The Corner: Real Madrid Win and Draw

La Liga

Real Madrid vs Zaragoza November 4, 2012 3:00 am Philippine Time

The important thing is the win, I was thinking of that the whole time, but had to admit was a little upset when Cristiano Ronaldo's eight games scoring streak had to end. Real Madrid dominated the game but at first had never had that much chances. They had suffered a little with Xavi Alonso not playing having been suspended after getting his 5th yellow card their last La Liga games. Goals was from Higuain, Di Maria at the first half and Modric and Essien from the second half. Iker and the defense was key too, though Zaragosa was able to had some shots, Iker was there to saved it. Again, I'm happy with the Real Madrid win, and for consolation too, Barcelona's Messi didn't scored as well (though they won) and Atletico Madrid's Falcao didn't scored too (and they lost) so goals scoring still stand with Messi leading at 13, Cristiano with 11 and Falcao with 10. And also though still behind 8 points, Real Madrid was on third now and behind Atletico Madrid for 5 points. Long way to go. I hope Cristiano scores some goals again. (hahahe selfish me)

UEFA Champions League

Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund November 7, 2012 3:30 am Philippine Time

FT 2-2

A draw seems to be the fair result. Just the same, Real Madrid never had clear chances and was able to put it on a draw only to the last 87th minute through an Ozil free-kick (and it's astounding!) The 2 goals from Borussia was some lapses on defense, even one from an Own Goal from Arbeloa. But it's okay, the fact that we are only a point behind and still sits second on the group of death was just fine. Cristiano Ronaldo again did not find the net this time ( I thought he was well covered and defended) but a goal from Pepe was just great and Ozil's too. I like what Mou said at the press conference after the game, "if we were first at the group that's okay, if we are second, then that's problem to the first on the other groups'' hahaha!

I like it when Cristiano was on some news again this week. He had some interviews about the Ballon D Or, and again being just true to himself. he said he will vote for himself if he could to win the it. Haha exactly the opposite of what Iker said, but yeah we all have our own opinions. Also like what he said about Messi, how he respects him just like any other players and saying he don't mind playing with Messi if he'd come to Real and not Cristiano to Barcelona. Really he's the truest among the players and just have to respect that.

Can't wait for another game of ours!

Hala Madrid!!!
