And so it begins...
I was really hoping to start my blog with my favourite Soccer club- Real Madrid FC winning the first round champions league match.But then it was not so.Lyon won emphatically against Real Madrid(3-0).
Infact yesterday night I felt glad after watching 'Salaam Namaste'.I would rate it as the best one I have seen in the past few days(which includes Mangal Pandey,Madagascar,Anbe Aruyire and Totti Jaya).But my happiness did not last long, to be exact not more than 5 hrs or not after 2.55 a.m in the morning when Juninho of Lyon scored the first goal in 21st minute.I wouldn't give the credit to Carew for caressing the ball on its way that caught the Real Madrid goal keeper Iker Cassilas in an awkward position to save it.The second goal was in 26th minute and again by a free kick by Juninho.Though I would not say that these two were great free kicks, credit should not be taken away from Juninho.Had the Real Madrid defence been bit more organised these two goals could have been avoided. The third goal is the one which I feel caught the real defence napping. Wiltord was the one who received the ball in the middle of the ground and then did some neat 1,2 exchanges and completed the move with a fine shot on goal.
In the second half Lyon stayed back and defended the three goal lead. Madrid had almost 65 % of possesion and they were not able to convert it into a goal, though there were some great chances for Raul and Baptista.
Though it was a bad defeat I didn't lose hope in Real madrid for the following reasons:
1. Robinho was brilliant. Some of his moves with raul were perfect and i would say raul was unlucky(or Lyon Goal keeper Coupet was great) to get a goal yesterday. Also things could improve when the team undergoes training together.
2. Ronaldo who didn't play yesterday could have made a difference. He could have linked well up with robinho.Also he could have muscled his way into the defence with some brilliant crosses from Beckham, which Robinho with his stature was not able to do.
3. Sergio Remos and Iven Helguera have to play some more matches together or need more training playing together to understand each other in the centre of defence.
Last year Real lost similary against Bayer Leverkusen in the first match with a 3-0 but reached the last 16 stage.
Olympiakos will face Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu in two weeks time for a Champions league match.The next match in liga for Real Madrid is away at espanyol. Thought I dont have much expectations in this match , I would be happy for a draw.
Results from other matches played yesterday:
PSV 1-0 Schalke
Milan 3-1 Fenerbahçe
Olympiacos 1-3 Rosenborg
Betis 1-2 Liverpool
Chelsea 1-0 Anderlecht
Artmedia 0-1 Internazionale
Rangers 3-2 Porto
