Almost inevitably, David Beckham scored on his return to the Real Madrid starting lineup following Fabio Capello’s U-turn over his prospects for the rest of the season. The Real coach went back on his vow to never play Beckham again before his move to LA Galaxy, and the change of heart paid off as the former England skipper found the net against Real Sociedad. The goal was a trademark free kick, although not one of his prettier efforts. The Mirror is now tipping Becks to become a central figure in the remainder of Real’s season.
