Well the Champions league is back in action as of today, really best time of the month ::) and hoping for my Real Madrid to get cranking again as history shows.
It is the most titled team in Europe with 9 Champions, and most leagues in Spain with 31, however, due to the current media glut, and the envy of those trying to be No 1 (which we already are!) do not allow them to cast an open partial statement in their news.
No question other teams are doing better lately, but is understanble that NO team can win all the time. Credit should be given to those doing well lately but respect and admiration for history should be given to the GIANTS of the game, and when it comes to those ,there is only one KING, REAL MADRID.
Today April 5th, Real Madrid will take on the Tottenham Spurs at Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid, game time at 20h45 local time. The game will be televised in France on Canal +, yes!!! and for those without connection the internet can be useful , I use rojadirecta webpage here http://rojadirecta.es/
Today’s other game in the quarters will be Inter Milan ,the current European champions vs Schalke 04, where our former Captain Raul Gonzalez Blanco plays now due to our inefficient President Florentino Perez. This game is at same local time 20h45 in Milan, Italy.
Tomorrow the other two quarterfinalists will meet at same time 20h45, Barcelona vs Shakstar of Ukraine, and Chelsea vs Manchester United the English derby in Europe !
The Spanish King’s Cup or Copa del Rey will be play on April 20th at 21h30 local time between the Real Madrid and Barcelona at Mestalla, Valencia’s stadium.
The important Spanish league game between leader Barcelona and 2nd Real Madrid will be play April 16 at Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid at 22h.
So it could be that the two giants of Spanish football could play four times in the next month !! Something never done. Real Madrid is a bit out on the Liga behind by 8 points but has a good chance in the King’s Cup and Champions to win it all.
