The team arrived in Bilbao and are spending their pre-match time resting at the Silken Domine hotel.
At the hotel Fabio & Angel did the signing honors…
We’ve really got to win this one – Atleti is one up on Sociedad at the half. Villa scored, but then got injured – looks like a hamstring – and he was taken off. Luckily, he was able to walk off under his own steam.
Starting XI: López; Carvajal, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Xabi Alonso, Modric, Di María; Jese, Cristiano; Benzema.
THE BABY IS ON THE BENCH! HALA MADRID!

Am I the inly one who thinks Cristiano really rocks that beanie? I love that !
He looks great!
his affection for the beanie/snood is my favorite thing about him in the winter. i can’t get enough.
i want to know what was on cris’ phone that delighted fabio but confused/perplexed xabi.
Ahh! How I remember staying in the same hotel as them in Bilbao last year (my room was on the floor beneath them, I WASN’T). I spent a lovely hour waving to each and every one of them as i was sitting alone in the foyer and watching them going up and down in the glass elevators like gorgeous big Ken Dolls still in their boxes! By the way, they all waved back, even Mou!
Lucky you!
