It’s just not going well for Borussia Dortmund at the moment. BVB look almost certainties for an early Champions League exit at the hands of Tottenham and Real Madrid, and the Bundesliga gap to Bayern Munich stands at six points following a 3-1 Der Klassiker defeat on November 4.

While the rest of the world watched the playoff between Denmark and Ireland, the tail end of qualifying in Africa or one of Saturday’s more glamorous friendlies, Macedonia (the world’s 85th ranked side) defeated Norway (58) 2-0 in a friendly with goals coming from Goran Pandev and Kire Markoski.

The first, finished by Genoa forward Pandev, was made possible following a wonderful assist from Ezgjan Alioski, a 25-year-old winger who plays for Leeds United. 

Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Girona on Sunday, but, hey, at least Isco was there. The 25-year-old scored Real Madrid's goal and generally continued the good form he has been in this season. Isco was so good Sunday Sergio Ramos kissed his boot after Isco scored.

Isco is Real Madrid's joint top scorer in La Liga right now, tied with Marco Asensio with three goals apiece after ten games. It has been a disappointing ten games for Real Madrid as a whole, as they find themselves eight points down to Barcelona in La Liga.
