Tomorrow REAL MADRID CF will attempt to turn around a very difficult CHAMPIONS LEAGUE return tie against French team OLYMPIQUE LYON. The French won the home leg 1-0 & Madrid has to make sure that the visitors do not score & they win by at least 2 goals. This feat is not beyond the Spanish side that if anything has plenty of fire power upfront as the team is currently the highest goal scoring side in Europe.

To help serve them as an example, this year is the 50th anniversary of another great goal scoring REAL MADRID team which is legendary as the date 18th of May coincides with the European Cup match the many consider the “Greatest of all European Cup matches”. This date 50 years ago Real Madrid defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 in the Final to secured its 5th straight European Cup title.

Although this current Real Madrid team will have to go a long way to even get relatively close to the 1960 side they can take a leaf out of their book to find inspiration, the motivation & the winning spirit to get the job done tomorrow against Lyon. Let’s think that the spirit of the magnificent & possibly unrepeatable 1960 Real Madrid team will hover over the “Santiago Bernabeu Stadium” for the good of Spanish Football in its quest to reaffirm the local competition as the “Best League in the World”. Good luck!
