REAL MADRID CF | RELIEF AS THE DRY GOAL DROUGHT FINALLY ENDS | REAL MADRID 6 DEPORTIVO 1 VIDEO GOALS

Spanish TV "Cuarto" via its Sports News section televised this afternoon this piece on how REAL MADRID finally broken their "Goal Drought spell" yesterday against Deportivo with a 6 - 1 victory. The news piece is in Spanish BUT it can be intuitively understood, apart from also seeing all the goals from last nights game.

To help out in the translation & catch the many ideas in the video, it basically goes like this:
1. Mourinho weeks back in a post-Champions game when asked about the lack of goals scoring said "They (goals) will come & someday some poor team will pay the consequence"

2. The post Deportivo interviews with the Real players say the same, they are happy & that the Coach was right , the goals would eventually come & tonight they did.

3. The news piece shows how RELIEF grows within the Real Madrid players as the goals flow during the match, especially Cristiano Ronaldo who finally scored & did so twice...

4. The word "Contento" = "Happy"

5. Check out the face of Real Madrid President Florentino Perez after shaking hands with mate & Deportivo President Lendoiro. Being a gentleman & very diplomatic, the Real Madrid President lets slip a "face" to someone that reveals that he was also "finally" happy.

SPANISH FOOTBALL | UJFALUSI TACKLE ANKLE INJURY ON MESSI | AT MADRID FC BARCELONA

The front cover of Spanish Sports daily "Marca" says it all with the title "CHILLING". The tackle from Atletico de Madrid player UJFALUSI on FC Barcelona forward LIONEL MESSI could have cracked the ankle of the player. The Czech player was obviously sent off with a Red Card & later apologized to Messi, but the debate is out on the street that this type of play needs to be seriously punished.

The debate has been going on since Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo also received his share of tackles aimed at his ankle. The respective Coaches, Mourinho & Guardiola, have been solicitating that the star players be protected more from the deliberate exercise of "wiping them out".

Although it is hard to believe that players deliberately go out onto the field to do damage to other players, the above image of the tackle is frightening. The above picture shows how Messi ´s ankle immediately swells & was taken off. The Barça player will undergo exploratory analysis today, but it is speculated that Messi will be out for about 3 weeks. Good news if you consider that he could have been out for the rest of the season.

The media is pressuring that Ujfalusi be given an exemplary sanction. Stay tuned!
