Real Madrid have descended into utter chaos and confusion. The ”Greatest Club in the World”, as they like to be called, are quickly become the greatest laughing stock of Planet Football. On Saturday night, the ”Galacticos” struggled at home to beat minnows Getafe 1-0, a result that took them up to fourth in the Spanish Liga.
The sound of knives being sharpened could be heard ominously in Madrid on Wednesday, following Real’s shock Champions Cup elimination at the hands of modest Monaco. Coach Carlos Queiroz is the predictable target in a season that promised so much but has gone sour so quickly.
