Madrid takes on opponents off the field after game postponed (The Associated Press)

Real Madrid's only opponent this week has been off the field. Unable to play over the weekend because its Spanish league game at Celta Vigo was postponed by of bad weather, the Spanish leaders traded blows with a local mayor who accused them of improperly pressuring to keep the game scheduled despite security concerns. Upset with the mayor's comments, Madrid took the time to release an official note condemning the ''inappropriate'' and ''totally inaccurate'' statements.
