Valencia last night was a nice surprise, it is very good to get RM feel more vulnerable because they usually don't play great either, they just win and keep going. If they fear the loss a little more, it must impact them negatively (like not trusting 93rd Ramos-goals or Ref-gifts when needed). Their players usually get physical and frustrated with the situation which could lead to more suspensions and so on. Most of our players usually just look apathetic when they underperform, which is not better, but RM's reaction could hurt them, and now we should be motivated to fight for our lives at Sunday!
The (missing) pens + cards obviously show that refs are madridistas and that it will be uphill to turn this league around. But players should know this, be smart about and use it as a motivation (then we fans can do the complaining
).
