The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 winger played against his former team, Los Blancos, and it brought a lot of memories back.
“It was emotional tonight,” Beckham said. “It was the first time I played against them since I left and every time I see the star for the club, the players for the club I played with, it brings back great memories.”
The English midfielder donned the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Captain-c8314’s armband in addition to manning the right wing for the Galaxy. However, during his 62 minutes in the field, he struggled to create chances for Los Galacticos along with his teammates.
The lone chance created by skipper was a 27-yard free-kick that beat his former teammate and goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815, all ends up only to ricochet off the right post.
While the Galaxy struggled to bring their first goal to the score line, the Madrid
giants had completed their scoring in a matter of 27 minutes, though, the goals came evenly on either side of the half time.
José Callejón opened the score sheet for Los Blancos in the 31 minute, and former Madrid reserves striker, Joselu, scored in his second appearance http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 the first-team jersey.

“At the end of the day, we always knew it was going to be a tall order trying to get a result against Real Madrid,” he said. “But we got a lot of young players out there, a lot of players who have not played against a Real Madrid team before.”
Cristman was the only Galaxy man to score for Bruce Arena and company, however, the goal was a mere consolation.
For Beckham, the week has been a whole new experience. Last Sunday, the Englishman was gifted with the birth of a daughter, Harper Seven. Playing against his former teammates now only added more glitter to an already eventful week.
