Crisis? What Crisis? Look At Madrid

Last updated : 22 September 2005 By Footy Mad - Editor
Michael Owen says "lay off Newcastle, what about Madrid", as he believes his former employers at Real Madrid are experiencing an early season crisis.
Real have lost three games in a week, with Liga defeats to Celta Vigo and Espanyol sandwiching a heavy 3-0 loss to Lyon in the UEFA Champions League.
"They've had a sticky start, with the two league defeats and a heavy defeat in Europe," Owen told Sky Sports News. "That's not good for Real, three defeats is crisis time in Spain because they are so passionate and Real are used to winning. Three defeats isn't a very good start but I'm sure they'll pick up."
