Real Madrid 0-1 Villarreal - Riquelme seals Real Madrid's first pre-season defeat

Villarreal beat Real Madrid 1-0 on Saturday in a high profile friendly played down south in Cadiz.

The only goal of a tight match was put away by Juan Roman Riquelme four minutes from time with one of his trademark free-kicks.

New Real coach Fabio Capello admitted he was "quite disappointed afterwards, because we still have many things that need to be corrected."

The late win will give Villarreal encouragement for their visit next Sunday to Madrid to face Real on the their "Liga" debut.

THE ROBINHO SPIRIT
Throughout the match, Robinho was the only player that brought the crowd to their feet, demonstrating that he feels very comfortable playing on Andalusian soil. Cadiz has adopted the player as one of its own. Madrid's number '10' constantly tried to get by the Villarreal defense, was victim to many fouls, counterattacked frequently and participated in his team's most eye-catching plays without skimping out on his trademark step-overs and magical feints. Nevertheless, Robinho was unable to score on the same field that saw him make his Real Madrid debut.
