Fútbolita

What a great show the tifosi put on last night! Perhaps they couldn’t all contain their whistles when Ricky got hold of the ball, but they certainly showed their cuori che sono grandi (big hearts) nevertheless. On the pitch, it’s safe to say that Los Blancos played strikingly better than the first leg, even without the sadly missed Greaseano. Kaka is the Original San Siro homie so he knows the pitch inside out! Also, we were delighted to see The Pied Piper of Higuain in the starting line-up…bellezaaa. Benzema had a great night too, although we were prepared to call him the Circus Clown until he struck in the 29th minute. Kkk, for now… nous serons tranquilles!

“I am very happy with the welcoming I received. It means I did well during my stay in Milan. I want to do the same at Real Madrid in order to gain the same level of affection from their fans,” said Kaka (translates to : “Thank God they didn’t throw umbrellas at me.“)

Alas, despite numerous chances, El Pato’s beauty of a goal was disallowed. “I desperately wanted to score tonight, and to win, and I did that, but the referee cancelled out a perfectly good goal,” he said (watch the interview here). Eeee, quero apertar as bochechas!

Also… dans d’autres nouvelles …

Ei Yoaan! Quoi de neuf?!! It looks like the rain really worked in Bordeaux’s favour last night as they held Juventus to a 1-1 draw at home. Amauri’s Robin Hood bro, Iaquinta gave Juventus the lead in the second half but the visitors fought back in the 75th minute and Plašil shot from point-blank range to earn the visitors one point. So that explains Gourcuff’s facial expression above. What ever happened to his bright future at Milan, Galliani? He was dubbed the ‘young Zidane’ at one point….

“Never say never. I would gladly return (to Milan) all right,” said Gourcuff. “Unfortunately, the Rossoneri club’s strategy did not plan at the time of relying on young talent and for me there was no space.

“Now things have changed at Milan and there would be room for me, but unfortunately for them I’m now at Bordeaux.”
