Is Iker Casillas ever going
to let another goal in? The Real Madrid keeper's performance against neighbours
Atlético reached new heights, and the last one that was scored against
him in the league dates back to 1st December, seven games ago. Even the man
himself now wants to let one in just to stop people talking about it, although
we are sure he would like Van the man or another of his colleagues to get a
couple first!
Casillas's was one of five
clean sheets this weekend, but as Víctor Valdés was also one of
them the Barça keeper still tops the chart. Elsewhere Diego Alves
(Almería), Ricardo (Osasuna) and Diego López (who came in for
Viera at Villarreal) also kept their goals against column to zero. Elsewhere
Moyà returned in place of Lux at Mallorca, and Kike Casilla made his
debut for Espanyol, coming on for the injured Lafuente. Kameni remember is away
at the African Nations Cup, and Espanyol are considering whether to make an
emergency signing as Lafuente is likely to be out for six weeks or so.
Finally an update on the
situation at Deportivo (see last week's report), where Aouate and Munúa
have still not reconciled their differences. Aouate's suspension has been
revoked by the club though (although he is still not back at training), and the
case is going through the criminal courts, with Munúa facing a possible
fine for his physical attack on his team mate. (21.01.08) |
