:: Late goal shocks Madrid

Real Madrid lost their First knockout round Champions League tie against Liverpool FC on Wednesday night. Yossi Benayoun secured his team a 1-0 victory, heading a free kick past Casillas after being left completely unmarked in Madrid's box. Christoph Metzelder did not get a chance to play. The second leg match will take place on March 10.

:: Real Madrid struggles along

Real Madrid earned three more championship points with a rather tedious 1-0 victory over Racing on Saturday night, Gonzalo Higuaín scoring the only goal for the home side in minute 48. Throughout the second half, the team from Santander seemed much closer to equalising than Madrid to extending the lead, but despite a fair number of chances, the score board remained unaltered. Christoph Metzelder, who hasn't been able to train with the team due to back problems for over a week, was left out of the squad for this match altogether.

:: Raúl draws level with Di Stéfano

Scoring his 307th goal for Real Madrid on Saturday against Numancia, Raúl González Blanco drew level with the club's record holder, Alfredo Di Stéfano. Los Blancos' captain put his team in front in minute 48, and Arjen Robben finished Numancia off only eight minutes later.

Christoph Metzelder was absent from the squad for the match in Soria due to back problems that had cropped up on Friday; it is unclear so far how long he will be sidelined.

:: Same margin, but less liga left

Real Madrid beat Deportivo La Coruña 1-0 in a rather dull Sunday night match for which Fabio Cannavaro recovered just in time, enabling Juande Ramos to repeat his starting eleven while he left Christoph Metzelder on the bench. Raúl scored the only goal of the evening, and while the Madrid captain never tires of pointing out that "there's a lot of liga left", one cannot help noticing that Barcelona is quite easily maintaining their comfortable margin, whereas there's less liga left every week.

:: With a little help from the ref

Real Madrid was in no position to turn down the presents offered to them in the match against bottom of the table team Osasuna on Sunday. What with referee Alfonso Pérez Burrull refusing Osasuna's Juanfran two penalties while offering him yellow cards instead, and goalie Roberto basically refusing to save Sergio Ramos's shot on his goal, Juande's slightly shaken team won 3-1 in the end (goals from Nekounam – minute 19, Ramos – 49, Higuaín – 63, and Robben – 92). However, with Barcelona still diligently doing their own homework, los blancos have come no nearer to closing the 12-point-gap that separates them from the la liga leaders.
