The week that was: European Adventure

We?re back with our bland and plain (NOT) version of ?The Week That Was?:- The European Adventure Big Ears Over the past two days (or past 2 nights if you?re in Asia), all of Europe?s top sides (no Liverpool then) were in action in the group stages of the prestigious Champions League, with varying degrees of success. Let?s take a look at some noteworthy results 1. Real Madrid 4 ? 0 FC Copenhagen: Real Madrid finally seemed to stir out of their Ozil induced misery and self pity as they ran out comfortable 4-0 victors against a youthful and highly inexperienced FC Copenhagen. Goals from Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria lifted the spirits of the Madrid side as they looked to overcome the twin disappointments of a 2nd consecutive defeat in the Madrid derby and the stark realization that they have bought the wrong Welshman. (for the uninitiated, the foremost Welshman still plays in North London, except in the Red &amp; White half of it). Angel Di Maria gave a particularly scintillating performance. Everything good seemed to flow through him with 2 goals and 1 beautiful beautiful ?rabona? assist for Ronaldo. Watching that ?rabona?assist is guaranteed to give you a rabona. (heh). While Ronaldo was his usual self, making super human leaps as he continues to prove that gravity has nothing on him. What Ancelloti would really have been happy would have been with the performance of Modric. Luka gave a superb performance at the heart of the mid field as he kept ticking things over and changed the direction of play with clever cross field passes. FC Copenhagen were never really in the game except for a header that was expertly saved by Modric on the goal line. One suspects they were very starstruck. Highlights
