Zidane takes blame for humiliating Madrid Copa exit
- January 25, 2018
Despite having won the Supercopa de Espana, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup this season, the pressure on head coach Zinedine Zidane was already mounting, with Los Blancos sitting 19 points adrift of Barcelona in LaLiga. Leading 1-0 from last week's first leg, Zidane again rotated his side for the return, and a full-strength Leganes team had hit the post through Claudio Beauvue's 20 yard free kick before Javi Eraso evened things up on aggregate by curling a 25 yarder into the top ...

Eagles have bought into team-first approach
- January 25, 2018
A big spread made sense for the game; it doesn't for this year's match-up between two 13-3 teams that, on paper, are evenly matched. And the other time the Patriots met the Eagles? I think Cox meant that he's not a big sports fan and doesn't have a favorite Super Bowl memory. (more...)

Garitano: Promotion to Segunda more important for Leganes than Madrid scalp
- January 25, 2018
I am responsible for this, it is a failure for me today. Should coach Zinedine Zidane choose not to start him, it could be the final straw for the playmaker. The goal ended Benzema's six-match scoreless streak that dated back to November. Alas for Zidane and co., soon after Leganes would score again, with Brazilian Gabriel bagging the victor on the night via a powerful header from a corner. (more...)
