Yeslah.
Perfect display from our team. dunno which one to vote as motm. sahin, oezil, marcelo, kaka or our 'hatrick' boy benzema. all were goooood.

Motm is Kaka for me... Nobody picked up yellow card which is good news oso

is it just me or higuain are off-form?

motm for me is nuri sahin

local one got. uptown shah alam

Higuain is good against a team that deploys high offside trap, or capable of attacking because we'll be using him for his pace to breakthrough the offside trap or for long straight through balls. When you play him as a winger, surely he'll suffer. Plus Benzema is a much better player in terms of linking up with his team mates. So he's needed against a defensive team like APOEL.

Nuri Sahin is not that far away from being the man of the match. For me, it's Ozil, because he's playing in an unusual spot and doing better with whatever given to him. Sahin is our 3rd best player behind Benzema of course.

But both Kaka and Marcelo really made a difference. It's perfectly logic to start Coentrao given the absence of Xabi, but Mourinho could've subbed him earlier because there were no threat whatsoever from both side of the pitch. Sigh~


Seriously? Going there tomorrow. Actually I'm not that picky about this stuff, though original would be better
As long as I'm getting it, then I'm happy

good job sahin, good job! defence was solid.but guys..we got Osasuna next....hopefully we will not lose points before facing Barca.

after that Valencia and Atletico Mad....one game at a time...

Didn't catch the game but by the looks of it u guys annihilated apoel.
At least if we do get an all spanish UCL and EC, that'll shut the lips of some spanish bashing epl fanboys :cough: 99bieber :cough:

Actually, APOEL were much better in terms of positioning but they were also their biggest let down. It was very rare to see a yellow shirt in RM's penalty box. 0 attempt is not reflecting on how well Madrid contain them instead, it's because they don't have the guts to attack us. Had they tried, it could've been a different story.

That said, I'm not taking away anything from the importance of Kaka and Marcelo in the squad and how the team responded when they were pushed back by APOEL.

I really don't understand their hate towards the spanish side. They didn't even watch that much to critic, but somehow they'll manage to annoy us. Hahahah~ Let just leave them alone in their delusional world.


If (and this is a very big if) all the spanish contingent can march forward in Europe maybe we can see an all Spanish Final in both UCL and Europa. That would be great

i think the positioning of players during the last 20 minutes of the match was very nice..kaka roaming on the left flank n just waiting to feed to either ronaldo,marcelo or benzema which are all fast runner..

wait till RM face bayern munich, the king of europe

Guys i came across this news recently...

http://china-screen-news.com/2011/06/espn-...an-for-3-years/

ESPN STARSPORTS will b showing La Liga from next season onwards here in Malaysia ... So i guess we better prepared for plenty of delayed coverage as it will definitely clashes with EPL especially on weekdays matches.. Bodoh betul la... Oni positive from this is we will have studio analysis for matches ...

Oso Champions League coverage will switch to Astro Supersport starting next season... So we can watch 3 matches simultaneously...

clash ke?usually our league will play around 2-3 a.m or maybe 4-5 a.m

i just hope most of our games will be in hd la.

Weekdays matches will clash definitely.... Real n Barca matches normally kickoff a bit late 2-5 am normally.... So weekends should nt give big pblm since Astro Supersport 3 will be showing late EPL kickoffs.

if midweek game sure will clash
weekend game..not so much

but if the spanish fa serious about making the game earlier to attract more asian viewer (like bpl),
then sure clash

Wonder why Astro din get the rights.... 1 thing for sure is we will see less coverage of La Liga with ESPN Starsports....


Diff topic... Just watched Athletic's match against Schalke .... N their counterattacks were so fast n effective... Hoping they can do the same trick at Nou Camp this Sat....

The only pblm is they will only have less than 48 hrs rest b4 the game as Barca refused to play n Sunde early game...

Raul Gonzalez extends his European goal scoring records to 76 goals with a cracking 2nd goal against Bilbao.
Viva El Capitan~

Are you sure, haven't read it anywhere so far. Can you post the link of the source.

raul score rwice but still lose
lol

but bilbao is really good..hope they win UEL
