It's now officially four crucial months to the Euro 2012 and following Fabio Capello's resignation last night, England has no manager to lead them to glory! That's exactly what Jack Wilshere groaned about ("Euro's is just around the corner and we have no manager?

Although we realise this 'look' probably wasn't by her choice, Sami Khedira's model/WAG, Lena Gercke, walked the runway at Rebekka Ruetz's Autumn/Winter 2012 fashion show with two of the most terrifying Scouse Brows we've ever seen.

Here we go again.

The world's top rivalry takes center stage when Real Madrid hosts Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals (4 p.m., GOLTV/ESPN3.com), the first of two meetings in a week's time that will determine which club advances to the semifinals.

Real Madrid was stunned and in serious trouble after conceding two set-piece goals in the opening half of its Copa del Rey Round of 16 first-leg encounter with Malaga Tuesday.

All it took was one 10-minute stretch for the cup holders to turn things around. Sami Khedira, Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema scored between the 68th and 78th minutes to completely change the club's fortunes and tournament outlook.

José Mourinho acaba de mostrar mais uma vez que tem a "estrelinha" e o mérito que só está ao alcance dos grandes campeões. Super-favorito no confronto com o Málaga a contar para os oitavos-de-final da Taça do Rei, o Real Madrid viu-se a perder em casa por dois golos de desvantagem aos 29 minutos.

Just this week, in a podcast we never got to post Managing Madrid's Gabe Lezra asked me a question: "Imagine this: Barcelona wins, Real Madrid loses, the lead has been cut to 3. It's the morning of December 11th – how are you feeling?" I no longer remember what answer I gave, but here I am today in exactly the same question.

So finally we've gotten this game out of the way. After Madrid's Burger King Boys (Getafe) knocked the wind off the sails of Barcelona, opening up a SIX (6!) point lead between us and them, the trolling from Cule trash talkers seems to have gone on overdrive (check out the last few posts at RMFB) – pushing the pre-clasico fever a couple of days too early.

06.11.2011 - Con goles de Cristiano Ronaldo (´22, ´54 penal, ´57), Pepe (´33), Higuaín (´39) y Benzema (´62 + ´80), Real Madrid goleó (7-1) al Osasuna (Ibrahima ´30) en el mediodía madrileño (Santiago Bernabeu), para mantener el liderazgo de la tabla en soledad (28 pts) al cabo de 11 jornadas.

Despite the String of Missed Chances especially in the first half, I would say that we generally played well last night.
Last season, when asked about who I'd like us to face in the Champions League on our way to the final, I asked for the following teams: Olympique Lyonnais, AS Roma, Bayern Munich and Arsenal – I would have asked for Liverpool or Juventus too if possible.

Este martes 25 de Octubre se dio a conocer la primer lista de nomiados al mejor jugador o el premio mejor conocido como balón de oro 2011. En esta primera entrega para beneplacito de los aficionados mexicanos se encuentra Javier Chicharito Hernandez delantero estrella del Manchester United.
La lista definitiva con los 23 jugadores será publicada el 1 de Noviembre, donde se conocerá si el jugador mexicano figura entre los futbolistas más votados por la Comisión de Fútbol, que más adelante, el cinco de diciembre para ser exactos, nombrara a los tres finalistas que buscan el reconocimiento del mejor jugador que se otorgará el próximo nueve de enero del 2012.

Karim Benzema: our very own 'Mr. Champions League
As I watched the UEFA officials crack open the balls to show who our Champions League ‘Groupmates' would be during this stage of the competition a few months ago, the sight of Olympique Lyonnais' logo turning up made me groan ‘them again!

The records indicate that Mourinho's teams do better in their second season under him. Olympique Lyon will agree with the records.They were utterly outplayed and went down by four goals to nothing. Benzema, Sami Khedira, Mesut Ozil and Sergio Ramos made up the demolition squad.

Real Madrid played out to a nice 4-0 victory over Lyon in the Champions League last night and our fabulous Spanish Futbolita, Christina Santos was there, soaking in the action. Que Guay! She was treated to a first class show (from the front row of the Bernabeu, no less) as goals from Benzema, Khedira and Ramos fired the Madridistas to the top of their Champions League group table!

Real Madrid continued their impressive form in the Champions League with a comfortable victory at home against Lyon. Former Lyon striker Karim Benzema again found the net against his old team and second-half strikes from Sami Khedira, Sergio Ramos and a Hugo Lloris own goal sent the home fans away happy.

El Mundo Deportivo reports that midfielder Mesut Ozil has grown increasingly unhappy at Real Madrid and is seeking a way out of the Santiago Bernabéu at the end of the season.

According to the newspaper, Inter Milan have already been in contact and have asked to be kept informed of any developments concerning the German international, although Madrid President, Florentino Pérez, will attempt to get the player to reconsider his position.

It is just talk most likely, but, according to il Milanista Milan are lining up bids for three La Liga players, Sami Khedira and Kaka of Real Madrid and Maxwell. Given the start to the season, it is understandable that the club are looking for alternatives who will solve the team's gaping holes all over the [.

Another interlull upon us no club matches, as the top players are jetting around to join their national sides. There's a full and relatively interesting slate of Euro2012 qualifiers, given the that qualifying group stage finally wraps up on Tuesday: 20 fixtures today, out of which we've picked 5 to keep an eye on, and then 22 more on Tuesday.

Sami Khedira : "Ja ja, Freunde, I'm late for training but Mesut's not turning up, so who cares?"

No, Real Madrid is NOT in Crisis. We are merely in a slump. 5 dropped points over 2 games against La Liga teams whose objective is to stave off relegation is proof of that. Maybe Jose Mourinho's sarcastic remarks prior to the Levante game about just wanting to stay up were taken seriously by the team: prompting them to play as if we were a team battling relegation.

Angel DI(VE) Maria. He earned his nickname last Sunday. The Olympics are next year you Jackass
. 1.0 What have we done? It just HAD to be the absence of Khedira once again that made the difference. Only this time, we weren't talking about the difference between winning by 4-0 or 4-2.

With the UEFA Champions League and Europa League group stages getting underway last week and most European leagues playing midweek games this week, managers across Europe saw their squads' depths tested this weekend, and some sides fared better than others.

If Real Madrid were trying to emulate Barcelona's 8 - 0 win over Osasuna the plan went badly wrong.They went instead and lost 1 - 0 to Levante and also managed to get Sami Khedira sent off towards the end of the first half.
It's back to the drawing board for Mourinho

Well of course, it must be horrible to lose to a team you beat 8-0 in the Copa del Ray last season but that's exactly what happened to Madrid against Levante last night... ¡qué pena!! Khedira got sent off shortly before half-time, which proved to be a huge boost for the home side and Levante capitalised on Madrid's sluggish performance to win 1-0 thanks to Arouna Kone's goal.

Real Madrid have suffered their first Liga defeat of the season after slipping to a surprise 1-0 defeat at Levante after losing Sami Khedira to a 40th-minute red card.

Germany midfielder Khedira received his marching orders upon collecting a second yellow close to half-time, but his team-mates still managed to see more of the ball, only to be caught on the counterattack when Arouna Koné blasted high into the net after being set up by Javi Venta on 68 minutes.

Marcelo shows us what Real Madrid did to Zaragoza: Turn them upside down
Another La Liga game, another goalfest. Another Ronaldo Hat Trick. If no one paid attention to the fact that the team was sporting new away jerseys (I LOVE the Black Kit while the White Home kit has still failed to grow on me), and the energizer bunny with bleach-blonde hair (Coentrao) = the game might as well have been a continuation of last season's La Liga Campaign.

FC Barcelona won this seasons Spanish Super Cup in the end of a sensational match which ended 3-2 in favor of the host at Camp Nou. Two goals from Messi and one from Iniesta took Guardiola to yet another title. The match also some disgraceful scenes at the end courtesy of the fight started by Real madrid players.

The first leg of the Spanish Super Cup of this season ended with a thoroughly entertaining 2-2 draw at the Santiago Bernebeu stadium in Madrid. Realm madrid fans would have been wondering how on earth they failed to save the match, may be how on earth we scored two goals. I haven't seen a Barca side in near memory being so overly dominated especially in the midfield.

Now THAT's what a friendly's supposed to be like!. Instead of a lone insane fan willing to charge a moving golf-cart, you get hoardes of fans putting a stop to the operations of a shopping mall as they trail not pretty boy Cristiano Ronaldo... but Jose Mourinho (who supposedly insisted that George Clooney would be the best man to play him in a biopic).

Real Madrid continued its impressive pre-seaon with its six victories out of six preseason games as they thrashed Chinese side Guangzhou 7-1.

Just six minutes after the kick-off, Sami Khedira sent the stadium wild when he opened the scoring as he headed home a fantastic cross from Karim Benzema.

If everyone of you thought that players who play in the Makalele role do not really need to improve, then think again. Even though it is a pretty non glamorous role, Semi Khedira believes that he can improve himself and further cement his place in this Real Madrid line up. Well, I have some news [.

If Real Madrid were a deck of cards, new signing Fabio Coentrao would be the Joker. There has been much speculation on what Mourinho's Madrid was going to look like for the 2011-2012 season. Many had speculated that Mourinho was just about to return to the use of the Trivote (the 4-3-3) at Real Madrid.
