Founded in March 1902, Los Blancos had never previously started an official match without a Spanish player in the team. But away to Villarreal in LaLiga on Saturday, coach Carlo Ancelotti picked an XI featuring three Frenchman, two Brazilians, two Germans, a Croat, a Belgian, an Austrian and a Uruguayan. However, there were six Spaniards on the bench for Los Blancos: Jesus Vallejo, Nacho, Marco Asensio, Lucas Vazquez, Dani Ceballos and third-choice goalkeeper Luis Lopez. This fixture had ended in a draw in each of the five previous seasons and Real needed at least a point this time to move above fierce rivals Barcelona in the table, with the Catalans in action away to Atletico Madrid on Sunday night. But Ancelotti&#8217;s side ended up losing 2-1 and remain in second place, level on points with Barcelona for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Away to Villarreal in LaLiga, Real Madrid have fielded an XI with no Spanish players for the first time in the club&#8217;s 121-year history<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[417,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-473604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-champions-league","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=473604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473604\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=473604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=473604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=473604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
