Real Madrid can expect a hostile reception tonight when they face Oviedo at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The club have imploded over the past fortnight with one player ending up in hospital after a fracas with another, president Florentino Perez calling a snap election and the small matter of losing a Clasico that enabled arch rivals Barcelona to clinch the title.
Madrid fans are traditionally not slow to vent their fury and it could be a difficult night for those on the field, in the dugout and the directors’ box.
If there is some good news, it is that Oviedo are a team that should be beaten with ease.
They prop up the table with relegation back to the Segunda Division already confirmed.
