A high scoring match at the "Bernabau Stadium" tonight.
Local side REAL MADRID defeated DYNAMO KIEV by 5
goals to 1, in its EUROPEAN CUP - Champions League

& created spaces for the
Dynamo forwards.
A strong outside shot crashed
into Casillas & he could´nt hold it,
only to have MILEVSKYY scored
Dynamo´s only goal in 46mt of
the rebound.
Then in the 61mt, when Real´s defence was "unstable", RAUL scored a
smart goal ( stolen from a defender ) a gave the team calmness.
Raul had scored a nice header earlier in the 1º half , taking his
match tally to 2 GOAL s tonight.
Dynamo lost a man via a Red card - its goalkeeper - which lead
to the Van Nistelrooy penalty.
RESULTS & SCORERS:

SAVIOLA. MAN OF DEEP FAITH
Only a club like FC BARCELONA can say ..." you don´t enter in
our plans". JAVIER SAVIOLA, the Argentine International &
contracted player of Barça, has been loaned out to Monaco, Seville...
, is not wanted by the club & they cannot sell him.
He believes he can win a place in the side & does´nt want to move.
He has faith in hard work, persistence & some luck.
Today he has a small prize: he has been called up to form the squad
for this Sundays match against VALENCIA.
Here is the squad:
Valdés, Jorquera, Iniesta, Ronaldinho, Edmílson,
Belletti, Puyol, Gudjohnsen, Eto''o, Xavi, Giuly,
Saviola, Oleguer, Márquez, Messi, Zambrotta, Deco
& Van Bronckhorst.
Its unlikely that he will play, but faith can take you a long way. Tweet

REAL MADRID. GUTI RENEWS HIS CONTRACT
REAL MADRID´s 30 year old midfielder, "GUTI" has verbally
shut a deal with Pedja Mijatovic ( Football Director) & Ramon
Calderon (President) to renew & extend his current contract until
2010, according to "AS". This "seals" his future at the Bernabeu.
In SFS, personal opinion, Guti is one of Spain´s most overrated players,
average to say the least. ¿Would you have renewed him? Tweet
¿WHO IS OSCAR USTARI?
OSCAR USTARI.
Argentine
20 years old
1,84cm
Goalkeeper
Club Atletico Independiente
U/20 World Champion
Speciality: Stopping penalties.
Was sub goalkeeper (did´nt
play) Argentine Germany 2006
World Cup Squad.
Part of the Leo Messi generation.
According to "as" , both FC BARCELONA & ARSENAL have this
youngster under the microscope, & Barça is seriously thinking in
going after the young man. ¿Any SFS reader know him? Tweet
FERNANDO TORRES RENEWS WITH ATLETICO DE MADRID
After 7 years at ATLETICO DE MADRID , its star striker
FERNANDO TORRES has today renewed with the club another
2 years, until 2009. That´s the good news, the other way to look
at this , is the following: His "restriction clause" ( a contract clause
only in Spain, were any club that pays the stipulated amount literally
takes the player away to his team) goes down to 40,000,000€. That´s
within reach of many big clubs & does´nt secure his future at
Atletico.
Until then ,"THE KID" will dress the red /white jersey & hopefully
score some goals. Tweet

SPANISH FOOTBALL: DEPORTIVO DEFEATS VILLAREAL IN 1º MATCH OF ROUND 3
The only match played of Round 3 was played between
DEPORTIVO OF CORUÑA & VILLAREAL - match
corresponding to "LA LIGA" (Spanish 1º Division).
The outcome was a Deportivo victory over Villareal by a margen
of 2 goal to 0.
The player of the night was Depor´s CAPDEVILA (pictured below) who
scored twice (3 min & 66min), taking his side, provisionally , to the top
of the League ladder.
Villareal has not started well this new season & this could be due to
the low form of key players, who need to regain the spark.
Tomorrow the rest of the League matches will be played. Stay tuned. Tweet

CAÑIZARES 11 YEARS AT VALENCIA CF
Eccentric, outspoken, controversial, unlucky, loyal, leader...
these are just a few words that describe SANTIAGO
CAÑIZARES, veteran goalkeeper for VALENCIA C.F.
Its his "club birthday" with Valencia; 11 years at the club, &
they wish to prolong his stay with a 2 year contract.
Leave you with a video from a fan I found in "You Tube", although
not the BEST goalkeeper in the world, in my opinion, he is certainly
one of Spain´s & Europe´s finest & dedicated keepers.
