La Liga News 24/7
Real Madrid: Mourinho at the break: Ẅhat are you doing? They can´t dominate us like that!¨ Canales: will be out three weeks with an ankle injury.
Barcelona: ¨Spine-chilling!¨: Atleti 1-2 Barca: DeGea, Messi and 20 others. Messi takes on the Calderón with a great goal, but leaves on a stretcher after a horror tackle by Ujfalusi. They feared he had a broken ankle, although everything points to a sprain which will have him out for 15 days. DeGea avoids a heavy loss.
Reaction: If there is one image to take with you today´s it´s this. No, not the fact that Messi almost broke his ankle from a horror tackle by Tomás Ujfalusi. It´s that if this had been the Madrid derby and Ujfalusi had done the same to Cristiano Ronaldo, Marca would have called out a media-wide hit against the Atleti defender. It´s a double standard. They cover the sport. They cover the league. This should be the sort of reporting better found on a fanzine sold outside the grounds. It´s not. It´s the best-selling daily sports rag in Spain and by not condemning this more vehemently, it condones the actions.
Real Madrid: Mourinho, 10 years as a coach: ¨I am sad, but I have no right to ask anything from Real Madrid.¨
Barcelona: ¨Aaaayyy!!¨: Atleti 1-2 Barca: Messi escapes with only two weeks of injury after a brutal entry by Ujfalusi. Guardiola: ¨You can´t say that Messi needs to be stopped either civilly or criminally.¨
Reaction: I´ve said what I have to say about the Messi situation already. Instead I´d like to comment on the Mourinho problem. I´m not stirring up any problems, but José clearly has problems in his relationship with Real Madrid management, something that took years to define at Chelsea. The over-under as to how long his reign will last (in my opinion) has now dropped under two years and not the two-plus years I originally gave him.
