    Real Madrid Capitalise On Barcelona Vs Atletico Madrid’s Barren Draw

    Real Madrid closed to within three points of La Liga leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid when a Pepe header secured a laboured 1-0 win at mid-table Espanyol on Sunday.
    .
    Barca and Atletico drew 0-0 in Saturday’s top-of-the- table clash at the Calderon and Real took full advantage to end the first half of the season on 47 points from 19 matches, with the leaders on 50 and Barca top on goal difference.
    .
    It was hardly a vintage performance from Real at Espanyol’s Cornella-El Prat stadium in Barcelona, with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema out of sorts.
    .
    It was left to Ronaldo’s Portugal teammate Pepe to secure the win when the centre back was left unmarked in the 55th minute and headed a Luka Modric free kick into the net.
    .
    Espanyol barely troubled Real keeper Diego Lopez and Real should have doubled their lead late on when Ronaldo sliced a shot wide with the goal at his mercy.
    .
    The woes of bottom side Real Betis deepened when they were beaten 2-1 at home to Osasuna as both sides had a player sent off and Betis forward Ruben Castro missed a penalty.
    .
    Rayo Vallecano, one place above Betis in 19th, pulled five points clear of the struggling Seville-based side, level on 16 with Real Valladolid, thanks to a 1-0 win at Madrid-based rivals Getafe.

      Well that was what they were paid to do and they did it very well. I still don’t see them winning the league though.
