Real boss hails Beckham performance

Real Madrid coach Wanderley Luxemburgo poured lavish praise on David Beckham following the England captain’s man-of-the-match performance in last night’s 2-1 victory over Olympiacos.

Beckham set up Madrid’s first goal – scored by Raul in the ninth minute – and sent over another 30 telling crosses later in the contest, most of which his team-mates managed to spurn.
