He was seen speaking to umpire Mohamed Lahyani about his team’s 0-0 home draw with Real Betis on SaturdayRafael Nadal was overheard via courtside microphones venting his frustration over his soccer club Real Madrid’s disappointing weekend result. Nadal, a Real fan despite his uncle Miguel Angel making over 200 appearances for arch-rivals Barcelona, was seen speaking to umpire Mohamed Lahyani about his team’s 0-0 home draw with Real Betis on Saturday and was less than impressed with what he saw. “Hala Madrid, but this year’s not so good, another 0-0 and we’re two points off the top,” Lahyani told Nadal, who shook his head and replied that it was “a disaster, a disaster”. “Amongst other things,” said Nadal with a sigh. Real’s 0-0 draw with Betis means they sit in second place on 71 points, two behind league leaders Atletico Madrid.
