INot sure if that is a case of there being partisan papers for specific big teams in spain/italy/portugal, but I'm pretty sure managers over here wouldn't be able to get away with saying...
Yeah pretty much, *Marca *which is Spain's biggest selling football paper has a traditional bias towards Real Madrid, as has the other Madrid based publication AS. Mundo Deportivo is a largely pro-Barca publication. That said despite Marca's obvious bias towards Los Meringues I still read it regularly (I am married to a Spaniard and sort of follow her families local team, Malaga).
But back to the overall point of your post I have to agree, plus i have to add that Manuel Preciado is awesome, a real character.
