Valencia looking good, bring on Christmas!
Baraja's boys draw away at Inter and qualify but fall to defeat at home to Madrid, again without 11 men.

a month that I found hard to evaluate, a 1-1 draw away at Inter Milan was enough to Qualify for the CL knock-out stages, loss to Real Madrid with Adil Rami seeing red before 60 minute, a draw away at Levante and 94 minute winner against Rayo away sums up what has been a interesting month for Ruben Baraja to say the least.

Sofiane Feghouli was injured on international duty and will miss 3 months with a Hip injury. Doctors confirmed that Surgery would be needed.

Left Winger Pablo Piatti pulled his hamstring and will be sidelined for 6 weeks
"its fair to say that we should just call this section the injury section."

A 94th minute header from David Albelda of all people against Rayo was a big moment in the season so far and kept us on track for a top 4 finish.

18 year old Juan Bernat made his début in the Spanish cup game after recovering from 4 month sidelined with a dislocated shoulder

Capitan Adil Rami never fails to disappoint (Sarcasm) by being Dismissed in what could be one of the biggest games of the season at home to Real Madrid which sadly we lost 2-0 adding to the woahs! (just like against Barcelona if you remember Jordi Alba was dismissed)

Jordi Alba
Jonas had a good month again and would have been a close contender but Jordi was great this month mainly playing at left back but slot in at left midfield went needed and was terrific.
Did we meet monthly expectations?
*Stay in the top 4 of Liga BBVA (5th)
View attachment 248120
*Stay in the top 2 spots of the champions league (1st qualified)
View attachment 248119View attachment 248119 (Qualification deserves an extra tick)
*conceded less than 10 goals in the month (4 goals conceded)

Next month's aims
*get back into the top 4
*go unbeaten for the month
*score 20 goals or more
Ruben Baraja's comments
"I am delight to have qualified for the knock-out stages of the Champions League, Hard work and pure brilliance pays off, who do I hope for in the next round Man Utd or Man City. Why... I'm Ruben Baraja and I like to beat the best."
