...with more than a little help from Guti
#6 Karim Benzema
Deportivo v Real Madrid
29th January 2010
Now then, what's going on here? Quick break from a keeper's throw, standard. Slick passage of play down the left from Kaka, canny. Tidy ball through to Guti, nice. Good touch to tee himself up to slot past the keeper and...wo...er...hang on.
WHAT THE HELL HAS HE JUST DONE THERE? That's right, he's made a right tit of the covering defender and keeper, by impudently opting to back heel the ball, that's BACK HEEL the ball to Benzema - who just happens to know exactly what he's going to do - to tap in to an unguarded net. Utterly magical, and yet, AND YET (yes, we're liking the caps today), it wasn't even the best goal scored in Spain this weekend.
Oh, you'll just have wait a wee while for that one...
