Luck can win you 3 points but the League?

Real Madrid played Getafe on Sunday in a return for Bernd Schuster to Getafe. In terms of the result Schuster might be happy with walking away from 19th placed Getafe with 3 points but this video link comprehensively shows that Laudrup's men were far more superior through the match.

The TV rights issue still rages on i believe as Gol TV did not show the Madrid match. I am not writing anymore than that Real don't seem to be playing anywhere close to how defending champions should be playing.
Fall of a Hero
Barcelona on the other hand seem to be getting inspiration from the media controversey surrounding Ronaldinho that they are putting in some brilliant performances. The lack of Ronaldinho in the team has actually given Henry more space to play in a roaming role and his connection with Messi on field has been terrific. Henry had opened his Barca scoring account during the Champions League first match and the much wanted big performance was put on by the frenchman for Rijkaard against Levante with a hat trick in a 4-1 drubbing.
Though Ronaldinho has come out and claimed to the media that he is going no where and he will prove everyone wrong and will answer the media claims with his performance on the ground. He is indeed getting into the team list for the mid week champions league fixture. This is the ideal time for Barca to get rid of Ronaldinho because they do not want to be a team whose fortune depends on the Brazilians form. If they are to sell him it will happen during the winter transfer window. A good result towards the end of season might up seeing Ronaldinho extend his stay at the Spanish giants.

There are realistically i think two suitable clubs for Ronaldinho. Chelsea has the money to buy him and AC Milan have a long interest in him. Now with the press complaining a lot and with all the complains on his form, if it is a winter move, it will be Chelsea as i dont think Milan can cough up that kind of Money. If it is a Summer move Milan might think of selling Kaka to Madrid and getting Ronaldnho. If he does not quit Barca in winter or the followig Summer transfer window, then i think he will continue for atleast one more year....
