Don't know if this has been posted or mentioned anywhere, apologies if so.

Absolute genius if you ask me.
 
Genius in the sense that it worked.. and quite beautifully. If he, or indeed Benzema had cocked it up.. with Madrid only 1-0 up at the time, it'd have been labelled pure arrogance/stupidity. But heh, winners make the rules.
 
It was posted elsewhere. As sublime as it was, I'd want my attacker to be shooting from there every time. The defender is not that far behind and it should be a routine finish.

Who knows though, it may be something they've practised in training.
 
Cue some absolute belm coming in to tell us it was 'nothing special, and only a backhell from 3 yards'.

True Del, but we're not Managers. We're supporters, and I want to see shit like that all the fucking time.
 
Salgado was one of the Sky studio pundits and, bearing in mind he knows Guti very well, said "crazy man, crazy player".

They went on to talk about Guti's "controversial" reputation and Salgado said if he had the same kind of mind as Raul, Guti could've been like Zidane.

I saw Beckham doing a "Team Mates" feature when he was still at Real, and he said Guti was the most skillfull.
 
I think it was brilliant, you watch footy for stuff like that. You can ask your 'what ifs' but the fact is it did come off and it looked frickin superb.
 
He was in complete control at all times, checked to see where his mate was, and knew EXACTLY what he was doing...

Brilliance.

Of course, I wouldn't disagree with that. Although I think it's slightly easier to make that call when:

a) it worked and
b) it's not your team

Mind you, I don't think we've got any players who can do that anyway, so I don't suppose it's ever likely to come up.
 
No, it was quite brilliant. I do think it seemed rehearsed, though. Or Benzema did incredibly well to anticipate it/hide his surprise.

Very rarely does something away from Liverpool give me any pleasure, but that goal is one of those very few moments.
 
Genius, because benzema was there to poke home, else it would be completely the opposite. (I bet he wasn't sure if anyone might able to get there)

We have seen many of these flicks in our team as well, just that there was no one to capitalize on these.
 
It was genius, but it was also awful school yard defending as I mentioned in the other thread, and YES that does detract from the magic of the moment.

The sauntering back from the the Deportivo player in the lower left throughout the video is ludicrous for a 4 on 4.
 
Although I still think Guti is a dickhead who dated a transvestite .... that piece of football was brilliant.

Love to see those type of things - makes watching football joyful.

Look carefully. He 100% checks before making the pass. He knew exactly where Benzema was.

Yeah was just going to post that, on the last replay from behind the goal you can see him clearly check over his shoulder.

Still brilliant though, you want to see inventiveness in football, he could have tucked it away and the goal would go down as just another rudimentary goal and be forgotten.

I think he's a tremendous player. Can't believe he's stayed there all this time.
 
Brilliant.

in a one on one the keeper stands a chance of making a save. Guti created a situation that couldn't be defended. Why couldn't we have taken cash + Guti for Alonso.
 
No the rumour of the Higuain offer would have been a way better option.

If we didn't take the option to sign Higuain in the deal then we're idiots.
