Some Things to Know About the Spanish League
MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid finally got its act together in the Champions League, and now it’s time to keep the momentum rolling into the domestic competition following a disappointing start.
Madrid won its 10th European title last season and routed FC Basel 5-1 on Tuesday, but started this year’sSpanish league with only one win from three matches. On Saturday, the team will get a chance to double their point total when they play at Deportivo La Coruna.
Barcelona, which beat Cypriot club APOEL 1-0 on Wednesday, will travel to Levante looking to maintain its perfect start.
Here are some things to know about this week’s matches in the Spanish league:
___
TIMELY REVIVAL
Madrid recovered its swagger against Basel as both Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale scored to help the team get started with a convincing victory.
With Deportivo waiting on Saturday, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti will be hoping Bale and former Tottenham teammate Luka Modric continue to link up and keep feeding the front line.
___
AILING ATLETICO
Atletico Madrid, which lost to Real Madrid in last season’s Champions League final, didn’t fare so well in Europe this week, losing to Olympiakos 3-2.
They also lost Mario Mandzukic, at least for a little while.
The Croatia striker is expected to miss Saturday’s match against Celta Vigo, and likely more, after breaking his nose following an elbow from Pajtim Kasami.
Atletico will also be without coach Diego Simeone, who is still serving an eight-match ban.
___
MUNIR MANIA
Barcelona is already at the top of the league and boasts superstar scorers in Lionel Messi and Neymar. But La Masia graduate Munir El Haddadi is also making a mark in the team and will be looking for more goals when Barcelona visits Levante on Sunday.
The 19-year-old Spaniard scored on his league debut against Elche and has wowed fans at the Camp Nou with his deadly instincts, athletic prowess and ball skills combined with a tactical ability to outfox opponents.
___
RALLYING CRY
Even after the slow start in the league, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti seems to be sticking with goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
The Spain captain was jeered at times during the team’s 5-1 win over Basel, and many fans blame him for the club’s listless start in the league.
“I look at what the goalkeeper does on the field, and I liked what I saw,” Ancelotti said.
Madrid defender Sergio Ramos also spoke out to defend his teammate.
“People should also be sensitive,” Ramos said. “The whistling affects him.”
