Riera anger starts Madrid link

Albert Riera, the Espanyol winger who formerly played for Man City, has revealed he was very angry at being on the bench for the 0-0 draw with Barcelona. Riera has now been linked again with a summer move to Madrid; this time not just to Real but to Atletico Madrid too.

Riera said: "I was again a substitute. I am not going to be the one that gets upset now and complains because the only one who would be harmed would be myself.

"It is true that nobody can guarantee a place to me, for that reason I am not surprised to be substitute for another week.

"I still have dreams of going to the Euros."
