“Training”, 10.5.11.

Gifs shortened & resized from Con la Roja.

Excerpt -

And we also saw this fun exercise routine during the session, in which the boys leaped up with the help of the others behind them. It’s alright when it’s Santi and Jordi leaping and Puyol and Busquets supporting, but how many players would it take to get a Llorente or a Pepe up in the air? I think Pedro had a hard enough time with Piqué.

Excerpts from Sid Lowe’s SI Clásico Article

Cristiano Ronaldo:

On the morning of the semifinal second leg, the Madrid-based newspaper AS led with “Ronaldo: now or never.” Excuse me? Never? It is true that there is a sense that Ronaldo has not really dominated a huge game yet, but now or never? Ronaldo has won a Champions League before, scoring in the final (and missing his penalty). And, at 26, he will get other opportunities. On this occasion, Leo Messi once again performed better than him and there can surely be few now who cling to the argument that Ronaldo is better than Messi. According to Opta stats, over the four clásicos Messi scored three, Ronaldo two; Messi provided seven assists (without goals), Ronaldo none; and Messi completed 305 passes, Ronaldo 120. Messi is the best player in the world; Ronaldo may not even be the second best.

But to suggest this was his last chance is absurd. To dismiss him for what he did, partly a victim of a defensive approach, is equally unfair. He remains brilliant and, although it ended in elimination, what threat Madrid posed in the semifinal second leg largely came from Ronaldo: it was his dashing run that led to Gonzalo Higuaín’s “goal.” Similarly, while some saw petulance and foolishness in the first leg when he chased Barcelona’s players down, screeching after the ball, turning to berate his teammates for not following him, it showed desire and drive. Besides, had they forgotten the Copa del Rey final? Had they forgotten the almost brutal beauty in his goal? The colossal leap, the straight back, the power. A perfect cross and the perfect header.

Gerard Piqué, Xabi Alonso, Álvaro Arbeloa:

At the end of the second leg, Dani Alves accused Real Madrid or being bad losers, noting that after the Cup final Barcelona had congratulated Madrid and after the Champions League semifinal Madrid had not congratulated them back. Around about the same time Casillas was busy saying: “when a team beats you well, you shake their hands and say ‘well done’ but not when it’s like this.” Not everyone took him on his word, though — and the Spain coach Vicente del Bosque would have been particularly pleased. All the nastiness, all the bitterness, all the aggression, all the anger, all the disappointment, and as the final whistle at last went on this clásico series, Xabi Alonso and Álvaro Arbeloa approached the Barcelona players and shook their hands one by one. Just as Gerard Piqué had done after the Copa del Rey final.
