The Weekend Just Keeps Getting Better (Part 2)

What a great Saturday. I beat my personal best time and came second on my series of 50 butterfly at a regional swimming championships. But, more importantly, Barça hammered Real Madrid 0 - 3 at the Bernabeu with that magician Ronaldinho scoring twice, dribbling past Madrid defenders at will. A perfect day, perhaps slightly spoilt by Sevilla beating Real Betis, the left-wing team in Seville. Still, a great weekend!

The Guardian reckons some Madrid fans applauded Ronaldinho's goal. Is that true?

Did any of them go as far as to salute Eto'o? ;0)

That seems to be true, John. Some Madrid fans applauded Ronaldinho's second goal.
Actually I didn't watch the match because I was attending a Bloc Party gig. But I guess everybody in Catalonia knows by now that Barça won Real Madrid.

Everybody in my office, even football haters, certainly know. I made sure of that...

And I received text messages from a fellow Counagoite AS IT HAPPENED!

Btw, congrats on the swimming success Jordi. Are you Olympics bound now?

It is true - watched the match on tellie and pictures showed Real fans (not all of them, it has to be said) standing up and applauding Ronaldinho after the second of his two brilliant goals.

Hi John thanks for the congrats on the swimming. Well, I don't think Michael Phelps or Ian Thorpe will lose any sleep... And re. football I'm amazed myself that Barça was applauded at the Bernabeu. A tricky one, because I'd hate to admit that Real Madrid fans have a sense of fair-play and sportmanship!
