“If you have a problem… if no one else can help… and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… The A Team.”

Unless your name is Zinedine Zidane, of course. In which case, you’d be better off hiring the B Team instead. That, at least, is the verdict of the man who was undone by them this week: him and many more besides.

Sid Lowe believes Real Madrid are still in complete control to win the title despite the loss to Barcelona in El Clasico.

With Barca firmly back in the La Liga title race, the FC panel don’t see how Madrid can focus on both competitions at once.

Real Madrid Manager Zinedine Zidane believes that missed chances are what cost Madrid against Barcelona.

An Alvaro Morata hat-trick saw Madrid past Leganes, with most of Real’s superstars rested or on the bench.
Real Madrid ran out 4-2 winners at Butarque against an ambitious Leganes side who caused “Madrid B” plenty of problems. The visitors eased to a 3-0 lead through James Rodriguez and a brace from Alvaro Morata but were pegged back with two goals in two minutes from Gabriel and Luciano. Morata forced the fourth from a James cross, somewhat fortunately completing the hat trick with a header that took a significant deflection off Martin Mantovani’s hand.
