The Champions are here!!!!

Real Madrid have shown in true spirit that they are the true champions of Europe, beating Manchester City 3-2 in there first champions league group stage match. The scoreline could have improved further in Real's favour if not for Joe Hart, who put up a great show. Real Madrid were dominating the game play right from the start with two superb tries from Cristiano Ronaldo in 10 mins. CR7 had a total of 10 attempts of which 7 were on target and one goal to show for it.

20 mins in the game Real were looking dangerous on the ball having almost 70% possession. Madrid got to the ball first and showed that they were here to win the trophy and not just play for the sake of it. This game play was new for the whites but the team showed great chemistry making 35 attempts for the goal compared to a mere 10 for City.
Ronaldo made fun at Kompany and Maicon , calling themselves 'defenders'. he cut them not once, not twice and not thrice but inumerable times, just showing thme his class and skill. Marcelo and Ronaldo linked so well on the flank, it was a beauty to see them play.

Mourinhio bought some major changes to the side with Ramos on the bench and no Ozil in midfield. It was a first start for new defender Varane who is a player in the France under 21 side. With a wide option in the midfield now for Real Madrid, Essien started his first match today with Modric and Ozil coming in later on in the match. Essien operated the midfield well and manoeuvring the Manchester city defence with precision.  The Madrid midfield is now stronger than ever with the arrival of Modric and Essien. Varena also showed promise as he stopped Tevez on several occasions and not allowing him to reach the ball.
With no goals to show till the 60 seconds it was inevitable that Real would would score but a nice counter caught the Real defence by surprise and putting the team 1-0 down but a superb strike from Marcelo brought the game alive. The 2nd goal for Manchester City coming at 85 mins, things looked dark for Real Madrid but a superb run by Angel Di Maria and and a brilliant shot from Benzema brought the game back to level. And the climax of the game a goal for Ronaldo just justified the 90 mins which preceded the strike.
In the end the better side came on top showing City that what it takes to be champions is compassion, spirit and the bravery to change the game.

HALA MADRID!!!

THE WORLD SEEMS UPSIDE DOWN!!!

Nothing seems right for the men in white, Ronaldo unhappy a scoring drought, two losses in the league and draw in the group of death. Real Madrid once again failed to find the net and against a team they haven't lost from for quite some time. now on 12th place Madrid will is 7 points behind Barcelona. This is not only disgraceful but also sad for the champions of last year.The only consolation for the fans will be if Madrid win their match on Tuesday and have a good start of the champions league or.......

And that's how we roll!!!

Not much to say, you should check out the highlights:

Real Madrid vs Grenada

Real Madrid will try today to get the first win in La Liga against Granada. The Andalusian team managed to avoid relegation last year, and they are currently tied with Mourinho's team after a loss against Rayo in the first fixture and a draw against Sevilla in the second.

Given that Granada shouldn't be a very hard team to beat, Mourinho could give some playing time to Michael Essien and Luka Modric. Both players need to feel well on the pitch, and this could be the perfect game for them. Furthermore, Real Madrid's next game will be in two weeks due to FIFA fixtures, so Mourinho might as well give Modric and Essien the starting spots since Croatia and Ghana might do it anyway. Xabi Alonso never gets any rest with Spain's National Team, so Mourinho should rest him today after the tough second game of the Supercup this past Wednesday.

The thing is Mourinho doesn't take that kind of decisions very often. He might prefer to not take any risks and start the players he feels more comfortable with so far and then introduce some substitutions. After all, Real Madrid really needs to beat Granada and not speculate.

Kaká is on the team's list, and according to Marca, Mourinho is happy with his performance in the training sessions so far. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. If Mourinho is that happy with him, why has he been on the stands for Real Madrid's past three games? It's true that the situation has changed now, and the Brazilian player might not leave Real Madrid until winter or even next summer, so Kaká might finally be on the bench today instead of watching the game from Bernabéu's stands. Will Mourinho trust him if the game doesn't go so well? It's probably too early to say that.

It'll also be interesting to see which striker Mourinho choses to start today. Higuaín has won his battle against Benzema so far, but he has also missed some very good chances. Benzema will need to start playing at his best if he doesn't want to lose the spot he earned last season. Since Granada will be a defensive-minded team, best choice would be Benzema, whose playmaking skills are certainly better than Higuaín's.

One way or another, Real Madrid will need to be completely focused on this game after the last success with the Supercup title if they don't want to end up losing three more points.

HALA MADRID!!!
