Adios Real Madrid Los Angeles 2013

I've been on my annual REAL MADRID in Los Angeles photo/video orgy for the past week. To say I'm spent would be an understatement. This time around things have definitely changed. There is a new coach Carlo Ancelotti and the vibe of the team has changed. For me it has been a challenging, sometimes fun and always intense 4 summers of covering some of the greatest players in football. I've taken some of the best photographs I have ever shot with the team and for that I'm truly grateful. It has been a fun ride on a Real Madrid roller coaster.
Here are some videos of the last few days of Real Madrid. Check out http://www.youtube.com/kattalestv

Tristan MacManus vs Gilles Marini's Motorcycle

A quick explanation of what is going on in this video

• I'm focusing on shooting Gilles fix his motorcycle
• Tristan MacManus shows up
• Gilles' Harley is loud so I can barely hear
• This is the first time MacManus and I have seen each other this season
• We talk about football/soccer often in past videos
• I love Real Madrid
• Tristan isn't fond of Real Madrid he likes Leeds
• I'm trying to tell Tristan that Kaka who plays for Real Madrid might be traded to the L.A. Galaxy
• Tristan doesn't seem to hear me so I repeat

Anyway, this is how misunderstandings happen and funny videos.

Ricardo KAKA Might Be Moving To LA Galaxy

Rumors that Ricardo Kaka might be traded from Real Madrid have been exploding for some time. The latest gossip is that the popular Brazilian midfielder maybe traded to the LA Galaxy when the star player David Beckham is set to retire in December 2012. A Kaka addition to the Galaxy would be an interesting choice and would increase excitement for the football fans.

REAL MADRID is Real Caliente

When I heard team REAL MADRID was in town, I knew I wanted to photograph them. I had no idea how freaking HOT the team was. On the first day, I was standing behind a barricade with fans waiting for them to arrive in front and I turned around 5-6 players came up behind me. They were all taller than me and gorgeous. Adan took my breath away. Someone said Canales was 16 but he is really 19 thank goodness. Many a women would be going to jail if he was truly underage.
