A Real setback for Madrid and Barca

FOR drama and surprise there is nothing quite like La Liga, although the Premier League shows signs of running it close this season.

Barcelona fans’ fury at their side’s collapse last week was replaced by hope as the sides above them dropped points away from home.

Real Madrid went a goal up against Mallorca at the end of the first half through Wesley Sneijder, but in the end they were fortunate to come away with a point after Sergio Ramos was sent off for the second time in five weeks.
