The La Liga Thread

I'd go as far as saying Neymar is pushing Ronaldo for 2nd in the world, an=bout time someone challenged those two hahahaha

 

real vs barca on saturday

can't wait

 

Messi is likely to make the bench as well! Love the el classico, big game too as if Barca win they go 6 points clear.

 

think Benzema, Ramos still likely out too

 

And if Mardid win they will go on top with better goal difference.

 

I only expect that it will be a good match, but I have a feeling that probably EL Clasico will end in a draw. Barcelona can play for a draw, which will allow them to retain the first place in La Liga.

 

Rumours are messi will start on the bench

 

Really doubt that Barca ever play for a draw.

 

2-0 Barca at HT

 

3-0 up and Messi is about to come on. Brutal. . .

Backlash is going to be fierce for Benitez.

It was remarkable to see a team set up by Benitez to be so open. He's known for setting up his teams to be tough to break down so to see Madrid play suicide football today was surreal.

It'll go unnoticed due to Suarez and Iniesta's performances but Claudio Bravo was excellent. He earned his clean sheet.

 

I don't think Benitez is the right man for Madrid but whoever is managing them is obliged to play all the big names. There's no way you can play Kroos, Modric, James, Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo and have defensive balance, in my opinion.

 

Madrid are crying out for a defensively-minded midfielder. I'll never understand why they sold Xabi Alonso to Bayern Munich.

 

Embarrassing for real but the space barca got was unreal.

They must of wanted to go home when down 3-0 only for the best player in the world to come on haha

 

Barca bossed them around, Iniesta has still got it.

I had to laugh at that, the nightmare scenario. He wasn't even match fit & he still got a lovely assist. Best player in the world.

you on about that white hankie waving or the 4-0 deficit? The white hankies are bizarre.

 

Messi was actually so close to scoring with that trick by Neymar

Sad thing is for real everybody on Barca were going for the 5th so hard . Should of been so much more.

Rafa has huge issues

 

Aside from the 5-0 that didn't stop Mourinho.

I find it quite funny as well how close Enrique was to the sack in January to now slowly emulating Guardiola's achievements. First the treble, then a huge win away at the Bernabeau. What next?

 

Real Madrid have called a press conference for 6.30pm.

Surely not?
