Madrid Win The Derby - Mesut Scores Another Goal Against Atletico Madrid

Gesturing at Real Madrid's Crest.

In the biggest game of the league season, against rivals Atletico Madrid, Mesut put in a lovely performance and scored the second goal!

He was pleased! And as he often does when he score on that side of the pitch, he waved and smiled and gestured at his crest for the Ultras.

He got lots of love - especially from Xabi and Sergio Ramos. I think they were pleased that a teammate who has had some minor difficulty did so well.

But special cuddles were reserved for assistant Crispy Ronaldo!

Mesut came off to a standing ovation from the crowd with about 4 minutes to go...

And finally, after Rui Faria had him tucked up inside a warm coat...

An affectionate pat on the head from Papa Jose!

I was distracted during the game by too many things, but I managed to see his goal. Because my stream was a bit blurry it took me a few seconds to realize it was him. I was so thrilled I screamed and jumped up and down. We had some new people over to watch the game and I acted like a total loon. The perfect introduction to me. :)

LOVE that gif of him immediately after the goal, the booty shot, and the flinching.
