the last Round before the Xmas break & important to win in the
psychological area, so as to start well in the last half run for the title
in 2009
Big clash between REAL MADRID & VALENCIA CF where ARJEN
ROBBEN ( above) played a crucial role in his teams vitally important
1-0 victory. He drove "crazy" the Valencia defence & gave numerous
passes off goal, one which was the winner in the 2ºmin scored by
HIGUAIN who powered a brilliant "crack" shot home.
The above picture sees Higuaín celebrating & later in the 15th min
Van Dar Vaart, who had a great game, then hit the post!
However, Valencia CF slowly got back & by the early 2ºhalf had
Real Madrid in a defensive tactical stance with their goalkeeper
Iker Casillas stopping everything, specially from David Villa who was
trying everything.
Then just when Valencia had the possibility to get back, a terrible entry
onto Robben by defender Marchena saw him receive the Red Card & leave
Valencia with 10 men. This was a turning point as Real got back & began
to get chances they could´nt capitalise on.
End result a brave & vital Real Madrid victory that will do them a World
of good, & Valencia will certainly go home very disappointed.

The second game tonight between ESPANYOL & ATLETICO DE MADRID
finished with Atletico winning 2-3. MAXI RODRIGUEZ started things scoring
in the the 6th min. The strong Atletico forward line ( Aguero, Forlan, Simao
& Maxi) dominanted the game until the later part of the 1ºst half then
Espanyol began to fight back & find more chances of goal.
Those chances continued coming for Espanyol in the 2ºhalf as they equalized
via SERGIO SANCHEZ in the 57th min. The game then went "crazy" as both
sides had chances & Atletico were on the ropes. But then SERGIO AGUERO
did his magic in the 82th min to put Atletico ahead, & MAXI RODRIGUEZ
scored again for Atletico´s for their third goal in the 91st min. However,
Espanyol with pride managed another via VALDO in the last moment, but it
was all too late.

Atletico find themselves tonight 2ºnd on the league ladder with Villareal &
