Real Madrid 4-0 Spurs - Ronaldo :wub:
Game/Tie over. Real Madrid into the semi's now though. Without a doubt for me. Great play by Kaka, volley by Ronaldo and Gomes should save, but it goes underneath him. Bad times.

It would have made a difference if it was a defender.. A tall striker got sent off, it should have forced them to keep the ball more and played it about more, taking the main, central role off to make way for a striker was a silly decision from 'Arry. A late change for Defoe would have been more fitting, kept the score as it was for another 35 minutes and then bring Defoe on for the remainder of the game and go all out instead of going for it after 45 minutes.

Ronaldoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
Everyone knew the game plan with Crouch was to get it up to him to knock it down for VDV.
Hala Madrid! Ronaldo!!
RM 4-0 Spurs!!
Wilkins says Spurs don't deserve this spanking, but RM have dominated them for the whole game & defended atrociously. Greedybarndoor given two free headers, Ronaldo and Di Maria given as much time as they like and shoddy GKing for the last goal.

So Real are as good as Fulham.
I think your bias is getting in the way a bit here...
Don't forget they played for 75 mins with 10 men in one of the most fearsome stadiums in world football, up against some of the best players in the world and one of the best coaches in the world. They were always going to lose, but it was whether they could steal a goal here and take back a small defeat.
They don't deserve the spanking, but definitely deserve the defeat.
They've still defended dreadfully. We got dominated by Barca at the Nou Camp, but we defended well for 45 minutes and had a man sent off after an hour. Yet we deserved to get beat comfortably.
I'm not saying I expected them to do anything, just that they got beat 4-0 because that's what happens when you defend that badly, especially against a team of RM's quality.
We deserved to lose. We didn't create anything of note, and our defending, despite what Wilkins said, wasn't very good at all. The problem though came from midfield, as we failed to hold onto the ball for more than 5-10 seconds for the majority of the match before Madrid won it back, and this invited all the pressure onto our back four.
Don't make excuses about red cards costing us the game guys; we're not Arsenal, let's admit defeat gracefully.

By the way, in the Madrid v Tottenham game none of the scorers were Spanish, and in the Inter v Schalke game none of them were Italian nor German - unless you count Ranocchia's. Found it amusing because there were plenty of goals scored.
