Hasil Lengkap La Liga Jornada ke-18

Real Madrid dan Barcelona mampu lolos dari lubang jarum pada La Liga jornada ke-18. Kendati sukses meraup tiga poin, kedua raksasa Spanyol tersebut baru bisa memastikan kemenangan di akhir-akhir pertandingan.

Di Iberostar, Mallorca benar-benar menghadirkan mimpi buruk bagi El Real.

Kemenangan 2-1 atas Mallorca membuat selisih poin Madrid dengan Barca sempat melebar menjadi delapan angka. Barcelona sukses mengembalikan selisih angka menjadi lima poin setelah menghentikan perlawanan Real Betis 4-2 di Camp Nou.

Jose Mourinho talked to the press the day before facing Ponferradina at the Bernabeu in the return leg of the Copa del Rey Round of 32.

The tie will be left wide open if Ponferradina score first tomorrow and, if their motivation was high at their stadium, I presume it will be even higher at the Bernabeu. They are a quality side that can complicate things for us. I have faith in those of my men who have played less because they've given me reasons to so far. It's not that the others need to rest; these men deserve to play too."

"It's difficult to evaluate at the end of the actual year in football because the new year comes half-way through the season. We've done a good job so far. We top the league table, we've won our six games in the Champions League and also our only match so far in the Copa. We've had six very good months. In another league championship this Real Madrid would easily win the title."

Florentino Perez: "Signing Mourinho is one of the best decisions I've made as President"

The Real Madrid Premier oversaw the traditional Christmas luncheon with members of the media

Realmadrid.com / Translation by Michael J. O'Donnell

Dozens of media professionals attended the Christmas luncheon organised by Real Madrid this afternoon in the Presidential Balcony of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

"I wish health and happiness to all, and that the financial stress that currently affects society ends this year."

Mourinho: "I wouldn't swap the situation we're in with anyone"

"Real Madrid's recent history has seen the team struggle against teams from other divisions and the match against Ponferradina will most likely be complicated"

Diego Jabalquinto / Translation by Michael J. O'Donnel

Jose Mourinho addressed the media the day before facing Ponferradina in the first leg of the Copa del Rey Round of 32. 

"We said neither winning against Barcelona and having a 6-point cushion, nor losing and being tied in points, would make us lose our calm. Winning makes you happier than being defeated, but that's different to losing balance. I wouldn't swap the situation we're in with anyone's: we're the best team in the history of the Champions League group stage and no other side has as many points as us in La Liga, having played one less game in the competition. There are only three possibilities for us: we either draw in points with Barcelona, or top the table with a one or three-point cushion over them. I wouldn't exchange that with anybody."

He billed it as a game his team could not afford to lose and thanks to goals from Raul Meireles and Frank Lampard, Andre-Villas was able to speak afterwards about a win over Man City and a narrowed gap to the top.

A victory against the leaders who had reached December without suffering a league defeat would have been a morale-booster on its own, but coming after wins away at Newcastle and at home to Valencia when the pressure was on, it is a very healthy sign for the weeks ahead.
