Summary

From my writing for ESPNFC, here is my take on a weird and wonderful Clásico. Paired with Madrid's other embarassing losses this season - at home to Sheriff and to PSG in Paris - it could give president Florentino enough ammunition for a firing of a coach likely to end the season a champion (he has form here). But the list of culprits for this latest crime goes far beyond the Italian.

Unlike you, I'm Graham Hunter and it's a pleasure to read this column written for ESPAN FC to you partly because obviously

the thing that stimulates us all keeps our little hearts beating is either watching or talking about wonderful football matches.

Although it's too soon the wound is too raw to try and convince Remedadid fans that the classical

was a rounded beautiful match.

If you were either a Barcelona or a neutral,

and frankly it's one which listen you can be defeated even if you're run by Courtois and Mordrich and Casamiro and Viniscius

1:47.6

but one which needs explaining because frankly it was bizarre and if you were of the madreista persuasion then is very little short of embarrassing. Look this is my take on it. No matter what you read or hear it elsewhere, it's a fact that

Rheumet did not lose this classical in which they were utterly thrashed because Karam Bensma was out. Don't accept that phrase. It's glib. It hides some
