Primera Division 2011 2012 Barcelona Atletico Madrid

Saturday 24 September
Camp Nou,
Barcelona 

The Spanish League has never been in a more interesting stage after 4 rounds in recent years. Current champions FC Barcelona are held twice to be at 4th while the other biggest team Real Madrid lost one and drew one in first four to be at a distant 7th. At this stage, a match between two of the biggest teams at the league is really a mouth watering prospect. FC Barcelona hosting Atletico Madrid, who have a great start to the season for a change, is the biggest match to look forward to this weekend.

Grandes Remontadas en el Bernabeu: Uefa 1984 1985 Real Madrid Inter Milan

Infierno en El Bernabeu

El último obstáculo para la final fue el Inter de Milán liderado por el alemán Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, el irlandés Liam Brady y el italiano Alessandro Altobelli. Los dos últimos lograron los goles del triunfo del Inter en la ida disputada en San Siro. La derrota, el mal juego del Real Madrid y el escándalo en un hotel milanés tras el partido costaron la destitución del técnico Amancio Amaro. El habitual ‘apagafuegos’ de la Casa Blanca, Luis Molowny, se hizo cargo del equipo para vencer a los italianos en la vuelta por tres goles a cero, tantos de Santillana (2) y Míchel.

League Cup 1979 1980 Nottingham Forest Wolverhampton Final

15 March 1980
Wembley Stadium London

Referee David Richardson
Attendance 96,527

As both League Cup and European Cup holders, Nottingham Forest had entered the match as clear favourites. Indeed, victory here would have given the club a hat trick of League Cup wins, and they would go on to retain the European Cup at the end of the season. By contrast, Wolves' last silverware had been their League Cup win six years earlier and they had finished a lowly 18th in the First Division in the previous campaign, whilst Forest had ended runners-up.
Living up to their tag of favourites, Nottingham Forest took the game to Wolves and created several opportunities, all denied by Bradshaw in the Wolves goal, as Francis shot across him and Gray's mazy run through was just halted. Birtles' driven attempt at a scrambled corner was also parried away by the keeper, while Wolves' attacks largely came to nothing.
