Uruguayan international defender Jorge Fucile has reportedly welcomed interest from both Liverpool
and Chelsea.
The Reds were linked with a move for the player in the summer, and have again emerged on the radar
in the past week as Kenny Dalglish looks to add some strength-in-depth to his defence.
Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola is refusing to read too much into a 3-1 derby success over
arch-rivals Real Madrid, with the title still up for grabs.
The reigning Primera Liga champions returned to the top of the table on Saturday as they picked
up three priceless points at Santiago Bernabeu.
Jose Mourinho believes the outcome of Saturday's Clasico could have been different had Real
Madrid not wasted some glorious opportunities.
Karim Benzema fired them in front after Victor Valdes scuffed a clearance and the Barca defence
were unable to clear their lines. Real had chances to double their lead during an end-to-end
opening half-an-hour, with Cristiano Ronaldo uncharacteristically wasteful in front of goal.
What are the odds Arsenal are the only Prem side in the Champions League's last 16?
Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day
Midweek results made those who call the Prem the best league in the world look silly – that
title surely still belongs to the Human League. Many have argued that Spain's Primera Liga is
over-rated because only two clubs can win it, but that makes it twice as good as the Premier
League, which only Man City can win.

Rayo Vallecano have confirmed that a number of Premier League clubs have been attending their
recent games.
Reports suggest that Manchester United, Liverpool and Cheslea have been checking on Rayo's midfield
ace Michu, while Sunderland, Fulham and Everton were also said to be present.
Michu only joined Rayo in the summer from Celta Vigo, but he has impressed with five goals from
midfield this term.

While he may not be having much of an impact on the pitch for Chelsea, striker Fernando Torres
looks to have created a stir off it, courtesy of an interview he gave to Spain's Primera Liga
website last week.
In the interview, the out-of-form striker is reported to have claimed that his older Chelsea
team-mates are too slow.
Liverpool youngster Dani Pacheco looks poised to join Spanish outfit Rayo Vallecano on a
season-long loan.
A source close to the Primera Liga outfit claim a deal is almost done and that the promising
forward will return to his homeland on a deal that will run until June 2012.
It is claimed that the 20-year-old will arrive in Madrid for a medical on Monday and to complete
the relevant paperwork.

As the dust settles on Barcelona's fantastic 3-1 demolition of Manchester United in the
Champions League Final, and the national side recently so effortlessly thumped the United States
4-0, one thing is for certain – Spain are the best footballing nation in the world at this moment
