Schuster pragmatic as Real are routed

UNDER fire Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster had few complaints about his side’s 3-1 defeat by Getafe on Saturday, admitting he felt from early on it was not going to be their night.

Madrid’s defeat combined with a 3-0 victory for Barca at Sevilla means the champions are now six points adrift of top spot.

Getafe needed only two minutes to take the lead thanks to Juan Albin’s thumping header, and he doubled his side’s lead at the start of the second half. Ike Uche secured the win after Madrid pulled a goal back through Javier Saviola.
