article_snippet.sent: Real Madrid haven't got going tonight
article_snippet.sent: 39mins: As bad as Real have been, credit must go to Almeria.
article_snippet.sent: credit work rate has been exceptional while credit are passing and moving, not exactly looking like a side who are  sitting just above the relegation zone.
article_snippet.sent: credit have completed 184 passes so far today, which is a decent stat given it's not even half time yet.
article_snippet.sent: Again, nice play from Almeria!
article_snippet.sent: Considering the pace Barcelona were playing at last night this is pretty, er... slow.
article_snippet.sent: Real haven't found their rhythm yet while Almeria are just letting their pass from side to side.
article_snippet.sent: Almeria have quite a bit of the ball early on but unsurprisingly it's Real who almost force the opening.
article_snippet.sent: Real Madrid kicking from left to right in the first half.
