Copa Del Rey Finals 2011

At last, they made it. Real Madrid have come out victorious in their El Classico match against Barcelona with 1-0 and guess who scored the goal? Ronaldo with a towering header from a Di Maria’s cross was enough to seal a precious Copa Del Victory. It was their 18^th time and more significantly, first silverware after 2007 league title. The match went to the extra time after both the team failed to score goals in the allotted 90 minutes of play. Pepe hit the crossbar before the half time and it was Madrid who were dominant in the first half. Second half belonged to Barcelona and a goal was ruled out from Pedro, due to offside. However, Real Madrid attacked in the extra time period and they got rewarded. It was Ronaldo’s second goal against Barcelona in his whole career and there may be still more to come from  him, as both the team will face again in the Champions League quarterfinals. 

Barcelona vs Real Madrid 2008-09

Barcelona came out as the best in the clash between its rival team Real Madrid. But, the scoring started only after 83th minute, where the Cameroonian, Eto’o, struck, breaking the resistance of Real’s defense. Then, it was all over when Lionel Messi scored his trademark goal in the stoppage time. But, the game witnessed many cards taken out from referee’s pocket. Obviously, there will be incidents like that. Madrid had 4 players booked while Barca had 3 for them including the goal scorer Samuel Eto’o and the goal keeper Victor Valdes.
