By Chris Wright
In which Real Madrid defender Raul Albiol uses every fibre of his physical being to prevent Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano’s goal-bound effort from trundling across the line…
What’s ‘by the skin of your teeth’ in Spanish?
For the record, Madrid eventually ran out as 1-0 winners thanks to a nifty goal from Karim Benzema…

the whole of the ball has to cross the whole of the line is the rule, so justice is served i guess!!
Brilliant defending
Don’t know what the Spanish would say, but I’m sure Mourinho thinks it was “por um pintelho”, i.e., by a pubic hair from crossing the line.
Great defending, but not successful. That’s a goal.
As someone who lives in spain (and a Barça fan), I’ll let you know what the general reaction is: in Madrid they say it’s not a goal, the rest of Spain says it is.
There was a funny video of some of the Valencia players arguing over training.
Absolutely fantastic to slide the whole of his body in and still be aware of where the ball is. Looked like another frantic, heated, messy performance though.
A for the effort
To The Yank and James, it’s the whole ball beyond the plane. Even if you see green, it’s not necessarily fully across the plane. It seems clear that the ball truly did not entirely pass the plane. Of course the rest of Spain says that – they don’t like the Galacticos – don’t see team as really Spanish – hence the country-wide favoritism towards Barca…
I wish u could do that in fifa 11
Awsome skill/luck, but if I was Howard Webb for a day, I’d given it as a goal…
It didn’t FULLY cross the line. He saved it.
