For the second time in only four days had Real Madrid on Saturday night to leave the pitch as losers against portugal, Barcelona.
With the victory was Barcelona the first team ever in history to win four league matches in a row on Real Madrid’s usually so intimidating home ground, the Bernabeu.
But not much is normal in Madrid at the moment. Kongeklubben now have 12 points up to rivals in La Liga’s first place finish after a season, which is probably not going to go down in the history books for anything other than turmoil, intrigue and, not least, poor performance.
And the special one Real Madrid player has been the target of criticism from both fellow players and fans.
The welsh superstar Gareth Bale was of many destined to take a starring role at the Bernabeu after parting with the icon Christiano Ronaldo, but the golf-happy the briton has not managed to fill portugiserens shoes.
To succeed the most scoring player of the club’s history is, of course, not an easy task. But Real Madrid is not just any club.
Here is providing you, or smoking you out, and it now seems to be the fate of Bale, who Saturday night left the pitch to buh-cries from their own fans, after yet another cold efforts in the white shirt.

From the Uk is reported, it is now that the welshman will be used as part of a swap deal to send Christian Eriksen to the Spanish capital, where he may need to try to tie the game together between the many international stars from next summer.
According to the Sunday Express are the spaniards ready to send Bale back to London along with in the vicinity of 450 million dollars, which will make Eriksen for the second most expensive Danish player ever.
Eriksen has not even addressed the many rumors about his possible future in Spain, but his manager Mauricio Pochettino has at several times indicated that he would be happy to hold on to its Danish superstar.
But despite kærlighedserklæringer and good intentions, so has Eriksen and Tottenham have not yet extended the agreement, which currently expires in the summer of 2020.
If this does not happen, and if the English not to lose him for free, he must therefore go for the summer.
And after Saturday’s Clasico looks like Real Madrid very much a club, who could use a sprinkle of magic dust from the elegant dane.
