News: Real Madrid Stay Away Barcelona
Real Madrid increase their lead atop the Spanish league (La Liga) to Barcelona by six points after the game on Saturday (7/1/2012) ended with a 5-1 victory over Granada in the small club's opening match to the Santiago Bernabeu stadium within a period of 36 years.
The pressure was now felt by the champions league, Barcelona, who are still proud of the psychological advantage after beating Real last month, when they later met at Espanyol on Sunday (08/01/2012) local time.
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has promised there will be no more poor performances in the first round as in the King's Cup match against Malaga in midweek when they have to catch them up to a 3-2 win.
