Real hypocrites

■ WE all saw the ‘A por la 14’ shirts that Real Madrid had printed in anticipation of victory over Manchester City, that proclaimed they were going all out for their 14th triumph in the European Cup.

We heard an awful lot last week about Real Madrid’s wonderful history in the competition, too. We heard a little less about how it was only last year that Madrid and a series of co-conspirators tried to kill the Champions League with their European Super League plan.

Lest we forget, they are still trying to kill it.

Their semi-final with City produced some of the most memorable football in the competition’s history but sometimes greed supersedes everything.
