El Clasico: Mezut Ozil

0 – 3

Lyon v Real Madrid
Replay: March 17 @ 9PM

Real Madrid just really dominated this match in their classic Spanish posssession style of football. They had way more chances than Lyon and we able to convert three of them. I guess they finally broke the record of never beating Lyon in a match, and it’s a first time since 2004 that they finally reached the Quarterfinals stage.

Cristiano Ronaldo did play after all but was not able to score a goal (I guess I’ll have more chances to see if this is true).

former Real Madrid legend & captain, Raul who is now playing for Schalke

With Schalke also advancing to the next round, I wonder if the two teams will get to play against each other. This would be a really interesting match, but my money would be on Raul’s Schalke :P

Real Madrid's Iker Casillas & Esteban Granero Hope For Schalke's Raul To Return To The Bernabeu

According to The Spoiler, he has only three teammates who like him. No surprise there. There have been rumors and rumblings that Sergio Ramos is looking to transfer to Premier League because of a tiff with CR7. And then there was this issue with Casillas' GF. Although I’d say he has at least four or maybe five friends in the team, they forgot to count Ozil and Kaka. CR7 may be a good player but is an ass. Apparently, they hate his guts so much that when he scores a goal and does his goal celebration thingy, to quote The Spoiler, “NO-ONE ELSE IS CELEBRATING WITH HIM”

So I did a little digging and here are some photos I found of his goal celebrations... most of what I found are of him celebrating alone...
