Real Madrid 2 - 3 AC Milan
Real Madrid midfielder Kaká failed to impress against his former club as AC Milan ran out 3-2 winners at the Santiago Bernabeu. The match was dominated by poor goalkeeping and poor defending, particularly on the side of Real Madrid.Watching the match, I was fortunate in being on the right end of the field again. Four of the five goals were scored on my end and I managed a few good shots. Above we see the Milan celebration of Andrea Pirlo's goal to level the score at 1-1.
Raul had previously put the home side up after hideous goalkeeping by Dida, dropping the ball at Raul's feet. My shots of Raul's celebration were not completely sharp, but this image captured the emotion of the first goal.
Alexandre Pato had the best of the second half, however, with two goals to go with a few missed opportunities. His celebrations came directly towards my corner which was directly below the Milan supporters' section. It was particularly difficult getting clean shots of the goal celebrations with half of the Madrid supporters in front of me yelling insults. This leads to another lesson to get as close as possible to the field to avoid having fans jump up in front of you.
Pato had an excellent opportunity to score the match winner with a matter of minutes remaining, but his attempt went over the bar. He redeemed himself a few minutes later though a practically identical situation and slotted home the 3-2 winner.
