Real Madrid did their best last night but it wasnt meant to be. they played a good 1st 45 mins and continued their domination 10 mins after break. ronnie could have put Real in front if he hadnt taken too long to decide which way he was goin. but i understand hes tired and he has just recovered from his injury 2 weeks ago and had only a brief start last week. ruudtje should have done better than putting his header wide at the post coz that was a rare chance. i think Real deserve a draw after their fine display against a team that hasnt been beaten at home. sevilla were not as good as i thought they would be, missing passes and inconsistencies were present last night. Real should have taken chances earlier and got away with 2 goals ahead and instead letting their guard down and conceaded a goal after only leading sevilla for 3 mins. salgado was the culprit for letting kanoute stand on onside position and giving sevilla a surprise comeback. 2nd half was a bit slow with both teams unwilling to make any mistakes and properly made short passes that surely didnt work well. i have to admit Real played quite well last night and so sad they couldnt get the results wanted. capello finally, decided to continue with his 4-4-2 formation, unlike some ppl think, the formation suits well with the players esp david beckham whos familiar with it and it shows on his quality passes. i need to write bout his goal before i forgot and end this shit without giving my congrats to him. it was a totally breathtaking goal that i thought he inteded to drive in for his teammates at the near post. but he got a goal instead! and i am sure i was screaming like hell coz apart from the beauty of his goal, finally Real made somethin real in the game. however, they have to satisfy with 0 point and down to 3rd place. they must work harder this time and get 6 points from next matches, i hope they could. the pressure is mounting for Real to win a title and could start with la liga trophy after horrible drought for 3 yrs. the fans are upset with their poor achievement and demand Real players to give their best to win trophies this season. i hope next week we can see a better and stronger Real Madrid to win remaining matches in order to catch up with title contenders. they must concentrate hard and put everything aside. speaking of which, david beckham has yet to sign a contract extension with Real and no one on earth knows whats on his mind right now except his wife, victoria. ppl have stated their praise for former england captain after his outstanding display in champs league and last match against sevilla. but it all depends on capello whos goin to be his trusted army for this season. i think capello should consider drop raul for a match or two just to state that no one is untouchable in his squad. his performance has dipped once again and failed to made an impact yesterday in sevillas match. i say mr capello.....think bout your squad once more and reconsider his decision to sign jose reyes permanently coz hes doin no good in Real camp. he may be a talented young player but hes not that good for Real at this moment and needs a year or two to develop into a world class player. to be in this team, one needs to posses a briiliant piece of work and most importantly, professionalism. helguera and beck are two examplary players who have not said anything against capellos decision to omitt them from the squad. our praise for them!!!

The match started so promising for Real however after Beckham, making a rare league start because of the thigh injury to the preferred Jose Antonio Reyes, scored past Sevilla keeper Andres Palop with a freekick from the left in the 13th minute. (taken from espnstar.com)

this is so ridiculous! beck earned his place in last nights game against sevilla not bcoz of a new player who has just came in the squad pretending he knows everything and had his thigh injured for unspecified reasons last week; beckham was chosen based on his abilities, experiences and performances. whoever wrote this article doesnt exactly a fan of football and only think beck as a joke. well, my man my pray goes for you....
