As if that Sheriff slap on Tuesday night was not enough, Real Madrid embarrassed themselves once again today, losing to Espanyol 2-1 in the Spanish La Liga.However, the final score doesn’t tell the real story of the game that saw Espanyol’s dominance for the vast part of the match. The underdogs were determined to ruin the day for Carlo Ancelotti and his guys, who have fallen into mediocrity just like their archrival Barcelona.Atletico tarnish guys wearing Barca shirts to reach the top of La LigaWe are witnessing some horrible days for both Spanish giants, stumbling in Europe and domestically against the sides that should never bother them.But that’s the new order.Sheriff stun Real Madrid with unlikely victory at BernabeuWith Karim Benzema being the only player to stay on the expected level, Madrid simply couldn’t avoid another defeat. After trailing by two due to some horrible defending, they tried to bounce back.
