Anfield spectacular leaves Real routed in record style

Yesterday night, for five year consecutive, the Liverpool FC got the pass to the quarters of final of the Champions league beating the Real Madrid in Anfield.

The English team played a spectacular first time and in the first thirty minutes they scored two goals. The final result was of 4-0. Benitez showed very satisfied with the victory but he said that they could score more goals. The Real Madrid was swept for the Liverpool and Casillas saved them of a heavy defeat. Stephen Gerrard insisted they did a nice job on the first time and that it was a fantastic team performance.

Chelsea also got the pass thanks to Drogba’s goal which was the 2-2.
Yesterday’s was a difficult night for Juande Ramos. The Real Madrid have not passed to quarters of final of the Champions league since 2004, and yesterdays defeat can cause doubts about the Spanish team’s directive. Ramos didn’t say anything about referee decisions which were not very good.

Benitez added that he is very satisfied with his team and that he is in the best side because his team approach European matches with confidence and on the right way. One prove of it is that Liverpool’s image is very different in Premier’s league and in the Champions.

Discussion essay: bieng a celebrity

It is a well-known fact that being a celebrity is an interesting experience and I’m sure that maybe everybody would like to try it. Famous people are not conscious of it, but they are very lucky because as I will say later, they have a lot of privileges.

On the one hand, famous people appear on TV so they are known in all the world and they can meet who they want. I think that they haven’t got a lot of work so they have a lot of free time which they can pass practicing their favorite hobbies. It’s also true that if they need anything, one famous person is going to be first that another who isn’t famous. Being a celebrity means that you have a lot of privileges and you earn a lot of money.

On the other hand, is not always easy to have privacy when you are a famous person. As you know they always appear on TV and every thing they do, quickly is known for everybody. Anyway they can’t do always what they want, because they must go to famous events and they must be careful with what they do because all things they do are going to be known. Apart from that, I think that they aren’t very happy with reporters and presenters because they are always pursuing them to have an interview or something.

Personally, I believe that being a celebrity could be a interesting thing but only for some days because I think that you must like this kind of live, appearing always on TV and being careful with all you do, so I prefer to have a normal and calmly live as mine.
