Can I just start by expressing how happy I am that the site is back?? YAY!
O.K. back to the game.
I was blessed with the opportunity to watch the game twice. I must say, in the first half we really played FOOTBALL. Like really. Like you said, Higuain is really showing consistency for which I am glad 'cause he wasn't as dependable as last year.
I am soooo glad Ronaldo scored three goals!! And in like 14 minutes too

His first goal was like, you know, a "regular" Ronaldo goal. The second was still his type but the way he juked like three defenders was pretty cool. AH. But the last goal... did you see the way he flicked it?? Man.
The second half was, ahem, bad. I kinda wished Malaga scored so that Real would just wake up. The game wasn't over. If Iker hadn't made all those (5??) saves and two hadn't hit the woodwork, are goals would have meant nothing.
For me, being one point ahead of Barca doesn't mean much. It happened last year and we lost... big time. Even this year we were ahead and lost it. So, for me, being ahead doen't mean toooo much It's good but not as solid as say, 5 points. You know what I'm saying?
Side note: ManU were beaten 6-1 by their rivals, ManC. Are there any City fans here? My whole family (except my dad) absolutely adores Manu. If it was ManU vs OtherTeam (I kinda rebelliously) I go for OtherTeam. Even stoke.

Does any1 else feel that way?
