Press digs knife into Barcelona Federer cruises on clay return

Afp, Madrid
Roger Federer shook off a brief bout of pre-match jitters as he returned to clay after a three-year absence, posting a 6-2, 6-3 win over Richard Gasquet on Tuesday at the Madrid Open.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion needed just 52 minutes to brush Gasquet aside in the second round, but confessed he had to control his emotions during afternoon match strategy sessions with his team.
"I was very calm all day, but two hours before, I was feeling it a bit. But that was the only time," Federer said.
"The nerves went away quickly, I'm just happy I started well.
"I'm glad to be back," said the three-time Madrid champion who last played on clay almost three years ago, losing to Dominic Thiem in the Rome third round on May 12, 2016.
Federer skipped the dirt for two full seasons to concentrate on his grass court form, winning Wimbledon in 2017.
He claimed the Madrid title in 2006, 2009, and 2012.

The Spanish and Catalan press were in unforgiving mood after Barcelona's 4-0 surrender to Liverpool in the Champions League semifinals denied them a place in the final by wiping out a 3-0 advantage from the first leg.
"The biggest embarrassment of all time," said the front cover of Barcelonabased newspaper Sport on top of a black canvas after the 4-3 aggregate defeat, adding "Barca write the darkest page in their history".
"A historic failure", said Marca, listing all the factors in Barca's favour before the game which deepened the scale of their defeat and denied Lionel Messi the chance to lift the trophy he had clearly targeted at the start of the season.
"They were 3-0 up, Liverpool's stars were injured, the league was won, the final is in Madrid, Real Madrid were already out and they had the best player
in the world."
Parallels were drawn with Barca's eerily similar capitulation in last season's competition to AS Roma in the quarterfinals, when they crashed out on away goals following a 3-0 defeat in Italy after leading the tie 4-1.
Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo also talked of an embarrassment and slammed Ernesto Valverde's side for switching off for the fourth goal, scored by Divock Origi but set up by the quick thinking of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
"A ridiculous goal conceded from a corner will be the epitaph of this team, which repeated the mistakes of Rome," said the newspaper's cover.
"The Champions League is too big for Valverde," said an editorial in Sport.
"Without doubt Valverde holds a lot of responsibility for this disaster, because when the moment of truth arrived he made the same mistakes as last year."
