The LA Liga Struggle Continues As Real Madrid Trashes Valencia 2 – 1

By


Real Madrid avoided a slip-up on Saturday in La Liga, beating Valencia 2-1 on a late goal from Marcelo.
Entering the day level on points with Barcelona atop the standings, Real looked headed for a win with Cristiano Ronaldo’s first-half goal. But a sick free kick goal from Dani Parejo with just under 10 minutes to go made it seem like the hosts would only get a point, but the Brazilian defender produced some late magic to lift his team to a vital win.
Riding that goal the entire match without creating much, Real conceded in the 82nd minute with this stunning strike from Parejo.
But just four minutes later, Marcelo cut inside down the left and fired home for the win.
And that is a massive result. A draw combined with a Barca win on Saturday would have seen Real down two points in the standings, with their campaign taking a big hit, but it comes up late as it does so often and keeps its hopes of winning the league alive and well.

Flaming June. The sun is out, the parks are full and the silly season is fully upon us. For football fans though it brings with it another dimension entirely - the imminent opening of the transfer window. Nobody waits until July 1, of course, before getting some of their deals in place as fans wait for news in fevered anticipation. “Most of the work is done’ said Jurgen Klopp on the last day of last season though the fruition of those labours has yet to materialise. Transfers are bright, new, shiny things. Hope personified in a smile, a shirt and a first interview.
