Sorry for not posting in a while, just that my boyfriend has finally returned home after almost 3 months away and I have been spending most of my time with him! So havnt had too much time to play.
However I am into January on my game so I will now show how things have gone!
The Spanish Super Cup
So things began with a two legged cup final with the winner of the Spanish cup last year Barcelona. We have a really good record against them in finals and was hoping to add another trophy to my collection!
A solid draw at the Nou Camp then a fantastic home win as we won 3-1. Lopez Fernandez was the star away whilst David won man of the match in the home game to give us our first piece of silverware this year!
La Liga Table And Results
So were remain unbeaten but have just started to struggle to score goals! Three draws against Sevilla, Zaragoza and Atletico followed a good win at second placed Real Madrid.
All in all am very pleased with how things are going and even though we are not running away with the league like last year, we are on course to retain our la liga title.
So a 7 point lead over Real Madrid who seem to be our main rivals this year. We have defended so well (Which is rare for me to say!) but only 8 goals have been put past us! We have scored 40 times and remain top goal getters in the league.
Am confident that we can retain our title but have also set myself the goal of trying to go unbeaten through a season! Will be tough but hopefully my side can do it!
The Champions League And Spanish Cup
We were given a fairly tricky group with both Juventus and Saint Etienne a good French team. We began with a soild 1-1 draw in Italy before beating both Zenit and St Etienne comfortably. We rounded things of by beating both Juve and Zenit to finish top of our group.
We meet Udinese another good Italian side but am fairly confident we can beat them over two legs and continue my long wait for the champions league.
The Spanish cup is still in the early stages but we will meet Las Palmas after beating Lorca 8-1 in total.
Player Ratings
So new club captain Castaignos continues to shine as our best performer so far followed by Luis Lopez Fernandez on an equal score. Weber has looked good in the handful of games I have played him in and Mazza is our new defensive leader!
Injuries have hit Aizpurua and Kramaric but they have recovered so should hopefully play a lot more games. David continues to be a real top finisher with 14 goals in 24 games.
And thats that!
I am sorry for delaying so long but with my boyfriend back now its hard to find time to play. I will continue with my story, but my posts will just be longer (time-wise) than the few day I usually post in.
My aim is still the champions league but we could also win all 4 trophies this year, which would be a first at the club! We are also on track to go unbeaten through the league again a feat that has never been done!
So we still have lots to play for, so I hope you keep following!
