Reyes Clinches Title for Real Madrid, Beckham
What's this? A mention of David Beckham? Oh, the people will love that ever so much. Indeed, there is plenty of reason for Beckham supporters to rejoice. The most popular athlete in the world is enjoying one hell of a June and, fearing a departure from Spain without a single trophy before his move to LA, Becks has won a championship with European giant, Real Madrid on Sunday.
But here's the rub. Beckham, credited to varying degrees with sparking his club's championship run, was not on the field for any of Madrid's three goals in the 3-1 comeback win over Mallorca on the final day of the season. In fact, Beckham was subbed off for the eventual hero of the day, Jose Antonio Reyes, who scored the first of his two goals mere moments after coming on to the pitch.
In this clip, we see Reyes' second goal, a beauty that sent the home crowd into hysterics and clinched Real Madrid's 30th league title. After scoring, Reyes is mobbed by his teammates in a most homoerotic fashion. Do enjoy.
