This post is just the goals, with the normal ICYMI post coming a bit later, since if I put everything together, you could go out and get a cup of coffee in the time it would take to load everything!  So here we go, Madrid and their magnificent eight goals from last night, with each goal accompanied by a bit of the celebration that followed.

The team played so well last night, and really played as a team.  The passing was especially superb, no?

1-0, minute 6, Benzema.

Note the bicicletas and Mesut Özil once again opting to rub a head to celebrate.

2-0, minute 10, Özil.

Awww, look at the piña there.  Pepe always has to jump up on everyone.

3-0, minute 31, Benzema.

Handshakes, head pats, high fives and hand signals.

4-0, minute 45, Cristiano.

Note Cristiano sucking his thumb back there for Junior.  I never noticed, but Pepe and Karim’s shaved heads look a bit alike. 

5-0, minute 69, Benzema.

What a pass from Ángel di María and what a finish.  And as the Benz knows, that’s goal number three for him.  Chapeau.

6-0, minute 72, Cristiano.

Again, what a pass from Ángel di María.  Marcelo likes to jump in too.

7-0, minute 74, Cristiano.

The Benzema-Cristiano partnership is fantastic.  Not so fantastic – Cristiano’s attempt at something.  I don’t even know what he’s doing.  Maybe Sergio should give him some lessons on how to do proper somersaults. 

Kaká was at the game.  I think that’s all you need to know to draw a conclusion for this part of Cristiano’s celebration.

8-0, minute 89, Pedro León.

I love even numbers, so it was great that Madrid got one more goal in there, but I really wished that MFC could have scored.  The team did honor his effort in creating the goal in their celebration, though that hair pulling seems to have hurt MFC a bit.  Pepe, don’t be so rough!

A night to remember.
