Pre-Game Activities

“I can levitate the ball purely with the power of my mind.”

I wouldn’t put it past him. CR7 can do anything. The boys did some pre-match stretchies and had a general warm up getting ready for today’s match vs. PSG.

Are You Ready For Some Derbi Action?

I’m getting excited for the match – how about you? The players did a little warming up today in preparation for the big game.

Are You Ready?

Yeah, neither am I, but the big day is upon us! The team did their stretchies atop the hotel and we were treated to more behind the scenes goodies.

Stretchin’ As Art

Why is the week before vacation always the busiest at work?! I have a ton of meetings again today. Do they not realize how important a day this is?! I’ll have to make this first post quick and then try to do more updates later. Here’s a nice little report about today’s match in English.

Bringin’ It to Bayern & Albiolita At It Again

As the boys head out for the pre-match stretchies, it’s nice to see that some bromances remain intact. Sami & Mesut must be happy to be back home in Germany for a few days.

Stretchin’ At Valdebebas

This is a super drive by on my part as I’m off to get a haircut this morning, something I see Mou and Kaka decided to do as well. Looking good!

Pre-Valencia Stretchies, Sergio’s Back And Inappropriate Nando-ness

Oh Xabi, you’re so fine! You’re so fine, you blow my mind! Hey Xabi! Our very own GQMF posted Radiohead’s Creep on Twitter as his “Sunday morning tune.” Brilliant song from a brilliant band. Gotta disagree though Xabi, you are so fucking special and you so belong here. But perhaps you’re not feeling sorry for yourself this morning, just taunting El Pirata. If that’s the case, then have at it. I hope it provokes a full angst fit complete with posting of Animal Collective videos and links to esoteric poetry. A girl can dream, right?

This is going to be a mega quick drive by as I have to head off to Easter Brunch in 10 minutes.

Champions League Time Again!

Noted bromancing bad boy Pipita was looking mighty fine (and serious) as he went off to do the day’s training session. Whose heart will he break (or make) today? Such a player, our Pipa.

Stretchin’ in Pamplona

The weekend hungover photographer apparently went along for the trip as the weird angles are in play again. The team stretched in the garden of their hotel. I love Google Translate because this is how they phrased it: “Real Madrid took place in the gardens at the rear of the Hotel Muga Beloso session of face lifts.” Ah! Now it all makes sense – that’s how they keep looking so good!

Go Blancos Go! But First, Stretch A Bit

Our fine gentlemen left their hotel and headed off for pre-match stretchies before the game with APOEL this afternoon.
