Alonso’s gone all “Damn gurrrl, you’re marking me to death” in that photo but of course, everyone knows that if you shut him, Diarra (and probably Greasy Babe) down, you effectively pull out the life line that is Real Madrid’s attacking midfield. A few of you may think they play as if they’re training with clowns at Ciudad Real Madrid in Valdebebas but we assure you that it’s only a matter of time, and the only clown on the field is probably one of Potter Perez’s experiments.
Anyway, the Greaseano is back for real and this time, his irrepressible pride got in his way again – so he just had to score a brace against Marseille! Damn, cara, you just couldn’t give the ball to Higuain, could you? Gabriel Heinze (remember him?) tried his best to contain Greaseano but everyone knows that’s not possible. “I hit the ball well today, but it has nothing to do with the fact that the Champions League ball is different to that in La Liga. My touch was good. I’m happy with the two goals,” he declared.
Albiol netted in the other goal for Real and celebrated with a big smile on his face. Unfortunately, we weren’t treated to another one of the classic Raul/Morientes Meet Again sequences, which would’ve been sweet otherwise.
