'No hay nada como una buena remontada en el Bernabéu' -butragueno

there's nothing like a good comeback at the bernabeu.

fans would forever debate about the best way to beat your rival. a 5-0 drubbing, a 3-2 comeback victory, or a 1-0 victory, with the winner scored in the dying moments of the game.

all the above would be sweet. victory is always sweet. but i agree with phil ball. the fighting spirit embodied in comebacks implicitly imply weakness: a good team would never have gone down in the first place.

that's why i always ask, yes, we show tremendous spirit to stage a comeback, but why do we always make it difficult for ourselves in the first place?

we may be the best team if you look at the matches between the top four, second to man utd if you consider the top ten, and we are fourth and twenty plus points behind if you consider all twenty teams. just not good enough.

but at least we don't lose in front of our fans on the day the trophy is presented to us. what kind of champions is that?
