The dejected look on Cristiano Ronaldo’s face at the final whistle of his Real Madrid side’s 1-0 crushing defeat over minnows Osasuna last Sunday told you all you need to know about their waning La Liga title hopes as they slipped 7 points behind fierce rivals Barcelona – sitting comfortably in first place in the La Liga table. Jose Mourinho’s side looked average through-out and despite the occasional bit of magic from new German addition Mesut Ozil – the only Madrid player to come out with any credit from the game, Madrid struggled to impose themselves on the match. The loss will come as even more of a bitter blow after Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona eased to a 3-0 victory over newly promoted Hercules – coincidently the only team to have beat them this La Liga campaign.
