A Sad Start.

1-1

Real Madrid had a weak start this weekend, a tough match to start with Valencia. The team made a lot of attempts, several coming from Gonzalo Higuain and Ozil. Ronaldo was a shadow of his true power, he failed to produce any clear chances.

The Valencia defense was very strong, allowed very little opportunities. Madrid controlled quite a lot of the ball and played a very different patient game. But even the possession failed to help them find the net. The only goal for the whites game came in 10 mins by Gonzalo Higuain. The Real side had almost lacked the flair to score in the end with the only good scoring opportunity in the second half coming from a header by Gonzalo Higuain, which bounced of the post.

A new signing for Valencia was João Pereira who transferred from sporting Lisbon this summer, the Portuguese national played a good game and would be anew face to watch out for.Valencia who came 3rd last year stopped Madrid from taking three points again, last year also the season ended with a 0-0 draw against them.

The problem lies in the 2 point lead which Barcelona have got beating Real Sociadad 5-1, with Messi scoring twice. It was a good show, by some new names in the starting 11, Iniesta didn't play, Fabregas started the match on the field, Jordi Alba also had his first game with a great show from Tello.
