Match post: Real Madrid vs. Celta de Vigo, 21:30 local time

[flywoman]

Real Madrid lost the first leg 1-2, so they have to win this match in order to proceed to the next round of the Copa del Rey. And while I can't exactly post a Real Madrid match discussion on the fcbarcelona comm, if anyone else is watching the game today, feel free to comment here!

Two minutes into the game, CR7 has already scored off a strong kick from well outside the area!

I'm just happy Iker starts

They will advance for sure.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

I'm happy about Iker starting, too!

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Celta is defending rather well

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

for a moment it looked like Celta was determined to pass to Real players

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah... although Essien had a real howler of a defensive error early on.

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

he is not convincing me tbh. he was good at Chelsea but he is not la Liga type eally.

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

Ok, Madrid players are definitely faster than Celta's

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

It's very clear on this pitch under good conditions that RM is the superior team.

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

not surprising ... I don't know why people thought Real was going out today. They know how to get themselves together when it is needed even if the times are hard.

I am actually sure that United will loose in CL to them.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, but it should be an interesting game!

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

It will because United are strong and have geat squad ... yet, I don't see them winning with determined Real and they need this decima this season.

Nice assist from Modric, great goal by CR7

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

I'm not a fan of him but it was good.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Ow, that looked painful. I always get nervous when players are hit in the neck.

[burning-moon117.livejournal.com]

the first live game I'm caught from the beginning in awhile and it's a Real Madrid game. Rooting for Celta, but RM will probably go through

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Feel free to root for either team. I like your icon! The juxtaposition is kind of awesome.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Wait, what? The player who was "offside" wasn't involved in that play. Should have been a hat trick, no?

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

free kick on the edge of penalty box

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

lol, Cris let Sergio take that?

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

a mele? hmmmmmmm

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Oh boy, now the cards are coming out. And I thought that RM only brawled with Barcelona.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

1) offside

2) that is the butt-ugliest haircut I've seen on an RM player.

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

hell! poor guy!

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Oh shit. That looked bad.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

I'm glad they took Xabi Alonso off. Shouldn't mess around with a neck injury.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Pipita!!!!

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

If Celta could just score...

[burning-moon117.livejournal.com]

bye byr Sergio

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Annnnnnd Ramos is outta here.

[burning-moon117.livejournal.com]

These guys all need to calm down

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Could have been a straight red tbh.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

San Iker - amazing reflexes there

[elizaberglund.livejournal.com]

he did save them few times after the red

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

RM will end with 9 if they're not careful

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

LOOOOOOOOL. Well, I guess that Cris can celebrate however he wants after single-handedly keeping them in the Copa race.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Celta just didn't have it in them anymore to deal with that.

[flywoman.livejournal.com]

Hmm, with whom did Iker trade jerseys?

Final score: a definitive 4-0 after a hat trick from Cristiano Ronaldo and a long-awaited, last-minute goal by Sami Khedira.
