Bale has been pretty terrible this season. And he's downright abysmal when there's little space.

Crazy to think how much Madrid spent on a counter attacking player. Hazard is the better player.

Atletico's defensive organisation was superb...pressing was very good...even though they do not have possession they are very much in control...they will be very hard to beat...i can see them going far in CL

Despite losing Costa, Villa, Diego, P. Luis and Courtois they are beating RM 2-0, are equal on points with Barca in the league and just 1 point behind RM.. though Madrid have a game in hand. That Himinez is a teenager is just unbelievable, he is some defender at this stage. Simeone continues to impress and as you said i see them being semifinalist or possible finalist for the CL

Atletico is the most competitive and most difficult team to win. I don't have doubt.

Bale really sucked today... Kroos is still very slow. I thought Marcelo played very well...

Isco really is the spanish version of Hazard.

The similarities are there, yeah. Isco is slower, less explosive, and not as effective on the flanks, tbh. Amazing player, in all respects.

SAUL NIGUEZ!!!! what a talent!!!

he does look pretty good. good tackles and headers. left footed too. probably will be a better player than mario suarez, if they play him enough

[Special Juan 27,622]

Loved watching that last night. They completely shut out Real and deserved that win.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Looking forward to Barca & Atleti. Should be a great game.

i expect atm to get a win here. their scoring rate from set pieces is tremondous and barca's defending in set pieces in utter shit. shutting out iniesta and rakitic would be the most important thing though.

Same here. I think their defensive ability, ability to counter and also fantastic set pieces will be too much for Barca. They will outlast them.

messi absolutely owning gamez.

[Irakozium257 350]

My God, Neymar is such a joy to watch. I'm not even mad that he plays for Barca, players like him, Hazard and Ribery are those guys you just can't help but respect for having confidence when heading forward against defenders! Atletico currently being put to shame by a revamped Barca team.

Barca killing Atleti.

I'm telling you, Messi is the most magical player I've ever seen. Such a joy to watch

could be sent off tho.

and should be 1-0

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Gamez has created a fucking freeway in the left side of Atletico's defence. Godin has to do all his work ffs.

[ulvhedin 508]

Even if that was hand by Messi, Atletico team looks like total shit today.. hope they will recover in second half

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

This Barsa side is dependable on their players' mood. Guardiola or not, they are still a fabulous team when all the players are pumped up for a game, just like they are now. City need a miracle to knock them out really.
