MADRID: Barcelona sailed back to the top of the table on Saturday and trouble returned to Real Madrid after they endured their first La Liga defeat of the season at newly-promoted Real Mallorca. Real Madrid's French coach Zinedine Zidane gestures during the Spanish league football match RCD Mallorca against Real Madrid CF at the Iberostar estadi stadium in Palma de Mallorca on October 19, 2019. All the while, discussions continued over the Clasico against Real Madrid, which is now expected to go ahead in December. The only blot on the result though was an injury to Sergi Roberto, who will be a doubt for the Champions League game at Slavia Prague on Wednesday after hurting his left knee. He will now miss the Champions League game at home to Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.- AFP
