Mourinho kisses the Spanish La Liga title goodbye?
The Spanish league took a new route on Sunday as Real Madrid suffered the second loss of the season.
The Los Blancos were on a good run and were in the race to win the Spanish La Liga title.
However, a strong defensive and affective Osasuna side was able to hold Mourinho’s men down.
It was a shocker for the Spanish football fans http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AS-Real-c38478 Madrid looked to be a strong team in the league.
The question that comes to everyone’s mind is whether the Los Blancos are suffering because of their manager?
The Portuguese tactician was recently involved in a war of words with the club’s vice president http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Valdano.
It was known to public that Mourinho wanted to sign a striker for the Spanish club but the club’s vice president did not agree to it.
However, later it was realised by the club that they do need a replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 and the injured Gonzalo Higuain and the Manchester City left-out, Emanuel Adebayor, was signed.
Real Madrid was involved in a tough clash with Sevilla during the Copa del Rey semi final.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan coach warned the fans that he would not be able to win the Spanish La Liga fixture against Osasuna because of the tough clashes with Atletico Madrid and Sevilla.
However, the team that was presented by the manager looked to be strong.
The game that took place in Reyno de Navarra did not come without an upset and the home team managed to win the game with the help of a goal from Camunas that he scored during the 62nd minute.
The Spanish Giants started the season off slowly as they faced a strong http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Laudrop’s Mallorca while being away from home.
The Los Blancos drew the game as their archrivals, Barcelona, won their game against Racing Santander.
However, later the Catalan giants lost their first home fixture shockingly against Hercules – a newly promoted Primera Division side.
However, the Spanish Champions then faced Real Madrid in the Nou Camp and won the game 5-0 to take the top spot in the Spanish La Liga.
It was the first defeat that was faced by Jose Mourinho during the Spanish La Liga. With that defeat, the Los Blancos were only two points behind Barcelona. However, worst was to follow after the 5-0 defeat.
After impressing the Spanish crowd with their extraordinary strikers, the Los Blancos managed to keep themselves in the title race.
However, the La Blaugrana did not lose a single game either and kept themselves alive at the top of the table. The Los Blancos then faced a bottom of the table Almeria who were playing under a new coach after their 0-8 defeat to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
The match was expected to end in a cricket score for Real Madrid but Almeria managed to pull off an upset and drew the game 1-1.
With two precious points lost by Jose Mourinho, the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid increased to four points.
On Sunday, Real Madrid faced a weak Osasuna side while being away from home. Real Madrid were against expected to do wonders especially after Barcelona won their tough fixture 0-3 against Hercules – the only team that defeated the Catalan Giants this season.
However, Real Madrid did exactly the opposite and rather than winning some points they lost all three of them as they lost the game 1-0 while being away from home.
With Real Madrid losing the game Osasuna, they are now seven points Barcelona. With such a huge gap between the league leaders, it is definitely going to be impossible for the Los Blancos to touch Barcelona now.
Jose Mourinho, after the loss against Osasuna, has definitely kissed the Spanish La Liga title goodbye as the La Blaugrana don’t really look to be losing any games.
They have won all the games while being away from home and at home they have lost only one and that was against Hercules.
The only draw that they came out with was against Mallorca.
Barcelona is definitely in their stride and they definitely look to be winning the title this season as well!
