Alfredo Relaño looks back over Real Madrid's weekend trip to Pamplona, arguing that Los Blancos' complaints over the conditions were not justified.

Club officials spent the day complaining that the game should not be played. No reward for a trip Madrid didn't want to make in the first place, writes Alfredo Relaño.
