Madrid famously squandered two consecutive titles in 1992 and 1993 away to Tenerife, then coached by another Real great, Jorge Valdano, handing the trophy to Barcelona on the final day. Michel stirred controversy in a radio interview last month when he declared "I'm a much bigger Madrid fan than Valdano". However, Michel, who oversaw a surprise 2-0 win over Barca in April, has promised to treat the game like any other: "It's my Madrid but also my Malaga. In his last media appearance, though, he said Malaga had beaten Barca and could spring a surprise on Madrid too. "We're all playing as we are thanks to the work of Zidane, thanks to his rotations we can now win the double," midfielder Isco told reporters after a sensational display against Celta.
