1) Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has revealed that midfielder Ruben de la Red will miss the rest of the season.
De la Red, 23, collapsed during Real's 3-2 Copa del Rey loss at Real Union in October with a suspected heart anomaly, although the player is still undergoing tests to determine a definitive diagnosis.

"No team has ever retained the Champions League. Is that extra incentive for you?"

Yeah it's not like Real Madrid, AC Milan, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Ajax, Benfica and Inter have ever done it.

But then Football only began in 1992 didn't it?

Real madrid only have raul who's Spanish and he hardly gets a look these days .

Just looking at our fixtures, the Saturday before travelling to Madrid we play Man City at home and then we play Sunderland at home before Real come for the second leg.

Can't ask for much better than that.

don't agree with that at all. from what i've seen this season there's been a shift of focus. the premiership is the priority.

Great draw, real "glamour" tie, without too stiff a test.

I fancy us against Real Madrid, just hope Torres is fit and scoring for fun by then.
