So it appears Halloween hasn’t ended for Real Madrid who celebrated Cristiano’s 100th goal last night with Raul Albiol aka “el Enmascarado : The Masked One” (say it in a deep voice, if you will please).
Although he looked more like Batboy, Albiol is suffering from a facial injury but contributed to Madrid’s 2-0 win over Lyon last night (no sign of the club’s pink mascot, unfortunately). Of course, Cristiano stole the show with his two goals and indeed, you can sense some MEGA eye-rolling from the Barca camp right now! Here’s Benzema admitting that he felt “very sad” for his ex-teammates following their win.
It’s a case of Bittersweet for Bayern, as they received both good and bad news in last night’s 3-0 win over Napoli! As expected, Mario Gomez scored his first-half hat-trick for Bayern, which probably resulted in Mazzarri taking out his extra pack of cigarettes.
The bad news is that Bastian Schweinsteiger’s broken collarbone has left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth – especially since Die Roten consider him an incredibly crucial player.
“The players obviously tried to compensate for the loss of an injured team-mate, but Bastian is a very important player for us. If he needs an operation, then he will be out for a long time,” said coach Heynckes.
