Up early and went to visit Billy from Australia at Punked Bike Shop where he’d slept overnight. Chatted for a while and then headed back to meet up with Anneli at bike shop. We went to the footy ground and bagged a couple of tickets for tonight’s sold out game against Cordoba from a tout outside. Then off to Limonera lake for lunch on the way back.

Lemonera Lake

I got a ticket ! Is it a golden one?
Down to the beach to watch the sunset and then off to watch the game which was crazy. It finished 4-3 to Cordoba in a game which saw Malaga dominant throughout but defensively inept as every time Cordoba broke they looked like scoring.

Even when the ref made them re-take a penalty they still scored.Two goals in the last three minutes made for a very exciting game even though most Malaga fans had already left.
It was only the next day when I checked to see if Ramos had been sacked that I realised that it was over two legs and that the aggregate score was 6-4. No wonder the Malaga fans were so unhappy.
