Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has conceded it would now be "practically impossible" for his side to win the Primera Division title.
A late strike from Miguel De las Cuevas saw Sporting claim a 1-0 win at the Bernabeu on Saturday night and bring to an end Mourinho's remarkable record of not having lost a home league game as a coach in over nine years.
The loss also ended Madrid's perfect record at the Bernabeu this season, and allowed Barcelona to stretch their lead to eight points as they defeated Villarreal 1-0 at El Madrigal.
I think barca deserves it more, there a great team.
Yup Barca deserve everything they entartain play positively every game right philospophy team to admire
Cannot believe mourinho lost his home record to Sporting. He's gonna be sulking for a while
Maybe Valencia take the 2nd place....and Spurs knock them out in CL quaterf;-) Then he is not talking about Barca but need to talk about himself and his team
It's hard to slip to 3rd place specially for Madrid, thy are still fighting for the first one.
