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."

Jane the Virgin Season Finale Recap: The Wedding of Jane Gloriana Villanueva

Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo. If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j...

Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, Battle of the Bastards   CREDIT:  HBO   O h now, that was VERY impressive. And by “impressive” we mean gruelling, cathartic and upsetting. By the end of the Battle of the Bastards and the Jon Snow v Ramsay Bolton showdown over Winterfell   we felt as if we’d crawled through a freezing quagmire, climbed a wall of cadavers and gasped for breath as a dozen dying men sat on our faces .  Which, oddly enough, is exactly what befell Jon as the grumpy saviour negotiated the grandest mass battle Game of Thrones has yet mounted for our enjoyment/terror/disgust Tormund Giantsbane in Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, Battle of the Bastards A  cast of hundreds, a budget of millions, flayed men roasting on an open fire – season four’s penultimate episode had it all.
