The Spanish goalkeeper knows that the favourable result for Real Madrid is that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 lose points, and hopes that Atletico Madrid beats them in their La Liga fixture.
This season Barcelona have dominated the Spanish La Liga since the very beginning.
Last season, Los Blancos were able to dethrone Josep Guardiola’s Barcelona, after they had been dominating the Spanish league for three consecutive years.
However, Jose Mourinho was able to play the right cards throughout the last season and the Portuguese mentor helped his side win the Spanish La Liga after beating Barcelona at the Nou Camp later on in the season.
The only thing left to accomplish was the UEFA Champions League and Real Madrid did come close to reaching the final, but they unluckily  lost the game against Bayern Munich a and got disqualified at a crucial stage in the competition.
This season, however, Real Madrid do not look to be the same.
The Portuguese mentor, Jose Mourinho, has made a few signings but the defence is still vulnerable and the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 boss needs new players in the defensive area.
Real Madrid’s arch-rivals, Barcelona, are the ones leading the charts at the moment and La Blaugrana would like and maintain their lead at the top as Los Blancos are 11 points behind them at the moment.
The second-placed team is Atletico Madrid, local city rivals for Real Madrid, and Los Blancos are currently behind them as well.
Therefore, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 recently revealed that he would want Barcelona to lose a few points against Atletico Madrid as it will allow Los Blancos to catch up on their top spot easily.
“Obviously I would like both of them to lose because they are ahead of us in the standings,” Casillas commented. “But that is not possible. Therefore by personal interest, what is more desirable is that Barca lose points.”
Real Madrid recently won 3-2 against Valldolid and the Catalan giants was easy.
Moreover, Barcelona won their weekend game against Real Betis, a match which proved to be really tough for the Spanish giants, and it finished 2-1 in favour of the Catalans, with both the goals coming from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, who also managed to beat Gerd Muller’s
all-time goal-scoring record in a single year and surpassed him to reach the 86 mark.
