Real Madrid Beat Sociadad... Narrowly and UEFA preview

Real Madrid had a perfect month, winning all their games in October and all they needed was one goal in the 9th minute from Higuain to seal it.
A good first half effort involving Gonzalo Higuain and Fabio Coentrao proved enough to help Real Madrid emerge from San Sebastian with a hard-earned 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad.



Enjoy the video of (mainly) first half highlights. (Catch it will it's still up there :p)

The second half gave Montanier's side a bit of hope as Real  relaxed and allowed its opponents more space. Real Sociedad showcased a more aggressive style and pressurised closer to attack.

The last seconds were tense as Sociedad pressed with all they had at least for a draw. Barca had already quashed their opponent 5-0 earlier in the day so a win was a MUST for Madrid. In the end one goal did the job. Real didn't play as well as they did in their last games nor did they score as many goals. But they accomplished the most important job in football; they won.

Random Moments of Perplexity and Ambiguity

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. After all, a picture speaks a thousand words.


Fun Fact: It took Ramos ten games to get his first yellow in La Liga (this season).



Who was your man of the match?

Real Madrid vs Lyon Preview
Real Madrid stats: Carvalho, Marcelo, Kaká and Arbeloa out on injuries; have never won at Lyon's home; won all their games in October
Lyon stats: Bastos, Jeremy Pied and Lisandro Lopez out on injures. Aly Cissokho is still in doubt. Lyon won in their last match vs St Etienne.
