Real Madrid v Barcelona - Copa Del Rey Final

Guess who is one very happy person right now...no, well it's me. My team, the best damn team in the world (and shut it Barca fans, readers you should know by know who I support) are through to the final of the Copa Del Rey. This will be the first Madrid Barcelona cup final in over 20 years and not only that but both teams will play each other twice within 4 days. In La Liga (17 April) and Copa Del Rey (20 April). So you can guarantee it will be a tense but exciting week for sure.

So for those of you who didn't see the game here's what went down...

Real Madrid came into the 2nd leg of thier Copa Del Rey match against Sevilla with an advantage, having previously scored away to secure a 1-0 victory in the 1st leg. It was very important for them to win tonight to book a place in the final. It was a goaless first half, with chances from Benzema and Ronaldo and only really kicked into action in the second half. Ozil scored a fantastic goal in the 81st minute and straight away ran to the stands to celebrate with the fans. New boy on the block Adebayor scored his first goal for Real Madrid in injury time and a good cross from Lass and boy is he getting presents tonight (*wink wink*). The team practically had an orgy on the pitch with him, mind you I would've too.

So there you have it, we are in the final and I couldn't be happier. Well done boys and HALA MADRID

“We had to eliminate two finalists of last year, Atletico and Sevilla, and we deserve to be fighting for this title. It will be a very beautiful and exciting final. We have a thorn in the competition, but it will not be easy to win”

Raul Albiol - Guardian Angel In Black

This Real Madrid Sevilla game was really something eh? Bottles getting thrown at Iker, yellow cards getting passed out like candy. Real Madrid players Ramos (obviously), Ronaldo, Diarra, Arbeloa and Khedira all got yellows...better keep a clean slate next time boys.

And then there was this wonderful rescue from Albiol, from some angles it looks like the ball went in, other it was just on the line, not all the way over. Either way it was a fantastic effort, really proud of Raul. Bless his little cotton socks, he went for that ball like a fat kid would for the last twinkie on earth.

We <3 you Albiol.



Iker Casillas Bottle Hit At Sevilla Game

This makes me sick. To think that a football fan could throw a bottle, with the intention of hurting a player makes my stomach churn. What's worse is that this is a man who helped win the World Cup for your country...and this is how you thank him. Disgusting!!!

Whoever threw that bottle, your not a football fan, your a disgrace. Being a fan of football is about supporting and backing your club till the very end. But you must always respect opposing teams and thier players, there is no room for violence. It's fine to have a bit of banter and mock teams you may dislike, but intentionally trying to hurt an opposing teams player...sickening.

I may not like Barcelona, as I am a proud Madridsta, but I respect that team and its players and hope Barcelona fans would do the same for my team. Thank god Iker is not seriously injured, it couldv'e have been much, much worse.

Please! Never resort to violence, it isnt the answer.

Real Madrid v Sevilla Preview

Real Madrid and Sevilla have went head to head in the Copa Del Rey 26 times. Out of those Real has won 14, drawn 10 and lost 2. So basing tonight's match on previous results, Real has an advantage...but there's no point in looking in the past.

Sevilla have won the Copa twice over the last four seasons, including last year. Currently 4th in La Liga, this is team that Real will need to give there all against, because be certain Sevilla will still be able to taste the success from winning that Copa trophy last year and will want it again...very badly.

Let's pray Real win, not just for us fans, but for Jose Mourinho celebrating his 48th birthday tonight... Do you want to blow out your candles and make a wish now Jose?

Barcelona still top.

Barcelona held on to their position as kings of La Liga with a 4-1 victory over Villa Real. Messi, Xavi and Bojan all made the score sheet. With Messi scoring two goals which should come as a relief after 5 games with out scoring.

Real Madrid must beat Osauna to keep the fight going for the La Liga title and hope that Barca lose one of their remaining games.

Barca have still to play Sevilla, who many feel may be the team to defeat Barca.

All we can do is hope and pray =]
