Tonight sees the debut for coach José Mourinho and several new players at our home turf, Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. The pressure isn't just on the new players to perform, we're fighting for the Bernabeu Trophy, which we have won in five consecutive years against the likes of Rosenborg, Sporting Lissabon, Partizan Beograd, Anderlecht and an all-star MLS team.

It doesn't seem like tonight will be any different. Club Atlético Penarol may be an uruguayan club with a big history, they aren't the international powerhouse they once were. Penarol are the champions of Uruguay but they haven't won a single match on an international level since 1987 in the Copa Libertadores.

Our competitor doesn't have any big names either, though names like Antonio Pacheco, Marcelo Sosa, Fabian Estoyanoff and Diego Alonso has had a past in Liga BBVA.

The match is less than seven hours away and is the remaining match before the season kicks off against Mallorca. It is expected that all three of Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso and Cristiano Ronaldo will see out 70 minutes, while youngsters Juanfran and Mateos has once again been selected for the squad.

Hope you guys don't mind that I went ahead to create the thread, I figured out with around six hours left we should have one up and running.

Sidenote: Were the new players going to be presented shortly before the match tonight?

Added another feature you might not notice, when clicking on the club logos, you'll be directed to the official club websites - I could change it to Wikipedia if people want quick link to the background stuff instead.

Is the Panarol rightback a love child of Javier Aguirre and Ezequiel Garay? :confused:
