games tonight in the 2ยบ night of the Champions League, with mixed
results.
Valencia CF played Rosenborg away at a ground the proved to
be a "nightmare". So much so, that the wind was knocked out
of the Valencia sail by Rosenborg who won 2-0.
A serious set back for the Spaniards who now have to secure that they
win their remaining Group games, as they face the uncertainty of
not qualifying for the next round.
Rosenborg sank the Valencia ship in a matter of just 8 mins, with
goals from KONE in the 52th min & RISETH in the 60th.
Real Madrid faced Greek side Olympiakos to see who can breakaway
as leaders of their Group. Real Madrid started fantastically with a goal
from RAUL in the 2nd min. However, the mental lapses that have been
haunting Real returned & just 5 mins later GALLETI scored for the
Greeks ( Galleti pictured below celebrating his goal).
Then in the 12th min Greek player TOROSIDIS received the RED
CARD & left Olympiakos with 10 men. You may think that this was
the advantage that Real needed to "kill the game". Wrong!
Here began the drop in play from the Spaniards , confusing most as
they were playing worst then ever. Olympiakos player Djordjevic
was running riot & threatening constantly Real Madrid, until the
Greeks took the lead with a header from JULIO CESAR in the 46th
min. The crowd was stunned & could not believe what they were
seeing with the Greeks down with 10 men.
It looked like we were in for a surprise result , when ROBINHO
decided to put on a one man show. In the 67th min the Brazilian
drew the game with a clever in the area goal. He continued
"dancing" & "bicycling" until he put Real Madrid in front in the
82th min bringing the house down. However, the show continued
until a Robinho pass gave substitute BALBOA the chance to score
Real Madrid´s final & 4th goal in the 92th min.
A complete turn around. Real Madrid take the top spot in their
Group & are on the way to qualify for the next stage. Final
score 4 - 2.
Will Robinho go out tonight & celebrate? Tweet

the most exciting game I have seen since Higuain scored the last minute winning goal against espangnol last season.
Pretty good entertainment if you are a neutral - shortens your life expectancy a little of you are RM fan though.
Robinho played well, but Casillas won the game with the last minute save of an equaliser attempt in extra time.
....i have no nails today.
somone uploaded the youtube videos - you'll see the casillas save in the balboa goal
