The Draw for the next stage of the Champions League is out and Real Madrid have drawn Bayern Munich the first leg of the tie will take place Feb 21/22 at the Bernabeu with the return leg scheduled for 6/7 March. You can read reactions to the draw here. David Beckham said:
I'm happy with the draw. It will be a tough match, but I'm satisfied nevertheless. It will be a special game for me because it will make me remember the Champions League final I won against them when I was at United. I have a good feeling about this.Yesterday Real Madrid had their Christmas lunch - report and photos online here. Also in keeping with the Christmas spirit David Beckham and the rest of the Real Madrid football and Basketball first teams visited local hospitals to give presents to the sick children and brighten up their Christmas.Story here.
Finally, David Beckham commissioned Sacha Jaffri to create a painting represesenting different aspects of his life to be auctioned off for charity and it was sold last night for 125,000 pounds! Story here. Jaffri's had the following to say about Becks -
I thought David would be aloof and hard to get hold of but he was really approachable, warm and much more involved and enthusiastic than I thought he would be. I didn't really expect it but he was really co-operative. He got in touch to say, 'I think it's really cool and I want to help'. It was something that he really cared about.

Sounds like he expects to be around in Feb so maybe he won't leave in January! I hope not I hope he can stay :)

Well the press asked him what he thought of the draw - he couldn't say I don't care I won't be here could he?? That said, I don't think he will leave in January but I wouldn't read anything into what he said. Bayern Munich aren't the powerhouse they were I think Real Madrid will beat them and make the quarters, no sweat.

I hope you're right Syd. To be honest I don't know what kind of season Bayern Munich have been having but Robinho made it sound like they aren't at the top of their game.
As to whether he'll leave in January, I tend to think he will wait until next Summer he might negotiate a pre-contract...but who knows :)
