Game of two halves, as per the cliche. To be fair Levante just parked the bus, and it took the time to break them down. You could see the signs of that going into half time, not totally suprising then. They did have a good go of it through. The fact we ended up with an entire homegrown 11, and then Xavi mentioning it as credit to Van Gaal's vision, I may have got something in my eye. We need to do that more often. VV was totally amazing. Was bit of a rubbish penalty, but then the double save with it, wow. Iniesta = man of the match Leo's armband was just the most precious thing. So happy that Cesc got a goal, he needs to get his groove back and the playing style probably suited him more.
I watched the last half hour of Betis game, and Betis played quite well (bus parking but still) and Madrid just kind of fell apart in front of goal. Seems like Madrid have given up; and they might struggle because other teams are scenting blood in the water, like they can be beaten so we'll have a go too. Then Mou had a massive strop about it (because y'know we never play two games in a week), so all is right in the world. I'm kind of looking forward to the Madrid derby, should be an interesting game.
My other team won at that, so yeah a good weekend all round.
