How are you?

Well, I've just been relegated as well.

Oviedo went down last night mathematically.

That's two relegations.

I've been relegated twice in one go.

Yeah, it is.

Yeah.

No, it hasn't been very good.

We're on our third manager.

The second manager didn't win any games at all and also caused a bit of a kind of a social, what do you call it, a social fault line, shall we say, with the fans because they sacked the guy that took them up and they brought back the guy that had walked out on them a year earlier.

So it didn't go down very well.

Unlike Oviedo, who have gone down very well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, they have.

I mean, and the way the Clasico played out really was the way the season played out that Madrid really couldn't lay a glove on them.

It felt relatively comfortable from Barcelona.

They've not been quite as exciting this season as they were last year.

They've not scored as many goals.

They've tightened up a little bit at the back.

I know that's hard to believe for those who watch them in Europe and look at that high line and we continue to talk about it, but they have been better at the back.
