A Silly Mistake Leaves Madrid Dumbfounded...

Madrid now only have a two point lead against an inspired Barcelona who trashed Levante on Sunday. Madrid have lost 7 points in the last five games and this would be their first lost game at home in more than one year. Madrids performance over the last couple of game has not been bad but there has not been effectiveness and consistency in scoring goals. This is their third consecutive lost for the merengues and even though I would not call it a crisis this defeat should be more of a wake up call. Especially after dominating the whole game and losing three points to an absurd error by the whole team. It was a spectacular counter attack by Belenguer, who took advantage of Madrid's celebration, and an even better finish by Uche who is becoming accustomed to scoring goals against Madrid. The goal was a cold bucket of water to a foolish Madrid. Getafe planted themselves well on the field not letting Madrid's creative players breathe and in the end were the better team. That's football, folks.
Still, this is not the end of the world there is still much more Liga to play. Even if they only have an advantage of only two points it is still an advantage. Madrid must move on and look to the next game and return to winning ways because Barca sure have and are thirsty for that first place.
