I know this aint the place, but Spanish TV rights are different than in England. It doesnt really depend on their position. The clubs have separate deals with the broadcasts...Real and Barcelona will gain whatever they agreed on no matter where they finish. Just like Atletico will gain whatever they agreed mo matter if they win the league or not. The difference they would be making is tiny, definitely not the 100 million you saw, lol. It's like in the MLB. New York Yankees gain hundreds of millions no matter if they get to the play-offs or not. Just like small franchises will make little money no matter if they win the world series or not.

Not really, because Vidal is not as technical as Bastian!He can pass, cross, dribble, position himself, etc.; but not as good as Schweinsteiger... Also, it's not like the German is weak and/or slow. He is quite bulky!

He can defend, tackle, run, drible, pass, score, cross, etc. He might not be the best at them seperately, but he is the only CM who can do it all at a high level!That doesnt mean Vidal is a bad player (he is amazing), but Schweinsteiger is the best all around midfielder there is, no doubt!

That would be Schweinsteiger.

I am not condoning Mourinho's actions in that particular derby, but to use Tito's sad death to promote himself and to take a dig at Chelsea/José is incredibly pathetic! It shows Mick Dennis is not even bothered by the tragedy that has just happened and only wants to create polemic headlines for himself... DISCUSSING!

Oh. My. God. I am absolutely shocked, this caught my completely off guard. I knew he had cancer, but I never thought it was THAT bad. I mean, wow! It just shows how not even the ones with access to ultra modern and expensive treatments are safe from this terrible disease. RIP.

Add to the argument...Ronaldo and RM as a whole dont ever show up in big games. Ibra is the one who does it!!! Bale is a one season wonder and cant do nothing else besides running like crazy. Lucas Moura is the real deal, not this shit Welsh sprinter who already proved himself in the two best leagues in the World!!! Modric and Xabi Alonso aint even all that impressive, it's a mirage. They arent even capable of lacing Veratti's shoes!!! Varane, Pepe and Sergio Ramos arent quality defenders, they just have amazing stats because nobody in Spain plays offensive football. If they played in Ligue 1 they would have real challenge with the superb goalscorers that play in France!!! Oh, and while we are at it, Carlo is a fucking shit manager. He will never be as good as the mighty Blanc!!!

1-0 at home is huge! Real Madrid proved they can defend against Bayern while still maintaining a deadly counter. And that is still before Pep gets all desperate in search of a goal in order to qualify. Remember what happened in 2012? Chelsea had a vastly inferior team than Real Madrid, Barcelona were better than Bayern at that time and even then we adavanced...

I absolutely agree. I was saying this on the live game thread!At the time I wanted Salah (who I had forgotten was cup tied) to be subbed in for Rambo so we could have more speed/dribbling ability and actually be dangerous in the counters. 0-0 was not that good of a result for what the game turned out to be. Our first half was sublime, but when everyone realised Atletico were piss poor going foward and wouldnt score (at around the 50-60min mark), Mourinho could have very well tried to comeback with a win (imo)... But whatever, we will beat them at Stamford Bridge and go to Lisbon. I'm pretty confident about it!

LOL at the people who still think Real is a fluke and worse than PSG!

Why are you assuming he was the one who asked to be benched and not Ancellotti who didnt want to risk him for the full 90min?

As long as we have Hazard, Eto'o and Terry, will go through!

Of the good results, this is the worst. However, we will beat them at Stamford Bridge!!! KTBFFH!

LOL at Mikel looking for the ball!

That depends on what version of Oscar would enter the pitch...

Babi, are you still surprised Courtois is playing and not a sigle fuss was made about it?

That was not a handball, the fucking ref might have cost us a proper counter!

Now I know! LOOOOOOOL! I'm pissing myself laughing of my stupidity!

The part where nobody reminded me of it...

Ooh, looool! I forgot about it. He played for Basel. LOOOOOOL! You could have told me from the start, lmao. Either way, put Schurrle or even the sleepy Oscar! Rambo aint doing nothing...

You guys are a bunch of cowards! Salah has been the only AM who provided good offensive plays in our last two games. While Ramires is providing nothing to the team and we already have 1DM, 1CM and 1CB playing in our midfield. I want to win the match. It is within our reach if we push it a bit...

Ok, now go back to the real world...

No...

Because the game would end up being 10-9 to someobe due to all the penalties awarded! Shirt pulling inside the area happens all the time, everybody just chooses not to see it...

Take Rambo off and put on Salah! He will give us more mobility and offensive threat!
