Definitely need another goal here Barca. They've still only played one good game since the international break.

Seems like another year where Atleti are getting the close but no Cigar trophy.

Not true, destroyed Sevilla and Getafe. And put in one hell of a first half against Villarreal.

Just realised that after the next matchday the top 4 competing for the title will face each other. Tasty.

We always give up the dumbest opportunities because of our lackadaisical defense

This 4-way title race is epic!

I have to say, I’ve watched a ridiculous amount of football this year (lockdowns!) and La Liga has been really fun (and the BL!).

As I was saying, Barça have struggled a lot post international break. This has been coming. From being Top of the league 15 mins ago to being 3rd now. Only Barcelona.

aka the Bayern Neverkusen trophy! But on a serious note, big bottle job by Atleti since the turn of the year.
Spoke too soon :lol: :lol:

How do you have 80% possession and still lose

I would love it. Two tough games coming up (Athletic and Real Madrid) but they’re well capable of beating both. If they do, they’re in it.
Seems like nobody wants to win. They should have good chance against both teams.

It would be great for spanish football if Sevilla won. Winning over 3 Super League sides would be nice.

Voted the best city in the world
Koeman got the tactics wrong as well. Played a 3-5-2 when iirc, Granada only play with 1 striker. Should have started another attacker here. They were way too flat and the 3 at the back didn't even sort out their comical defence.

Barca have never dropped a point at home to Grenada. And today is when they choose to lose.

Honestly don't understand the point of Pique up top. It's like United under Jose just lumping the ball up to giants. It achieves nothing.

Pique is not great at it, but when we had Fellaini, he was quite effective at causing chaos in the opposition’s box from these long balls.

That's life. Infuriating isn't it? Sigh. I had 2 grand on Barca to win La Liga before the season started and I thought this was dead in the water and the hope came back and now it is gone again.

Wow!

Funny how people wanna talk about a two team league, yet it's actually a four horse race this season with twists and turns. Hopefully Atletico can keep their noses in front but won't feel comfortable until Barca (hopefully) drop points at Valencia.

Even though im a RM-fan, Sevilla winning it wouldn't be too bad, they are not far off.
