A Real Mistake for Real Madrid

This weeks highlight from La Liga reinforces why it is important to pay attention to the Ref. As a player you have know what has been called by the man in the funny colored shirt, as is demonstrated in this clip.

Forty-eight seconds into the footage it becomes very apparent Real Madrid's celebration is premature.

Arjen Robben thought he had scored, when a large number of players ran to the corner to celebrate despite the fact that the linesman's flag was up and the referee had not awarded a goal. Real had been in an offside position. Getafe defender David Belenguer took a quick free kick to launch a four-against-two counter-attack that ended with a goal. This goal could ultimately comeback to haunt Real in the race to the title ... a crucial loss of points on this outcome.

The Reds Revenge for the FA Cup

The Reds bounced back from a stunning loss in the FA Cup to beat Serie A leader Inter Milan 2 - nil. The first goal was nice but Gerrard's goal was a masterpiece. A right footed rocket from 25 yds out that was a seeing eye worm burner into the lower 90, beating a diving goalie.
