What a hero.

Lads with Rooney in the bad books and soccer players constantly involved in scandals check out this link from the Guardian. Great story.

I was watching it - Barca never looked like scoring, really.

Watched it too  and it was good to see a Spanish team able to defend as Osasuna did to Real later in the evening. I remember seeing him in the qualifiers for the World Cup and thought he was impressive but I have to admit I don't remember him in the tournament itself. Did he feature much?
Great story though yes. Not one the rags will feature I'm sure. Too positive.

I was just reading this article as i clicked into this thread! Great story. Sid raises an interesting point that it may just mean that Barca and Madrid won't walk every game this season, this weekend will tell a tale with Barca playing away to Atletico Madrid, which has been a bad fixture over the past few years.
