Champions League is Upon Us
February 20th, 2007 by Javi B.In the past 2 league matches Real defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 through a David Beckham free kick and a Van Nistelrooy finishing header and drew to Betis in a 0-0 scoreless draw. The club is still suffering from a lack of goal scoring ability and is definitely missing Ronaldo, who scored 2 this weekend with Milan. Fortunately for Real, the other top teams are all struggling and they are still only 4 points from the top of the table.
Tonight is the night, the big night. A screwup tonight could provide for a long end to another failed season. On the other hand, a victory could provide some relief and hope for the remainder of the season. The oppenent, Bayern Munich is also struggling domestically and lies in fourth place in the Bundesliga. This first leg match is being played tonight (Tuesday, the 20th) at the Bernabeu.
