Valencia was helped by a hopeless referee as they beat Real Madrid tonight. Odd decisions left and right until Real collapsed and took themselves out of the game with two red cards. Incredible high-speed play by Villa, Vicente and Aimar in attack for Valencia while the defence was good enough to hold Madrid (who were without Ronaldo and Baptista). Some excellent passing and solid defending, both goals coming from dead ball situations. Baraja hit a free kick and David Villa scored his 11th goal from a penalty in La Liga. Out of 11 tries.
I still don't think the defence is as assured as it was two years ago but an away win at the Bernabu is of course always something to cherish. No sign of Rufete, rumor (actually Pontus Kåmark) has it that he's out fo form. Angula had a decent game, nothing more, even if he had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside. Baraja and Albelda are looking closer to the players we remember from that glorious season 2003-2004.
