¡Hala Madrid!

A perfect atmosphere ahead of the Champions League quarter-final first leg between Real Madrid & Tottenham Hotspur

Sorry for the lack of coverage from the closing stages of Sudamericano Sub-17. I have been away in Madrid for the last week and was unable to report on games. However I have some footage of the last few rounds of matches and will turn this into a final report/summary of the tournament shortly (as always based solely upon the games I have seen).

Whilst in Madrid I was able to visit Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on two occasions bearing witness to José Mourinho's first home defeat in nine years at the hands of Sporting Gijón as well as the emphatic Champions League quarter-final first leg victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Here are some pictures from what I decided was the best stadium I have ever watched football at...

A pre-match greeting from Ronaldo, the second time within 3 weeks I had the pleasure of O Fenômeno

The highly impressive Miguel de las Cuevas whose fine performance was rewarded with the only goal of the game

Gonzalo Higuaín's long-awaited return from injury

A young player with a lot of promise: Sergio Canales warms up alongside the more experienced Pepe
