One of the many reasons that I hate international break: injuries. Benz was the latest to succumb.

And Now Marcelo Is Broken

Today, for the second time this month, I found myself saying “JFC. You had ONE job, Atleti!” but what can you do? Congrats to Barca on their Copa Del Rey victory and to Arsenal for their FA Cup win. Meanwhile, back in Real Madrid Land, Marcelo is broken. Damn it.

Onward To The Semi-Finals! But First, Celta

::sings:: “Tomorrow! Tomorrow! We’ll know more tomorrow! The reveal of our semi-final opponent is only a day away!” :: (I’m not wearing the wig watishista Dollo, but the dog purse is under my desk. Sorry for the in joke, folks. Long story…).  We’re advanced to our fifth consecutive Champions League semi-final. Hooray! And tomorrow we’ll find out if we face Barcelona, Juventus or Bayern Munich.

Time For The Second Leg

Everyone seemed to be in good spirits today as they finished the last training session before meeting Atleti. A positive attitude is always a good sign.

Preparation For Atleti Continues Plus Talking With James and Raul

The team continued training as we get ready to face Atleti on Wednesday. I am so not looking forward to that match.

Right Back To Training

The boys got right back to training today as we prepare to meet Atleti on Wednesday.

Hands Up For Nivea

Hopefully this deeply dorky advert will take our minds (slightly) off the injuries to Gareth and Luka. Estimates at the moment are 2 weeks out for Bale and 5-6 for Modric. ARGH.

Anyhow, here’s Gareth, Marcelo, Dani & Isco for Nivea Men. The whole point of the ad is that the Invisible for Black & White combats stains on your shirt. So there you have it. Reminds me of the Sure commercials here in the US (here’s one from the 80s)
