MADRID: Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari has described as “curious” Barcelona having an extra day’s rest before next week’s Copa del Rey clash between the two sides, the first of two El Clasico derbies in four days. “We find it funny,” Solari said at a press conference on Saturday. Ramos subsequently insisted that was not the case but UEFA could extend his punishment if they feel the booking was pre-meditated. “You can see (it was not deliberate) in the action itself and Sergio cleared it up afterwards. “Last week we dropped points and the gap grew but we have to reduce it again,” Solari said.
