Reyes the Saviour

WOW!... this morning's Madrid - Mallorca game was a real thriller in every sense... tak rugi tengok... even Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Rafael Nadal was there... and like me, they were all rooting for Real... I just wanted Beckham to win something before he leaves...

Real had to win this game to win La Liga, as Barcelona was running rampant in their game against Gimnastic... things did not look good from the get go... Real was soon trailing by a goal after the 1st half... and to make things worse, they lost van Nilsterooy, their top goal scorer early in the 1st half due to injury...

When Capello subbed Reyes for Beckham in the 2nd half, I thought he was crazy... Beckham was having a good game, managed to strike the goal post from a free kick from an insane angle... and come on... this was his last game in a Madrid jersey... however that move turned out to be a stroke of genius as Reyes scored Real's 1st and 3rd goal... after Real's 1st goal... the flood gates just opened and everything just turned around... final score Real Madrid 3 - Mallorca 1... and even though Beckham did not finish the game... he got his standing ovation... and leaves Real with a La Liga title under his belt... finally :)
