Ronaldo Left out on trip to Depertivo After defeat by Barcelona

         Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of the Real Madrid squad for Wednesday's trip to Deportivo la Coruna as coach Zinedine Zidane maintained his rotation policy despite defeat by Barcelona on Sunday.
        It is the third consecutive La Liga away game Ronaldo has not been included in the Real squad.
However, the European champions have recorded victories at Leganes and Sporting Gijon without the World Player of the Year.
         Gareth Bale and captain Sergio Ramos are unavailable through injury and suspension respectively.
Meanwhile, midfielder Toni Kroos is also rested.
         Raphael Varane returns from nearly a month out with a hamstring problem to ease the blow of Ramos's absence at the heart of the defence.
         Madrid and Barca are locked on 75 points each at the top of La Liga.
However, Real still have matters in their own hands as they have a game in hand on their title rivals.

El Clasico : Is Lionel Messi better than Christiano Ronaldo?

            The ever awaited El Clasico has come and gone and Messi have once again proved to be a better player than Ronaldo after he scored two goals and Ronaldo couldn't put a ball through Barcelona's goal post.
              Weaving through a mass of defenders in the game’s dying moments, the Barcelona magician had found a pocket of space in the box and received the ball on his left foot. He didn’t hesitate, locking in with the side of his boot and, with power and focus, drove the ball just off the fingertips of the Madrid keeper and into the net.
             The goal, the 500 of Messi’s Barcelona career, gave Barcelona the win and silenced the thousands on hand in Santiago Bernabeu. It was a goal we’ve come to expect from the genius from Argentina, a goal we’d seen in some form or another hundreds of times before.

Drawing of Messi Kissing C.Ronaldo surfaces just days before El Clasico

             A graffiti portraying Lionel Messi on tiptoes kissing arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo has caused a stir in Barcelona, just two days before the seaside city's team faces Real Madrid in a crux game.
              The graffiti on a bus stop in central Barcelona shows the Argentina and Barcelona star embracing and tenderly kissing his Portuguese Real Madrid rival, a football at their feet and a rose in Messi's hand, drawing many camera-wielding tourists.

              The artist Tvboy said he had been inspired by the fact that Sunday's El Clasico game happens to fall on April 23 – which is when people in Barcelona and the wider region of Catalonia celebrate their very own Valentine's Day.
                "I'm looking for a message of hope and positivity. With all the clashes there have been in football between hooligans, I want to say: 'be calmer'," he told AFP.
                     "Messi and Cristiano are opponents, I know they would never kiss. But art must portray an ideal world, it must astonish, provoke."
Tvboy is an Italian from Milan who has lived for 13 years in Barcelona, whose streets have become his canvas.
                  His latest project dubbed "Love is blind" started during the US election campaign, during which he drew Republican candidate and current president Donald Trump kissing his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton.
