Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid 2nd Leg Highlights Video - 3 May 2011

Real Madrid

In the Champions League semifinal we will have FC barcelona taking on Real Madrid in what will be huge match at Camp now on 3rd May 2011 and it will be interesting to see how Real madrid put there team up in this match. Jose mourinho has been hugely scrutenized for the anitques in the first leg and he will be sitting in the crowd for this match as Real Madrid go out there to climb the highest mountain. Last time when the visited camp nou match ended 5-0 in the favour of home side and it was embarassing for them. Now Real Madrid will be hoping to go out there and try to overturn the 2-0 deficit they have.

Both teams are coming into this match on the back of defeats in the respective matches in the league and it will be interesting how this match goes about. FC barcelona are playing some really nice football this season and their prize asset Leo Messi is in form of this life he has already scored 53 goals in the season and most likely be the potent threat in front of the goal for the catalunia side as they try to beat Real Madrid for the 3rd time this season and get to the big final at Wembley stadium in London.

Real Madrid also had a good season uptill now, and their recent meetings with Barcelona have been very even I have to say as they went on to beat them in the Copa Del Rey final and also drew against them in the league couple of weeks ago. Now they will be hoping to get another good result against he team which is hailed as one of the best in the history of Barcelona. Although Real Madrid have a uphill battle they can still getinto the skin of Barcelona if the can score early on which will make home side nervouse and make them prone to mistakes.

Guardiola Making a Mockery of Football

Real Madrid

I, like you reading this now, am a fan of football. Many of you will also be a fan of beautiful football, that of which Barcelona have been praised for countless times. Indeed, their play is admirably graceful and magnificently elegant with splendid passing and exquisitely dominant attacking play. It is something that many clubs around the world aspire to be like, with Arsenal and Arsene Wenger trying their own style of beautiful passing to create the perfect goal. However, we all saw a far uglier side to their football last week in the "El Clasico" - the first leg of their Champion's League semi-final against Real Madrid.

For those who have watched the fixture before in recent times, it will have come as no surprise. It would have come as no surprise that certain players were falling on the floor as if they had been shot, rolling around on the grass as if they were on the verge of death, and screaming in absolute agony as if someone had repeatedly kicked them in the stomach with steel toe capped boots. It was a disgrace. Yet nothing was done to punish the players who were in blatant wrong.

Real Madrid, knowing that they have little chance of winning the tie thanks to the sublime Lionel Messi, resorted to accusations that some Barcelona players had been racist to their defender, Marcelo by calling him a monkey. Of course, if that is true, there must be enquiries; UEFA cannot simply sweep the matter under the carpet like no doubt they would love to do. In response however, Pep Guardiola said something quite amazing. It actually made me laugh a little in exasperation. He leapt to the defence of his player Sergio Busquets by saying:

“I know these kind of players, all of them. They are an example of professionalism, of honesty. They love the values of the sport.

“They know we play for the rest of the world. Of course they can make mistakes but as a human, they are an example as a player of Barcelona, as players of Spain.”

Professionalism? Honesty? Was this not the player who was rolling around on the floor in the first leg after jumping on a Real's player's back? Replays showed that there was no contact on his face, yet he persisted to clutch it in pain and suffering, and even required medics on the field to cure his complete and utter lie of an injury. How can he possibly "love the values of the sport" when he is purposely attempting to get a fellow professional sent off for doing nothing wrong?

Guardiola goes on to say that his side play for world, and Busquets sets an example for the players of Barcelona and Spain. What kind of example does faking injuries to get other people unfairly in trouble set? When the children of Barcelona, the children of Spain, and the children watching anywhere in the world see him do what he did, it suddenly makes them start to think that perhaps this behaviour is acceptable when in fact, it is the very behaviour that we do not want to see in football.

I have never had a problem with Guardiola before, but those words wound me up. It is a blatant ignorance of the facts that a lot of his players are clear cheats, who in their competitiveness, will attempt to shamelessly con the referee into thinking that they have been the subject of red-card worthy tackles. In view of hundreds of high definition camera's, which will tell us all whether there is contact or not, it is unprincipled, and unfair.

Guardiola added that he “was getting sick of playing Madrid” because of all the noises off the pitch. Well that is something I can agree on. I'd much rather watch Arsenal, Manchester United and the rest of the Premier League who, though far from perfect, and not free from diving and cheating, do have some restraint on their diving practice on the pitch, and get on with playing football - entertaining football. Arsenal, United and the rest may not have the inch perfect passing and extraordinary attacking force as Barcelona and sometimes Madrid do, but I'll be glad when this semi-final is over, so we can all watch some football free from so much blatant cheating.

Owen Wants To be The New Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Real Madrid

Michael Owen joined Manchester United in the knowledge that a starting place would be very rare. At 31, he has come to accept this, and the cameo role he plays in certain matches often prove absolutely vital in games, especially when you consider he was a free signing for United. But the main reason the former Liverpool fan favourite joined United was to do something that his previous teams rarely did in his time there - win trophies.

He came to no better place, and this season, he has the chance to help United to win both the Premier League trophy, and the Champions League trophy, both of which would be the first of his long, goal filled career. In a recent interview, Owen put his lack of pitch time down to the quality and depth of the squad at United. He said:

"Even if it is just one goal or one good performance, everyone is going to play their part."

"I was in the stand on Tuesday against Schalke. You are feeling sorry for yourself thinking I would like to be on the pitch or on the bench.

"Next to you is Wes Brown, who has dozens of England caps and John O'Shea, who has got even more for the Republic of Ireland. Darron Gibson is also an international.

"They are not even getting stripped. That tells you everything about the squad of player we have got.

The majority of Manchester Untied fans see Owen's best position as on the bench, and coming on late in the game when a goal is needed - a "super-sub" if you like, and it the interview, he said something quite interesting considering United's history:

"I suppose I am dreaming of coming off the bench and scoring the stoppage-time winner in the Champions League final.

"That is the motivation that drives me on. Every day I have to be ready and prepared to come in and do something."

Sound familiar? Cast your minds back to the 1999 Champions League final, and who came on in a Champions League final to score the winner? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer of course, and what was he genreally known as? A "super-sub". Scoring a late winner in the Champions League final must be a dream come true for any player, and every time I watch Solskjaer's winner in that final, goosebumps run fiercely all over my skin, so what it must be like for a player only they will know.

Michael Owen has done it before in his time at United - not in a Champions League final - but in the Manchester derby last season, when a draw seemed certain late on. His 96th minute goal is typical of United's never say die attitude, and there is no doubt, that if United make this years European Cup final, and they need a goal, Michael Owen will surely be sent on to find one. Like Solskjaer, his finishing and eye for goal are deadly. Who knows, perhaps late in May, Owen's dream may become a reality. Lets hope so.

Real Madrid 2-3 Real Zaragoza Highlights Video- 30 April 2011

Real Madrid

After getting beaten by FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League Real Madrid will be taking on Real Zaragoza in what will be a huge match for them. Cristiano Ronaldo wont be the part of the squad for this match and the fact is he did not like that at all which was apparent from his latest interview where he said that he dont like defensive tactics and he blames the defensive style of madrid against Barca for the defeat.

Nani to Real Madrid - Latest Rumour

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have seen a few things crushed in the past few weeks. Firstly the Copa del Rey trophy was harshly trampled over by the ceremonial bus, and this week, someone far more agile, nifty and supremely talented in Lionel Messi crushed Mourinho's dreams of lifting a second successive Champions League trophy. The semi final first leg was as a whole, a disgrace, with diving and play acting coughed up all over the pitch. So what do Real Madrid do when they find themselves in a pickle? Spend a load of money on new recruits.

The latest player to be linked to the Spanish side is Manchester United's Luis Nani. The Portuguese has often been accused of copying Cristiano Ronaldo's style, so by joining his compatriot at Madrid will go no way in shaking that irritating yet flattering tag. Nani cost United £17 million in 2007, and has only this season come into his own, creating himself a guaranteed starting spot in most big games and as a result having a brilliant season, with 12 goals and even more assists.

A move to Italy was also being mooted earlier in the season as United's interest in Sneijder being suggested as a help for Inter's rumoured bid for Nani. And it is unsurprising that Nani is so sought after, with his blistering form this season and a certain impact whenever he plays. But a move to Real Madrid? Very unlikely.

Nani used Twitter to voice his side when he was being linked to Inter Milan. He wrote: "I've seen some false reports in the press. I want you to know that you will hear the truth from me. Love MU"

Sir Alex Ferguson would certainly not be eager to do any kind of a deal with Madrid after the episode with Ronaldo. The fiery Scot told the world that he "wouldn't sell a virus" to that "mob", referring to Madrid. He did in the end sell his Portuguese star to Madrid, but it was for an outrageous sum of £80 million, and not a bad deal at all.

I really can't see Sir Alex letting Nani go, who still has around 15 months left on his contract, and Nani is clearly comfortable in Manchester United. He is clearly important to United's attack, and would certainly not have a guaranteed starting place at an overcrowded squad at Real Madrid. It would be a silly, silly decision for Nani to leave for Madrid when he is in the privileged position that he is currently in.

Wayne Rooney recently admitted to regretting even contemplating leaving the great club that is Manchester United, and when you watch documentary's of Sir Bobby Charlton's time at Old Trafford and the creation of a legend, it is surely unrivalled inspiration for any footballer. So the conclusion? If Nani wants a glitzy, glamorous life in Spain with his friend and former team mate Ronaldo, whilst sitting out on the bench, then Madrid is the place to go. However, if he wants a successful, highly satisfying success, and a first team place, as well as the possibility of carving his name in the United history books, there is only one thing to do; sign a new contract at Manchester United.

Video: Lionel Messi Goal v Madrid

Real Madrid

The highlight of the game and, I suspect the tie, can be seen below, in the form of Lionel Messi's dazzling run through the hapless Real Madrid defence and delicately precise finish into the Madrid net. It was a bright light in a game filled to the rim with an utter disgrace in the all too common and far uglier form of cheating.

Watch the 2 sending off's and Messi's First Goal By Clicking Here.

Diving - A Disgrace to Football

Real Madrid

I hesitate to take away the stunningly bright light that Lionel Messi has thrust himself into after creating beauty amidst an ugly cloud of controversy, but how can I not, when many Real Madrid and Barcelona's player's were an utter disgrace for much of the game.

The play acting and - well, just plain diving was clear for all to see. Maybe not the referee, who didn't have the benefit of replays, but luckily, or unluckily for us watching at home, we could witness the diving in it's full,  disgraceful, slow motion picture. It is despicable behaviour from grown men who should be setting an example to young footballers with their fair play. What was broadcast all over the world on Wednesday night was not fair play, and it is certainly not something which I want to see future generations of player's participating in.
I noted down several of the incidents that were particularly shameful and abominable excuses for fouls:

•  Sergio Busquets fell down clutching his face in apparent agony. Replays show that he jumped on the back of a Real Madrid player, and jumped back off of him as soon as his hand came anywhere near him. There was absolutely zero contact, yet uproar among protesting Barcelona players.

• Real Madrid defender, Marcelo went down from a foul. It was a foul - his feet had been taken away from him, and it was nothing more than a free-kick - and it was given. Yet rolling around was the added effect and waving his arm in the air to indicate a card to be shown added insult to... "injury".

• Next up was Pedro. He ran into a Real player and fell down, holding his face whereas replays clearly show there was no contact. To carry on the act - or to hide his shame, he needed medics to come on and check on it, whilst pouring water on it. What's worse is that the Barcelona players hounded the referee like hungry dogs as if Pedro had been assaulted.

• Hypocrisy was also rife. Dani Alves - a serial diver if I ever saw one, complained about a foul given against him, claiming that the Madrid attacker went down to easily. Amazing.

• The last two involve Madrid's Pepe. Firstly, he was the perpetrator, jumping - almost flying through the air like a deranged bird after a slight touch from Mascherano. Yes, it was a foul, but there is simply no need for the play acting.

• Finally, the sending off. Dani Alvez was up to his old tricks again, and this time conned the referee into sending Pepe off. It was a high foot from Pepe, but a yellow card at the worst. However, professional ballet-like pirouettes from the Barcelona defender added to theatrics. Replay's showed that the contact was minimal, and was on his shin pad. Unless his pain thresh-hold is nothing on a scale of 0 - 10, surely he wouldn't have needed a stretcher to take him off the pitch.

I want to know why such talented footballers, who have made it to the top of their games and managed to reach this stage of such a prestigious competition feel the need to cheat. That is what it is - cheating, and it is an absolute disgrace. 

I don't want to draw comparisons, but when Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney swore into the camera, he was banned for a few games. In my opinion, what I saw in the Real Madrid - Barcelona game was just as bad. It is cheating, cheating, cheating. That is what they are doing - cheating. It is infuriating, and it is something that millions of young kids will have watched and thought "I could do that", or "they did it, so I can". Many of the principles that were broken by Rooney swearing into a camera were broken in this game, with an awful, explicable example being set to young, aspiring footballers. 

The game was ruined by all of the controversies, sending off's and cheating but sprinkled in glory and glamour in the end by a fabulous footballer, and one who does not get involved in all of the blatant deception of the referee. Lionel Messi - a true example of a fair and honest football player, and the best in the world without a doubt. Some of those cheating divers should take a leaf out of Messi's book, and start playing football, letting their skills do the talking. It isn't too much to ask is it?

This is going to be a huge match but Real Madrid dont have much chance of catching barcelona in the league as they are struggling to cope the pressure at the top.

Sir Alex Has Confidence in His Winning Team

Real Madrid

Manchester United may not have the cutting edge of previous title and double winning sides, but they possess the one thing that really matters, and the one thing that is so rare and therefore valuable to a trophy challenging side; the ability to dig out a win when the opposite looks inevitable. It is a trait that Sir Alex Ferguson has pumping through his veins and has clearly rubbed off on his side as they sit six points clear at the top of the League and in the Champions League semi-final.

Sir Alex was speaking this week-end of the final few fixtures this season which include games against the two title challengers, Arsenal and Chelsea. He was frustrated that people who talk of the two games against Arsenal and Chelsea suggest that United will lose them, or at least drop points. This may be the likely possibility in at least one of the fixtures as the side may be suffering from fatigue as they battle on both the European and domestic fronts, but Sir Alex remains defiant:

"The thing that puzzles me is that people keep saying we still have to play Arsenal and Chelsea and they talk about these games as if we are going to lose them."

"Why can't we win these games? Why can't we go to the Emirates Stadium and win, as we have done previously? I told the players to forget about all that nonsense and just win their games."

United are favourites for the League, as they have been for a few months now, but with the recent slip-ups of Arsenal, it is generally thought that United will have the trophy in their hands sooner rather than later. If they win both games against Arsenal and Chelsea, they will have their 19th title, overtaking Liverpool's record, as Sir Alex Ferguson finally completes his promise to knock Liverpool off their perch. How has he done it? How has the greatest manager of his generation, and possibly ever, been able to guide this team to close success? A winning mentality, great character, and a fierce fight until the end:

"There is that winning attitude about them. We will keep our heads down and not get carried away. There are only four games left and the way they are going about their business and the effort they have shown, it gives them an outstanding chance of being champions. You can test people's character but they keep coming through. 

"We had some great openings and could have had this match finished by half-time but it is in the traditions of Manchester United that we don't do that. We always wait until the very end and keep everyone high on the edge of their seats but we get there."

United will face Schalke 04 on Tuesday, a match which the German side will be underdogs, a position that so far in the European campaign, they have thrived on. It will be a tough test for Sir Alex's side, who will come up against a player who is a European legend, and a player that United held talks to sign last summer. 


Former Real Madrid striker Raul had attracted Ferguson, and he said that although United were looking for young players, Raul is still a top striker, and could make it at United. However, with the strikers already at United, including Rooney, Berbatov, Owen and the then newly acquired Javier Hernandez, Sir Alex decided to pass up the opportunity to sign the Spaniard:

"You can make exceptions for certain players, because experience is so valuable. We thought the same when we signed Michael Owen, who has been a terrific professional for us, and bringing in Raúl would have been similar to when we managed to get Henrik Larsson for a short time a few years ago. 

"It was obvious his time at Real Madrid had come to an end, and he certainly wasn't too old to be effective, as he has been showing in Germany. We spoke to his agent about a possible move but we already had Javier Hernández by then and, with Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen available, we thought we could afford to let the chance pass."

 "If we hadn't had Michael at the club at the time I might well have signed him."

Barcelona 0-1 Real Madrid Copa Del Rey Highlights - 20 April 2011

Real Madrid

FC Barcelona will be taking on Real Madrid which will be a huge match and it will be interesting to see how these team react after the match they played on the weekend which virtualy crowned Barca the Champion of Spain and now it will be very very diffcult for Real Madrid to go out there and win the battle of the title against Barca who are leading the league table and with very few games to go I cant see them losing title this season so they are in a good position to think about other matches now.

FC Barcelona are playing real good football of late, and with Leo Messi hunting for his 50th goal of the season this is the perfect match where he can get the goal and make history as Barcelona might win the Copa Del Ray with the help of that goal.

Ronaldo Hitting the Bar: [ Freekick ]

Watch: Gomes Blunder v Real Madrid

Real Madrid

Tottenham's chances of progressing into the semi finals of the Champions League were pretty much dead in the water before this game even started. It would have been the biggest and best comeback in Champions League history if it were to have been completed, but it was never very likely. Spurs held hope as they kept it a 0 - 0 a half time, but when a Ronaldo shot left the former Manchester United players' right boot, Tottenham's 'keeper, Gomes was left looking like another Robert Green.

It was all too much for Gomes and Spurs, and this goal simply emphasises the overpowering force that Tottenham faced over the two ties. A very good team who are entertaining and attacking, with two fantastic wingers and a brilliantly creative midfield were outdone by a team who are filled with international superstars, worth in today's money, fees of £60 and £80 million.

Tottenham had a great journey on their debut season in the European competition, and they entertained throughout, but this was one comeback that proved too much. Next up for them is Arsenal, a completely different prospect. A win against Wenger's side may just make up for this quarter final tie forget.

Real Madrid won the match in the first leg and they will be looking to keep the good run of form going as they have other big matches to be played in the league and the Copa del ray as well.

In the first leg Real Madrid attack just tore Tottenham apart as they hammered 4 goals past them at the Santiago Bernabue and it will be interesting to see as with what combination they go into the match. Tottenham are a team on a high this season and they made some memorable comebacks in the league as well as Champions League but this match and the deficit is too hard to cope and will be unlikely to see them in the Semi Final.

Its pretty much sure that we will see Real Madrid taking on Barcelone for the double header in the Champions League semi Final match while they hope to forget the defeat they suffered in the previous match against them. You can always come here shortly before it all starts on the night, the time is around 19:45 BST.

In the next match of the Spanish La Liga match we wil have Athletic Bilbao taking on Real Madrid in what will be a very crucial match for both the sides for different reason. Madrid has already gone back in the title challeng and it will be a huge task for them to keep the title challenge alive as Barcelona are not losing at all in the lague while Real Madrid are coming into this match on the back of a bad result against Sporting De Gijon at home and they will have to play better to keep up the chase.

Although many expert beleive that Jose Mourinho might have given up on the title dream and with 4 El classico coming up in next few days time, it will be interesting to see how they go about the matches in the coming weeks. Real Madrid will have to play four matches in the next 4 weeks against Arch Rivals barcelona in 3 different Competitions including League, Champions League and ofcource the final of the Kings cup.

Real Madrid

This is the match between two very exciting teams who only know one way of playing and that is going forward and scoring goals. They tend to struggle against the teams which are physical in nature but since both of these teams pretty similar in style it will be interesting to see how they go about this match. Real Madrid have been playing some real good football and they will be looking to get a good result in this tie and make it to the next round.

They have a manager who is very well aware of English Teams, as Jose Mourinho spent a few years with Chelsea and he will have his team well prepared for this big match. There are rumours that Ronaldo might miss the match but still playing at home they will be good enough to win this match.

Arsenal In £50 Million Summer Spending Spree

Real Madrid

Plagued with injuries throughout the season to the extent that a new/old goalkeeper had to be brought in for back up, as well as being tormented with off form players slipping up a crucial times in massive matches, and Arsene Wenger is understandably frustrated. He must be wondering what he has done wrong to deserve the punishment of seeing his loyal but exhausted players suffer in this way. It isn't all bad when you consider Arsenal's position in the table - three points behind the leaders with a game in hand - but this season could have been about so much more than just the Premier League crown.

It is perhaps no wonder then, that Arsenal are being linked to two big money players to boost the squad this summer - give it some well needed depth, diversity and energy. These two players are Bolton's Gary Cahill and Real Madrid's Karim Benzema. I honestly cannot see it myself. It isn't that the two players wouldn't fit into the squad; Cahill, a strong, reliable, often goal scoring centre back would be welcomed in the beleaguered defence, while Benzema will have no shortage of fellow countrymen to communicate with (not to mention being a top class front man).  The rumours really get unbelievable when the price is quoted.

Cahill and Benzema are being valued at £25 million by the news sources. That's £25 million each. Probably around £40 million more than Wenger would dream of spending. His cautious, low profile approach to the transfer market has caused plenty of frustration among even patient supporters, as they await their first trophy for six years. It may yet come this year, but it will undoubtedly be very close, and with all of the teams around them certain to improve their squads in the summer, Arsenal do not want to be left behind at the start of next season in a year which looks to be even more competitive and tight than even this year has been so far.

Manchester United are apparently Arsenal's competition for the 25 year-old Cahill. United have seen a Vidic - Smalling partnership blossom in the absence of the seemingly always injured Rio Ferdinand, and if Ferdinand ever does receive further injures which is highly likely, United will need a top quality replacement. There have also been unsettling murmurings of Vidic's future as a United player as his wife apparently doesn't like it in Manchester. The Wes Brown - Chris Smalling defensive partnership has been poor so far, and Sir Alex will look for a new defender to banish any defensive worries in the future.


A bidding war is something neither side would want however, with Arsenal's reluctance to spend, and United's crushing debts reducing the possibility of big money signings.
The website states;

"The Trotters [Bolton] are bracing themselves for bids in the summer, and both Arsenal and Manchester United are expected to come to the table at some point with an offer for the England international.

Chelsea are also thought to be keen on landing the player, with the west London outfit also interested in the 25-year-old former Aston Villa defender.

Arsenal are still thought to be favourites though, although the Gunners will have to fight hard to see off Manchester United if these claims are to be believed."

Meanwhile, Wenger is supposedly a "big fan" of Benzema who was bought by Madrid from Lyon for £35 million two seasons ago. It is easy to see why, as Benzema has masses of exactly what Wenger is always looking for, craving for, searching for: "potential".

17 goals in 52 appearances this season isn't to impressive, but his previous form is far more impressive, with one season amassing 20 goals in just 36 appearances. A partnership of van Persie and Benzema would also be a vast improvement to what they have at the moment, and would add he depth up front which has been lacking.

Sir Alex Ferguson had tried to bring Benzema to United before he joined Madrid, but I doubt he would be after him again after being turned down already.

Real Madrid 3-0 Lyon 2nd Leg Highlights Video - 16 March 2011

Real Madrid

in the next match of the Champions League we will have Real Madrid taking on Olympic Lyon in what will be ahuge match for the Glacticos as they try to get past he Round of 16 tie after quite a while 7 years to be precise and now they will be up against Lyon whom they drew against 1-1 in the first leg and it will be interesting to see how they go about this match as Jose Mourinho has been bought in to win the UEFA Champions League.


This is the match which will be interesting to see on the night, Former Lyon Player Karim Benzema is playing really well of late and he will be hoping to keep his goal scoring run going and get his team past last 16 round. Madrid will be hoping to get through as failure to do so would mean Jose Mourinho will be under real pressure and the game it self on knife edge as if lyon scores they would be back in the tie and all the have to do is to win it or get a scoring draw. You can tune in here to watch the live action of the match as we will be placing live streaming links here shortly before it all starts on the night.

Predictions: 7 years it has been since Madrid got passed this group but I can see them winning this leg and going into the quarter Finals in front of their home crowd.

Racing Santander 1-3 Real Madrid Highlights Video - 6 March 2011

Real Madrid

In the next match of the Spanish League we will have Racing Santander taking on Real Madrid in the league match on Sunday night and It looks as if Real Madrid's chances of winning the title are well and truely over, with Real Madrid playing in the midweek for the Champions League match we will have madrid taking on Lyon and with Ronaldo doubtful for the match, it will be a very tough game for them playing away from home.

Real Madrid are not 10 points behind barcelona and with less than 10 matches to go in the league i can see their title challenge is over. Jose mourinho still saying that they wont give up the title challenge and they will fight till the end of the league season. Real Madrid have been playing really well of late and scroing loads of goals.

Predictions: Real Madrid are playing some good football in the league and they will be hoping to get all three points in the league. I can see Madrid winning this match
