Beckham Ends Reign In Spain With La Liga Title
He may be heading for a league more than just physical miles from Spain's La Liga Primera Division but David Beckham will always remember his last season as a Real Madrid player for his personal resurrection and ultimately Real Madrid's first La Liga title for four years.
A recurrence of his ankle injury sustained playing for England may have kept the former England captain off the pitch at the end of the title winning season finale game against RCD Mallorca but Beckham was one of the first jumping for joy with his teammates after two goals from on-loan Arsenal striker Jose Antonio Reyes helped Madrid over the La Liga finishing line.
Reigning champions Barcelona may have beaten Gimnastic convincingly by five goals to one in their last game but it wasn't enough as Real Madrid came from behind to beat Mallorca 3-1 and give the club the title on a head-to-head victories basis over their old Catalan rivals.
The future of coach Fabio Capello may not even now be secured though and with old guard players like Beckham and Brazilian fullback Roberto Carlos moving on there may yet be more additions to the Madrid revolution at a joyous Santiago Bernabeu stadium this summer.
The upside down world of David Beckham and Real Madrid looks to have taken yet another unpredictable twist with news coming out of Spain that the club are looking to exercise a clause in Beckham's LA Galaxy contract which could mean him staying at the Bernabeu after all.
Beckham's representatives have moved swiftly to deny any such possibility and have made it clear that the player is looking forward to making his much derided move to Los Angeles and beginning his quest to both win trophies for the Galaxy franchise and help promote
Major League Soccer outside of North America.
The U-turn by the Madrid hierarchy has came on the back of Beckham's superb late season form where he has helped Real Madrid to within a whisker of recording their first La Liga title success since the beginning of the Galactico era and a resumption of their own quest to become the top club in Spanish domestic football.
Beckham has been in scintillating form in recent months which has helped earn him a recall not only to the Madrid starting eleven but also a recall to the England national squad for the recent games against Brazil and Estonia where he demonstrated once again how potent a weapon his well-renowned right foot is when crossing the ball for team-mates to convert into precious goals.
Madrid or Los Angeles though? Let's hope it's not a question left to each club's lawyers to sort out as both Real Madrid and Los Angeles Galaxy would be all the poorer for not having David Beckham in their lineups for next season.
