Huge victory for Madrid that, definitely the toughest of their remaining fixtures when you consider Sevilla were unbeaten at home for 14 months. They'll be pinning their hopes on Atléti taking points from Barcelona at the Vicente Calderón.

On a side-note, with his hattrick tonight, Cristiano regains the La Liga hattrick record from Messi, breaks Di Stefano's record for Real Madrid hattricks while also surpassing his league tally.

It's the fifth season in a row that Cristiano Ronaldo has scored a hat trick against Seville. They must hate him. :lol:

Messi gives Neymar a penalty when he's virtually neck and neck with CR7 for the golden boot. Not sure if that's generous or stupid.

That's the difference between Messi and Ronaldo though isn't it?

Ronaldo can win all the individual awards he likes, he will still be remembered as a word removed.

Any opinions on the games over the next two days. I fancy a Barcelona v Real Madrid final myself. Ronaldo is back in form so it might sway the balance with the Juventus tie and Barcelona have a lot more attacking threat than when Bayern thrashed them a couple of years back.

edit: wrong thread sorry!

In 2003, Madrid released Vicente del Bosque after he had won the title. Pérez had inherited him. Of the eight managers he has employed since, over 10 years spread across two presidential mandates, only José Mourinho has won the league. More than a billion euros has been spent.

Ramon Calderon (who always has an axe to grind against Perez) makes the point that of all the coaches Real Madrid have employed in their history for longer than 2 seasons, Mourinho is actually the LEAST successful of all time.

 

Obviously this is partly because coaches don't generally last very long but it's also due to another reason and that is that the last few years have coincided with them competing against the greatest club side in history - Pellegrini's team reached 96 points and still couldn't win the league.

 

Ancelloti is an interesting case because he had to come in and pick up the pieces from Mourinho's destructive time in charge, however it's well publicised that his league record, considering the clubs he has been fortunate enough to manage, is terrible. Madrid blew an open chance to win the Spanish League last season and based on the first half of this season they should have had this season's title wrapped up as well.
