This was the cover of this morning's AS paper. Before the Supercopa 2008. Did you watch the game? I saw it on Fox Soccer channel.
Pepe in Real Madrid, Miguel, and Manuel Fernandes in Valencia as the Portuguese national team players. Either way one was going to win the Supercopa 2008, important pre-season trophy.
Robinho. My favorite player in the Brazil national team didn't have to publicly say that he wants to go to Chelsea, in the week. Now he makes the covers before this important game before the season starts next week.
In the 1st leg at the Mestalla Robinho played the first half. Not many goal opportunities from him. It was all Valencia. As long as he's under contract with Real Madrid, he plays for the club. Period.

The 3-2 result of the first leg of the Supercopa 2008 suggests this will be a game full of emotion,
Real Madrid, League champion, Valencia cup champion.
ROBINHO
Schuster includes him in the call-up list but Real Madrid fears he won't show up.
