One. Today is a day off, with training resuming Thursday in anticipation of Saturday’s game against the team that gave us Sergio Canales, Racing!
Hopefully though, we’ll get to see some players today at the presentation of a charity golf tournament organized by the Real Madrid Foundation for the benefit of foundations involved with Down’s Syndrome and West Syndrome.
Two. And as confirmed by Álvaro Arbeloa, our Pipa is finally on twitter (and racking up followers) although he hasn’t started tweeting yet (and as Álvaro said, there are a lot of things to do).
Three. Our battle for the Copa del Rey – the only major cup Iker lacks in his trophy cabinet – begins next Tuesday, on Oct. 26, at 20h in the Nueva Condomina. The second leg will be at the Bernabéu on Nov. 9 or 10.
Four. The Spanish U-19 team beat Lithuania 6-0 in the qualifying round of the U-19 Euro, with our canteranos scoring half of that tally – Pablo Sarabia netted two goals and Álvaro Morata one. Álex Fernández and Jesé Rodríguez also played in the game.
