Real Madrid showing their fight

As much as the penalty call hurt, especially since Madridistas thought they were the ones who were going to get a penalty at first, the heartbreak of dropped points was mitigated by the fact that Real Madrid fought their asses off to get one point. This team never quits, as they have the fighting mentality of the biggest club in the world and one with multiple players who three-peated the Champions League.

You just know that Los Blancos are going to come out firing against Granada to make a statement. They can win the league. They know that they *should* win, even with all the injuries. Some fans will make excuses about injuries or the referees or anything else under the sun, but the players themselves know the job they need to do and know that the pressure and expectations come with the territory. At Real Madrid, there are no excuses. You must show up and win.

I fully expect Real to turn in a professional display, tough opponent or not. Road game or not. All of that is noise to this group of players. They will overcome and will show their fighting spirit at Los Carmenes this week. And Madridistas can look forward to cheering their team on from home, supporting the fight their players bring to the pitch.
