The day after
the night before and it is still hard to believe what we witnessed at Dean
Court last night.
AFC
Bournemouth took on the might of Real Madrid and for a while held their own
against the Galacticos.
The Cherries
lined up against a strong Real Madrid team that included Cristano Ronaldo, Ozil
and Modric.

For forty
minutes the reds passed the ball well, closed down Madrid and looked to compete
with the La liga superstars.
A super
Ronaldo free kick opened the scoring on 22 minutes and it was met with applause
from around the ground.
Unfortunately
Brett Pitman picked up a knock after 27 minutes and was replaced by defender
Elliot Ward.
In truth
after Pitman came off we struggled to look like a threat going forward, but it
is hard to judge our players on this because of the strength of opposition.
A mistake by
Elphick let in Ronaldo who calmly scored his second, a corner a minute later
led to Khaderia tapping in a third.
A full team
change for Madrid at half time saw the likes of Di Maria, Higuain and Kaka enter
the fray.

Higuain
sprang the offside trap and scored a forth shortly after the break, which was then
added to by a good solo goal by Di Maria.
Then arguably
the pick of the goals was scored by Casemiro after a fantastic display of one
touch pass and move by Madrid.
Eddie Howe
made a succession of changes in the second half giving the full squad a run out.
The boys definitely
gave it their all and looked good during the game, I was particularly impressed
with Mohamed Coulibaly who will be sure to frighten defenders in the championship.
With the Madrid
game now over its time to concentrate on the build up to August 3rd
and three points against Charlton.
AFC
Bournemouth take on Portsmouth tomorrow night, let’s hope that the attendance
is high and we continue to get behind the team. Come on you Cherries.
Final score:
Cherries 0-6 Real Madrid
Attendance
11,772
