Real Madrid found the perfect tonic for their midweek Benayoun blues with a 2-0 win at Espanyol on Saturday.
Espanyol, full of energy and confidence having taken Barça's scalp just last week, fought hard to hold Real till just past the hour mark, but vicious challenge from Román Martínez brought down Guti just outside the box. The whistle blew and Guti dusted himself down and buried the resulting free-kick top left corner.
What makes the perfect goal? For some it is the culmination of a free-flowing attacking move that demonstrates gliding passing and movement. Take for instance 
Chelsea’s Didier Drogba is one of the game’s great enigmas. He can be utterly abject or almost unplayable, depending on the way the wind is blowing. 
Could go either way this one.
Some celebrities really want you to know that they like football. Perhaps supporting a team counteracts a perceived lack of masculinity. Or maybe it just enhances the manly traits that they already have. Either way, when certain ‘talents’ hit the big time they go out of their way to let their affiliations be known.
