is out due to an injury concerning his left abductor). Ronaldo also made the headlines by making two (very unselfish) assists.

Jose Mourinho surprises players with barbecue

 All the Real Madrid players and  staff were joined together at barbecue party arranged by our dear coach, Jose Mourinho.  The players were expecting a double training session only to be surprised by drinks and a tasty selection of meats that "El Mister" had waiting for them. Besides the obvious reason of having the players grow closer and more united, it was probably also a good platform to clear media rumours about the team.
