La Liga discussion

Well, well, well…

Real, Barca, Atletico.

If Xavi took over a bit earlier, they might’ve fought for the league. Not bad for apparently a destroyed side.

So predictable. What a league. :joy:

Xavi has done ok, I reckon they may win the Europa League.

It is worth pointing out though that in a few games they have started with an entirely new forward line, not bad for a club that is crippled by what is supposedly a transfer embargo.

Athletico beat espanyol 2-1 they get winner on 100 minutes a penalty from Carrasco, Kondogbia sent off on 71 minutes for second booking.

Sevilla 2-0 against Real Madrid

Barca lose to the mighty Cadiz, who were in the relegation zone before the match.

Probably this is the best thread for this

Pique’s role in moving the Supercopa de Espana to Saudi Arabia was highlighted in the first set of audio leaks published by ‘El Confidential’, as his company Kosmos convinced the RFEF to expand the traditional format of the competition.

:man_facepalming:

The issue is his event company were organizing it so he was involved in those discussions as an executive of that company rather than as a Barca player. Even beyond the ugly aspect of moving the competition out of Spain, and then to Saudi, that creates problems. It’s unseemly for a professional football to be putting such involvement in outside ventures. But it’s worse when the things he’s involved in are football related and represent a perceived conflict of interest with his role as a Barca player.

I didn’t see the game, as I was at a concert, but sounds like it was a good one:

To mark the occasion, I think I’ll wear my 2005/06 Betis Joaquín shirt, which I bought in Seville when we played them in the Champions League, today.

Real Madrid crowned La Liga champions. :clap: :trophy:

Better them then those Catalonia divers.

They are both as bad as each other and Athletico are no better.

Atl Madrid will not give RM a guard of honour in today’s derby with a long and winded statement.

Probably will kick the shite out of RM players instead with their sportsmanship.

Madrid will possibly field their reserve team.
