In our painful 2-6 loss at the Bernabeu some years back, the image of Puyol kissing his captain's armband became a lasting image of the match. Last night, Sergio Ramos erased all that.
If my memory serves me correctly, this is the first time I've seen my beloved Real Madrid pretty much lose La Liga in December (or even before that). There have been worse Real Madrid sides in the past – that's for sure... but there hasn't been a better Barca side than this one. And when you put the 2 side-by-side each other in a league competition, the chasm between the 2 just grows larger and larger.
What a dissappointing weekend for for the Filipino sporting fan. I write this now merely hours after seeing Manny Pacquiao literally swallow straight right-handed punch to his chin c/o Juan Manuel Marquez in a loss that pretty much marks the watershed moment in the Pacman's career that spells its end or depending on how he plays his cards, spells the beginning of its end.
David Navarro is a thug. Thankfully, neither the pitch nor Levante's extensive practice of Football's 'Dark Arts' got in the way of getting 3 points tonight for us.
For some odd TV scheduling reason, by the time I switched the TV on at 4:30am this morning to watch Levante-Real Madrid, Atletico vs Getafe was still on (82').
Mallorca 0 – RealMadrid 5. A brace each from Pipita and Ronaldo with Callejon grabbing a late goal as a sub - Now that's a scoreline from last season's Real Madrid! The funny thing about last night however was the lineup didn't function like the Real Madrid of last season: there was no dynamic duo (Ronaldo + Marcelo) on the left side tearing up Mallorca's right flank and no German Tank in the midfield tearing their attacks apart and subtly knocking cracks onto their defense (Khedira).
Kaka was there and we half expected him to be in a Rossoneri jersey but against his former club
where a rumoured return hangs in the air, he showed a deft touch assisting in three goals. Angel Di
Maria got the crowd warmed up thumping in a magnificent 25 yard volley to open up proceedings.

Just a week after we started to fancy our Champions League odds by drawing APOEL Nicosia last

Tottenham and Liverpool are weighing up a summer move for Real Madrid forward Jose Callejon, according to reports in Italy. The 25-year-old has failed to establish himself as a regular at the Bernabeu under Jose Mourinho and is reportedly ready to consider a move away from the club if the situation does not change before the end of the season.
Real Madrid hosted Ajax in Spain for Matchday 6 of the group stage on Tuesday evening, and though Dortmund eventually ended up winning the group, the boys from Madrid took care of business in spectacular fashion.
It only took Ronaldo 12 minutes to get his side off the mark, after Karim Benzema got in behind Ajax's defense then comfortably slipped a ball into Ronaldo who had drifted to the penalty spot unmarked.

"I like the [Getafe] coach Luis Garcia. I like how organised his teams are and how he puts them
into practice. I admire his work." said Mourinho before the game. My wife and I have started to

Cristiano Ronaldo did not celebrate either of his first two goals of the season in Real Madrid's
3-0 win against Granada (video of the first here). After the match he made it clear that he did
this with purpose, but he also left a bit of mystery about it all as he refrained from getting too
specific.

Supercopa yesterday, and really, image of Marcelo doing an abruptly executed

Paging Nuri Sahin. Please return immediately to Real Madrid, do not stop at duty free to pick up
chocolate bonbons, board the next flight. We have a problem. Only one point against the also rans.
Luka may not do it.
Getafe's heroes were Juan Valera with a superbly placed header and then Abdel Barrada, the pick
of the Azulones, in a breakaway with Adrian Colunga, finishing with aplomb.
Perhaps we should clarify that Sergio Busquets was lying on the ground at the time but then if you
were playing the percentages, you probably would have already guessed that. Flat on the floor after
a foul by Xabi Alonso, Busquets was immediately given a reason to wish he'd managed to stay on his
feet [.
One of the oldest tricks in the 'How To Act Like A Footballer : For
Realz~!' book involves pretending to talk on the phone just to avoid awkward
situations. Granted, many players have their barbers and agents on speed dial, but it was pretty
obvious that Karim Benzema was talking to a beep tone in that photo above, just so
he would not have to roll down his car window, sign autographs and have fans catch a glimpse of his
limited-edition underwear from the Real Madrid store (yes, players do not get the
'extra' stuff for free, even as employees of the club!
It could be a long season for AC Milan if this friendly is anything to go by, Real Madrid
inspired by a resurgent Kaka hit the Italians for five last night at the Yankee stadium in their
pre-season friendly with goals from Di Maria, Ronaldo (2), Ramos and Callejon with Robinho grabbing
Milan's one and only consolation goal.
Meanwhile, over at Yankee Stadium, Real Madrid tore a few strips off AC Milan in a pre-season
friendly last night with Angel Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo (2), Sergio Ramos and Jose Callejon all
netting for the Spaniards (with Kaka weighing in with three assists) and Robinho scoring Milan's
one and only.

Real Madrid have once against set up their preseason training base at UCLA and while they're in
America, they've decided to try playing baseball. For some reason, they all decided to pitch
underhand, which was apparently just fine for Xabi Alonso, who teed off on one from Higuain.
Jose Callejon ran the wrong way after getting a hit and Iker Casillas held the bat like had no

Liverpool target Jose Callejon is not for sale this summer, according to the winger's
representative.
The 25-year-old joined Real Madrid from Espanyol last summer, but managed just five league starts
for the Spanish champions.
New Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers had been tipped to make a move for him as he seeks to bolster
his attacking options, but Callejon's agent Manuel Garcia Quilon believes Real Madrid would be
unwilling to sanction his departure this summer.

Real Madrid beat Mallorca 4-1 in their final match of the season to become the first club in
Europe's four biggest domestic leagues to reach 100 points for a season. After reaching such an
impressive milestone, the club held a lavish title celebration on the pitch at the Bernabeu that
was a cross between the final scene in Star Wars and the closing ceremony for the space
olympics.

Granada 2-2 Athletic Bilbao
A missed penalty kick denied Bilbao the chance at an away victory. Granada took a very early
lead but a Jaime Romero Gomez (also scored first goal) red card allowed Bilbao back into the
match.
APOEL's heroic Champions League run came to it's inevitable conclusion in the Bernabeu last
night, with Real Madrid adding to their comfortable 3-0 first-leg tally by blitzing their Cypriot
opponents on their own patch with a five-goal flurry several of which were bordering on indecently
beautiful.
The best moments came in the 67th minute and the 82nd minute when Gustavo Manduca and Esteban
Solari scored Apoel's goals. At the Santiago Bernabeu no less! Real played real spoilsports to this
David slayed Goliath story as Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace with Kaka, Callejon, and Angel Di

Sergio Busquets hit the ground early and often in the first leg of the Supercopa de Espana both
for good reasons and not so good reasons. In the 11th minute, he fell over a Xabi Alonso challenge
and found himself in a familiar position right in the line of fire for Jose Callejon, who blasted
the ball off Busquets' head from close range.
