Going into the weekend it really felt (or maybe I wanted it to?) like Real Madrid were about to enter full-blown crisis mode. Turns out I was wrong. Higuain scored 2 goals a few minutes apart and gave them the derby over Getafe. Guti stayed out of the squad and the bad blood with Pellegrini appears to be there still, but with the three points and Barcelona getting turning a win over Osasuna into a draw via a last minute own goal Madrid are now only one point out of first. Spanish football looks different today than a few days back.
And this week will be huge. A win away in Milan would put Madrid in a very safe position in the Champion's League. Meanwhile Barcelona take on Rubin Kazan in Russia with much more riding on the game than anyone thought when the schedule was released. A single point would essentially assure Sevilla's passage to the next round. Interesting times.

- I have this blog to write and rant about football. There really isn't a main area of concentration but my favorite teams are River Plate, Inter-Milan, and the Argentine national team so there will be a lot relating to them. Serie A, Premiership, La Liga, Primera Argentina, and international football will account for most of the posts on here.
