Sergio Ramos: Real Madrid captain calm despite lead over Barcelona



Barcelona's Lionel Messi reacts at the final whistle after Real Madrid win El Clasico
Real Madrid remain unbeaten in La Liga since 27 February after securing a draw at Barcelona
Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has warned his team-mates not to get carried away despite the club's healthy lead at the top of La Liga.
The defender scored in stoppage-time to snatch a 1-1 draw at Barcelona on Saturday to ensure the leaders stayed six points clear of their rivals.
Real have not won the league title since 2012 under Jose Mourinho.
"It's better to have it in our own hands than depend on others," said Spain international Ramos, 30.
"We mustn't get carried away because there's still a long way to go in La Liga."
Real have one more La Liga game at home to Deportivo La Coruna on 10 December before the European champions fly to Japan to compete at the 2016 Fifa Club World Cup.
Barca finished one point ahead of Real to win the Spanish top-flight title last season.
Saturday's result at the Nou Camp could be critical should the title race come down to head-to-head records.
Real and Barcelona are scheduled to meet next in La Liga at the Bernabeu on 23 April 2017.

Ramos, a World Cup winner in 2010, added: "The points difference is reward for the hard work we've been doing since the start of the season.
"The hard work has reaped rewards and it's better to get one point than nothing at all.
"We have to keep picking up points and maintaining the gap from Barcelona."

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album,  Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the  New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the  Channel Orange  follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...

Why My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade' Was The 'Sgt Pepper' Of The Emo Generation

Secret (or not so secret) noughties emos rejoice! Grab some black hair dye and vow to disown your parents all over again! Because  My Chemical Romance  look  set to reissue an expanded version of 'The Black Parade' , their third and most successful album, for its 10 year anniversary (yes, you really are  that  old).  The news last night, stoked by a  mysterious video  teased on the band's long-dormant Twitter page, was enough to rev some sections of the internet into a frenzy. But what's all the fuss about? Well, the album in question wasn't just the band's best, nor just most succinct album of its genre, it was one of the most important records of the last decade.  An  "ostentatious concept-album-cum-rock-opera about death" , as we described it upon its release, the record is a bombastic tour-de-force that took cues from Green Day's 'American Idiot' (both albums were recorded with the same producer) but sounded nothing like its...
