C.Ronaldo was out, Xabi Alonso was out and Benzema was too. (who scored 10 goals in his last 7 games). Higuaín coming back after for 5+ months and it showed.

In all fairness it was a very jaded Real Madrid side, against a Sporting who were 1-0 against Barca in the 70th minute at home and got the draw plus 7 clean sheets in their last 11 games. But the record is gone.

Interestingly, that is the first game Real have dropped points at home, apart from the Barca game in April last, since May 2009! They have won every single other home game if memory serves me correct.

Weird how often such records end in damp squid matches like United losing at home to Fenerbache in Europe. Beware the meek, beware the meek!

What a sweet win for Preciado!

The TV mogul was joined in his condemnation by Sporting Gijón manager Manolo Preciado, though for an entirely different reason. In a Friday press conference before his side play Real Madrid in El Molinón this weekend, Preciado was visibly upset after hearing Mourinho’s comments regarding his team’s 1-0 defeat to Barcelona at the Camp Nou in September. The Portuguese claimed Preciado had fielded a weakened line-up and that “if teams gift Barcelona these games then it will be very difficult for us to win the league.”

Preciado pulled no punches in a scathing assessment of Mourinho. “I swear I wasn’t going to react to his comments at the time”, he said. “However, when I heard them again on El Larguero (TV programme) he had even elaborated on them. If it had been in England they’d have thrown him in jail. I prefer to look at it in three different ways. The first is that it was a joke, but if it wasn’t then I don’t like it. Another is that it was to try and provoke the manager of Barcelona, which is a delusion because he’s not going to respond. And lastly he is just a ‘rogue’ and a ‘bad person’.

The Sporting manager didn’t stop there: “I didn’t want to say anything because I don’t want to create a hostile atmosphere, but we are first and foremost sportsmen who also know how to win and lose. If nobody in Madrid tells this gentleman what respect is then I will. We deserve the same respect as he gets with all his titles,” he added.

When asked whether or not he would greet Mourinho before the game, Preciado said: “I offer my hand to everybody, but I’m not going to keep quiet like an idiot forever. I’ve kept my mouth shut for two months because I liked this guy. Now I don’t like him so much. I’m a professional, but he doesn’t know me because he comes from another galaxy. At the moment he almost always wins but I don’t know if he knows how to do it gracefully. I think not. But one day he will lose; it’s a long fall from the top to the bottom and some people would like to see it – and I’ll tell him to his face.”

Very old-school. You'll never get a job as a co-commentator.

Barca are streets ahead of Real

Real are a joke of a team, with a ridiculous owner. , they have as much class as a dog pissing up against car wheels.

I think this song was written with real in mind...

Real are a joke of a team,

They are 8 points behind the greatest team in the history of football. No other club in Europe would get that close

with a ridiculous owner. ,

They are fan owned

they have as much class as a dog pissing up against car wheels.

I hope you are not using Barcelona as a yard stick on how to act in a classy manner :pac:
