Madrid have become a team to fear or the La Liga has become dull, probably the latter considering that Madrid were knocked out early against A.S. Roma.

Congragulations to Madrid. Have to say i think Casillas was the best the most outstanding player in La Liga this season.

And they owe it all to a German Wink

Raul · Posted: Mon May 05, 2008 10:55 pm

Theyve never seriously challenged Real though, barca were the closest team for most of the season but like every year Villerreal have a very strong finish. Hopefully they manage to hold onto second place ahead of barca now.

El Classico tonight and as far as I know Barca have to do a guard of honour for the Real players, they had to do it a few years ago as well didnt they?

Yes. Like 20 years ago more or less.
Villarreal is officially second. Bar�a don't have the 3rd place granted yet Shocked

Quote:

Real Madrid have announced that they will end their season with a trip to Saudi Arabia to square off against local side Al-Nasr.

The friendly match is scheduled for the 20th May, in which Al-Nasr will pay tribute to their greatest ever striker, Majed Abdullah, who scored 533 goals for the club during a sparkling career in domestic Saudi football.

Abdullah, now a television pundit for ART, never received a proper sent off at the end of his career and the club are now ready to put things right with a testimonial for the player nicknamed the 'Arabian Pele', who is also the highest scorer in the history of the Saudi national team.

The two teams have previously met at the World Club Championships in 2000 - a game that was comfortably won by Madrid thanks to goals from Nicolas Anelka, Savio and Raul.

Madrid have a strong following in the region and there are sure to be thousands of long-distance Madridistas in attendance looking to celebrate the team's recent league title triumph - the 31st in their history.

Out of interest Sticky T why do you support Real Madrid?

Blimey, i must have said this a thousand times.

Back in 2002, my brother got a world cup sticker book. I read through it, and became fascinated by a few players. In particular, Luis Figo. I read more about football and footballers. My 3 favourite players were Figo, Raul and Roberto Carlos. I then started watching club football for the first time, and the obvious team to watch considering my 3 favourite players played for them, was Real Madrid.

Before then i'd never followed club football. I'd only watched a bit of international football. I loved playing football, but didn't really enjoy watching, and therefore didn't follow a club team - just England when we were in major tournaments.

So, Real Madrid are the team that got me into football. Before them i wasn't even a fan of football. Without them i wouldn't be here right now, and may not even be a football fan at all - letalone Liverpool.

I'm grateful, and owe them for opening my eyes to most amazing sport on earth.

Discovering Real Madrid, for someone who knew nothing about football at the time, left me in awe. It's an amazing club. When you aren't aware of what they've achieved, and read back from the players they've had, and what they club has done, you're constantly thinking wow, how can there be more. But there is, the history and success is phenomenal. I wasn't aware of that when i started following them at first, so it was a real treat.

As amazing as it sounds, before reading through that sticker book, i hadn't even heard of Real Madrid, so it was really amazing to discover something so great, that i'd never heard of before.

You should probably save that in a word document to save time writing it out in the future.
