David Beckham started and scored a fantastic goal with a 25 yard freekick to give Real Madrid an early lead but unfortunately Sevilla, who remain unbeaten at home, were able to equalise and in the 77th minute went ahead. I think a draw would have been a fairer result but football can be a frustrating game! The official match report and photos are online here and I have put the first few photos in the gallery. You can download a windows media player clip of the goal from http://www.realmadrid-ae.com/goals/sevilla0-madrid1.zip just right click on the link and select save target as, then unzip the file. It's an awesome goal.

David Beckham is going to be returning to Old Trafford to play for a Euopean XI coached by Marcello Lippi against Manchester United for a Jubilee charity match in March, all the details here. I am sure the Old Trafford faithful will give him a rousing Manchester reception! Thanks to <3 for posting about this, I appreciate all your news and photo contributions!

David Gill, Manchester United Chief Executive was quoted in teamtalk as saying -

"It is wonderful that David is coming back,"

"He was a very important factor in our success throughout the 1990s and early into the 2000s.

"He is one of the best players the club has had and it is great to have him back."

Finally, Becks was named as a "comeback kid with bouncebackability" in this article about the men of the week the article praises Becks last two performances and you can certainly add his outstanding play against Seville to the list!
