Updates on Spain

As we all know (and if you didn't know) Real Madrid have won the Supercopa title with a 2-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu. The aggregate was 4-4, but because the goal difference win of Real Madrid was smaller than Barcelona's they able to claim their first title and win of the season. I couldn't watch the game, but from my twitter updates, Real Madrid were really putting on the pressure and Barcelona were really off their game. Even though Valdes probably caused Barcelona the title due to the last game mistake, he made a lot of saves and good ones too to keep Barcelona in the running. All goals from Higuain, CR7, and Messi.

In other news, lots of stuff happened in Monaco today. First the Champions League groups have finally been draw! CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IS GOING TO START SOON! Below is a picture of the groups that will be played. Group D is considered the the death group or the group to watch. You have Real Madrid, Ajax, Manchester City, and Dortmund all of whom are the current winners of their own league. This is going to be the group to watch.

The other really important news that happened in Monaco today is the UEFA Best Player in Europe award was announced today. The top contestants were Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Andres Iniesta. And guess who won? No, not Messi or Ronaldo, but INIESTA! I'm sooooo happy that he won the award. If I were to choose the second person to get it, it would be Messi, but finally Iniesta won the award! He's being recognized for his AMAZING talent, and it's about time. Now we just have to wait and see who will win the Ballon d'Or this coming January. But then again that's a different story.
