La Liga Thread

If they meet in the CL quarter of semi it could be 8 times they face eachother.

Would that brake a record.I think the most times one team can face another in a season is 10 and that will be in England.

Twice in CL

Once in supercup, once in PL

Twice in PL

Twice in CC semi final

Twice in FA Cup (including a replay).

Thats could easily be possible for 2 English teams next season, it will probally require City to win the Prem and EL with us winning the FA Cup and CL.

But so far i think 8 would be a record for teams facing eachother in the same season so if Real or Barca meet in the CL it will be getting ridicolous, not even us and Liverpool in the Jose days meet that much

I stumbled on this yesterday while looking for a video of him stepping on Messi's hand. It appears my initial reaction to this video has hardly changed, how is he still allowed to play football at this level?

I really hope the spanish federation will take action against him. I doubt of it, but it will be the right thing to do. His behaviors are lamentable. Even Rooney has said he was an idiot, on his twitter lol.

Madrid brag shit to death with their "royalty" thing. If they were really "royal", they wouldn't have such a butcher among their ranks.

The illusion is wearing off because there's like 4 El Clásico's a year now. Probably 6 factoring in the CL. Mou played negative tactics last night because he doesn't really have an interest in the Copa Del Rey, his focus is on the league & champions league.

Well, in the match league on December 10th, that was the same thing (without bas behaviors from Real's players).

I know that Tommy puts the blame on Mourinho and his ultra defensive and aggressive tactics. He says this isn't Real anymore... I don't know if to agree or not, because I haven't followed them much.

Ha even better. Anything to degrade Real Madrid is alright in my books!

Tactically, yeah (I mis-spoke before). But in that game he did not start 7 defenders . Like if this had been a league game I am sure Ozil, Di Maria & Marcelo would've started.

Feel sorry for Albiol. He should've started.

[manpe 10,861]

7 defenders? I counted 5, one of them playing in midfield

Yeah not defenders then, *6 defensive minded.

Ramos, Carvalho, Coentrao, Pepe, Diarra, Alonso. When he also had the likes of Ozil, Granero, Kaka & Callejón on the bench.

Balague: It is possible Mourinho might win La Liga then leave Real Madrid

Would not suprise me if Mourinho's next job (before United) is at Bayern Munich.

If he wins La Liga, Germany and France would be the only one's left out of the major countries, i reckon he would go Bayern then return to England then have a season in France before settling in the Portugal natinol team in the last few years.

Its the kind of man Mourinho is, he would want to end his career conquering as many league's as humanly possible.

I think German league would be great. There is not a team i dislike there, and even greater cause he won't help a direct competition like City, United, Liverpool and such.

Anyways the review that Gillem gave was spot on. I like Balague, he is a top commentator, unlike the trash of Hansen!

It doesn't matter how much Madrid spend... Barca have Messi, Iniesta and Xavi. As good as Ronaldo, Di Maria and Alonso are, their Barcelona counterparts are a class above.

[Madmax 9,219]

Must be frustrating for Madrid ... they're pretty much the best in the world. Only there's a bunch of little fellas just a bit better than the best, and they shove it in their faces 5 or 6 times a year.

[Sheva. 5,373]

"The players are no longer happy. He [Mourinho] hasn't spoken to Kaka once in the last four months,

"The Spanish players are unhappy with their situation because of the privileges Mourinho gives to the Portuguese players.

"And then there's the situation of Sahin. The reason he doesn't play is because Mourinho doesn't like him."

- Former Madrid president, Ramon Calderon.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Can't see why they're complaining, Madrid are doing as well as they can under Mourinho, and as well as Barca will let them.

The Real Super Clasico this weekend...Betis vs. Sevilla...Literally half of Seville will be divided. This will be the match that you might see Aggro in a La Liga match. Looking forward for the Festivies @ Estadio Benito Villamarín tomorrow
