Finally, my weekends have now been fully revived. Season 2010/2011 is now officially in full swing as all the European domestic leagues have resumed much to my delight.
The English Premier League is in its third week and is already taking a familiar shape with Chelsea, Arsenal & Manchester United already occupying the top three positions. There were no real suprises in the scores for the top clubs except for the defeats to Tottenham and Manchester City.
The Spanish Primera Liga kicked off on Saturday with Valencia v Racing Santander, however Spain's top two teams were that ones that drew most attention with Barcelona opening their campaign with an easy 3-0 victory over Malaga, while Real Madrid, with Mourinho on his debut as head coach, were frustrated at the Iberostar Stadium as they were held to a goaless draw with Mallorca; made worse by the injury to Cristiano Ronaldo that will rule him out for several weeks.
The Italian Serie A was under way as well with the most exciting match being AC Milan v Lecce which Milan won is style with a 4-0 scoreline at the San Siro, much to the delight of their new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was spotted in the stands during the game. The blue side of Milan will not be as happy however as Inter, with Rafa Benitez taking charge of his first League game, were held to a goaless draw by Bologna.
The leagues now come to a break as International football is scheduled for this weekend.
