La Liga News: 20 February 2016: Levante Crush Getafe, Zidane Throwing In La Liga Towel?

Levante gave their survival prospects a massive boost after recording a surprise 3-0 victory over Getafe at Ciutat de Valencia on Friday evening. Goals from Jose Luis Morales, Giuseppe Rossi and Joan Verdu secured the three points for the Valencians.
Zinedine Zidane has made it clear to Real Madrid the priority is the Champions League. Seven points behind Barcelona and with a visit to the Camp Nou pending, the Los Blancos coach will make rotations in the Spanish top flight and prioritise on Europe. It could be like in 1998, when Madrid won their seventh European Cup after a disastrous season in La Liga, finishing fourth, 11 points behind Barcelona. It's a risky tactic that Florentino Perez had given the OK to.
Thanks to a friend-of-a-friend discussion, though, next season will see an Oklahoman team compete in the North American Soccer League with Spanish backing. Rayo OKC, who are funded by the owner of La Liga’s Rayo Vallecano and an individual from Oklahoma City, will take the field in April. Their moniker, badge – and possibly yet-to-be-released kit – will all be tied to their majority owners from Spain.
Newspaper AS today claim moving to Old Trafford is a "dream" of the Real Madrid star. United came close to signing the Germany World Cup winner in 2014. David Moyes was keen on luring Kroos to England but the move collapsed when he was sacked. Real then stole in and lured the midfielder away from Bayern Munich.
With his current Atletico deal ending in June, and no sign yet of the Estadio Vicente Calderon outfit offering an extension to that contract, the 31-year-old told "El Partido de las 12" that his main hope was to be at the club when a big trophy was secured. "My future is to win things here, at Atleti," Torres said. "I have not done that yet. I am where I want to be. I don't know for how long, but I want to enjoy every game."
