So did anything out of the ordinary happen in Madrid last night after that particularly NASTY display? Were any windows broken or fights started after/before the match? What was the result?

Saludos, MadridMan

Don't know about any trouble at the match ,but there was disgraceful racist baiting of Englands black players. This involved elements of the Spanish support making "monkey" noises every time a black player was passed the ball.How strong is racism in Madrid anyone know?

Check out the " Spanish football fans racially abusing Black English players " thread in the About Spain forum as well as the long " Racismo en Madrid " thread in the Discusión de España thread (it's in Spanish - if you read Spanish).

I'm not too far from the Stadium and walking home just before game time everything was calm. Didn't hear anything afterwards or see and signs of trouble the next morning.
