Guess who is one very happy person right now...no, well it's me. My team, the best damn team in the world (and shut it Barca fans, readers you should know by know who I support) are through to the final of the Copa Del Rey. This will be the first Madrid Barcelona cup final in over 20 years and not only that but both teams will play each other twice within 4 days. In La Liga (17 April) and Copa Del Rey (20 April). So you can guarantee it will be a tense but exciting week for sure.
So for those of you who didn't see the game here's what went down...
Real Madrid came into the 2nd leg of thier Copa Del Rey match against Sevilla with an advantage, having previously scored away to secure a 1-0 victory in the 1st leg. It was very important for them to win tonight to book a place in the final. It was a goaless first half, with chances from Benzema and Ronaldo and only really kicked into action in the second half. Ozil scored a fantastic goal in the 81st minute and straight away ran to the stands to celebrate with the fans. New boy on the block Adebayor scored his first goal for Real Madrid in injury time and a good cross from Lass and boy is he getting presents tonight (*wink wink*). The team practically had an orgy on the pitch with him, mind you I would've too.
So there you have it, we are in the final and I couldn't be happier. Well done boys and HALA MADRID
