Tottenham Disappointment


English team Tottenham failed to produce any goals today against Spanish team Real Madrid. Forward Emmanuel Adebayor was able to begin the game with a 1:0 lead against the Hotspurs, making a clean header into the net with assistance from Mesut Ozil before the fifth minute. The first half went on with out anymore goals, Madrid getting two yellow cards, Tottenham two yellows and an unfortunate red card given to Forward number 15, Peter Crouch. D

The second half started with a quick substitution for Tottenham, Jermaine Defoe entering the pitch replacing Rafael Van Der Vaart. After two more goals made by Real Madrid, Defoe earned a yellow card on the 74th minute. Adebayor was able to give himself a second goal, followed by a substitution for Madrid, bringing on Lassana Diarra for midfielder Sami Khedira. Angel Di Maria was able to drive in third goal before being taken off to make room for number 8, Kaka.

Before the Real Madrid substitution was made, Tottenham sub Defoe was given a yellow card making the Tottenham card count at four. Christiano Ronaldo was able to make the final goal on the 87th minute thanks to the assistance from Kaka, leaving the game less eventful up to the point were the referee had blown the final whistle.

Real Madrid 4:0 Tottenham Hotspurs

Tottenham shown they did not have the ability to keep up with the Spanish team or the UEFA Champions League, possibly unable to advance after they play at White Hart Lane. With Crouch taken off the field, Tottenham have even more disadvantages for this years Champions League title.

Real Madrid proved to be one of the best contenders for this years league victory, the Spanish team not only showing great offensive ability but fantastic defense. With FC Schalke 04 able to defeat Italian greats Inter Milan 2:5, as well tomorrows games featuring Chelsea vs. Manchester United and Barcelona vs. Shakhtar Donetsk, one can be sure to experience a fantastic UEFA Champion's League Final.
