written on Carvajal’s face. Three defeats
in seven days, all of them at the Santiago
Bernabeu, had seen Madrid knocked out
of every competition, one after the other.
First, on a Wednesday night, Barcelona
had beaten them 3-0 in the semi-final,
second leg of the Spanish Cup. Then on
the Saturday night, Barca had beaten
them 1-0 in the league, leaving Madrid
12 points behind and out of the title race.
That result also put Barcelona ahead in
the all-time clasico count for the first
time in 87 years: 96-95.
Then, on the Tuesday night, Ajax had
come to the Bernabeu and knocked
them out of the Champions League.
