Champions League QF: Real Madrid vs Tottenham Recap (2nd Leg)

1 – 0
Real Madrid vs Tottenham


It was very fast-paced match with both teams making quick counter attacks.  Tottenham actually had a lot of pretty close chances, giving Casillas quite a work out.  They even actually looked like the stronger team.  But in the end, what counts is not the “almost-made-it” shots or being the stronger team, what counts is who scored the most goals.

The only goal in the match was from CRonaldo’s longe range shot which goalie Heurelho Gomes blocked but couldn’t hold on to the ball.  Real now advances to the semis with final aggregate score of 6-0.  And yes, CRonaldo’s teammates do celebrate with him after all.  Good to know.

is he trying to start a fad of the Jose Rizal hair?

On an unrelated note… What was up with CRonaldo’s hair??
