A Real Madrid fan speaks... The La Liga season got underway in perfect fashion for Los Merengues on Saturday, as they came from a goal down to secure a 2-1 win over cross-town rivals Atletico Madrid, and in the process gave new coach Bernd Schuster a triumphant start, and offered promises of a spectacular season for the reigning Spanish champions. Prior to the start of the match, Madrid veteran Raul flaunted the club's 30th league trophy in front of a sell out 80,000 crowd, to a standing ovation from the Bernabeu faithful. The celebrations were short lived, however, as in the very first minute, unmarked Argentine forward Sergio Aguero nodded in a corner deflected by Ruud van Nistelrooy. Less than 57 seconds had passed and the first goal of the match and the La Primera season had been scored, much to the woe of the current champions. Madrid however, stormed back in style, and the Merengue fans saw much of what they had witnessed towards the end of last season. Club captain Raul took 15 minutes to put the Spanish champions on level with their city rivals. Although Robinho played an important part, it was Madrid defender Sergio Ramos' cross that Raul headed past Atletico keeper Leo Franco, who remained rooted to the spot. >From then on, Madrid fans witnessed their side attacking with a sense of necessity, and the first half saw both sides continue to exhibit some superb end-to-end football, though it was Madrid who dominated. The crowd responded by getting behind the team out of raw joy and passion, and without a hint of the desperation that was seen last season. A 30th La Liga title has most definitely done a lot of good to everyone! After six defeats in pre-season warm ups and friendlies, the pressure was still on for the Whites to secure a win in their maiden game of the season, and with eight new signings of which only three were playing, it was Dutchman Wesley Sneijder who created some of the best chances for his side. The former Ajax player, dubbed Madrid's 'new Beckham', showed why he would be worth every bit of the reported 27 million euro the merengues paid, especially when he scored the winner after receiving a pass from midfielder Guti off a free kick. Over the last two games, he has shown that not only have Real Madrid found someone who can play quality 'box to box' football, but also deliver into the box with pin-point accuracy. And he is still improving! With ten minutes to spare and the home side ahead, Madrid continued to display fierce attacking football, something which the fans had missed during Fabio Capello's reign. Don Fabio, with all due respect (and he did engineer some sensational comebacks) has always shut shop in the final ten minutes if ahead. The Whites continued to threaten, and the fans responded in glee. Star striker Ruud van Nistelrooy was denied, having a close range shot blocked by Atleti keeper Franco, and Guti fired a free kick against the woodwork. The home side secured the first three points of the season, and did so in style, and against a team that could well make it into the top four. With the teams and the fans having done their bit, it was coach Bernd Schuster who finally chose to utter the right words, using the chance well to strike a note with their fans, and just ensure that nobody missed the way his boys approached the game - with a touch of liberation. He also resisted the temptation to hit back at critics, and that will only do good. Those very critics, instead of feeling alienated by the success, will find it easier to embrace it. That will help when the going gets tough, as it will during the course of a season. Overall, you could say that was an evening when everything went perfectly for Los Merengues.
