AS Editor Alfredo Relaño discusses the "insane initiative" to play Champions League games at the weekends.

As Jorge Valdano told Tomás Roncero a few years ago, when Real Madrid were running the risk of ending their Centenary year trophyless, writes Alfredo Relaño.

It's generally accepted that sincerity is a virtue but not one to boast about as that would be construed as immodest and then we're faced with a very different debate

Sergio Ramos had everything well planned, the game was into the final minutes and with his side winning 1-2, the Camas born defender commits a blatant trip and immediately helps his rival to his feet.

Last night's Copa del Rey clash was a delight to watch, a classic full blooded cup tie. Betis went two goals ahead against a Valencia side who reused to roll over ended up securing a creditable 2-2 draw.
