Señorio is a Spanish word which would translate for 'lordship'. But the concept is that of elegance and courteous behavior. In soccer, Real Madrid is a club which has always proud itself in such behavior.
Rivals would criticize that Real Madrid rarely honor the concept and as of late, Barça has claimed to be THE club in Spain that truly acts and conducts themselves with "señorio" as opposed to Real's bad manners. In fact, they call it "seny" for they prefer to use the catalan word in many cases. Real's bad manners have all to do now a days with Mourinho, of course, the all-evil coach responsible for bringing Real Madrid into Champions League semi-final after eight years absence and winning Spanish Cup after 18 years of not seeing that title ...
Then, yesterday, months after the high tension lived between the two clubs when they faced each other four times in four weeks, we saw some surprising comments from Barça's president. After all tension was relieved (almost forgotten), after they won (brilliantly) the Champions League and Spanish Liga. He threatened Real Madrid to break relations with them if they would misbehave again ... but, alas, being so nice as they are, he also said he was willing to give Real a second chance (for everybody deserves one, even Real).
Amazing. This is "seny" in its maximum expression. Funniest thing is, Barça's president says he will break relations if they see Real misbehaving again (for which Barça people seem to be the only qualified judge of course). Well. So what?! ... It is ridiculous. Kid's thing: you are not my friend anymore, and I don't talk to you.
