Great tackle by Bailly on Ronaldo. He's having a good game.
La Liga - 2015/2016
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Suarez with a super hat trick of goals and a hat trick of assists. Unreal.
Villarreal can still get a point of this if they play it smart in the second half. Even though its unlikely and i'm not getting my hopes high.

2-0, game over then.
What a goal from Lucas.
Completely beat Areola for pace. Great finish.
Just seen on Opta's Twitter that he's the first player in the 21st Century to have a hand in 7 goals in a La Liga game.
That's his 6th hat-trick this season too.
Great win for Atleti tonight. That was their hardest fixture from the ones left.
I really hoped Depor can get something out of Barca, yet they stuffed them pretty hard. That win gives the momentum back to Barca especially with the H2H advantage and easy fixtures up to the end.

Godin got an apparent hamstring injury, which would be a huge blow for Atleti in the coming weeks.
That said, Lucas Hernandez excelled yet again after being thrown in at the deep end, this time without Godin at his side, so maybe Atleti won't miss him too much.

Nah, think it has more to do with the fact that the furthest forward players can afford to pace themselves when the game is done. Messi hardly does any defensive work and just walks around when the game is already done. I doubt taking him off for some remaining 30 minutes or so would make a major difference fitness-wise at this point of the season. Getting another goal or two though could boost his confidence. You could see that Neymar needed the goal for example, he had not scored for a while. We also don't have a clue how their training regime looks like. Maybe the front 3 play every game and in return they do less stamina-draining exercises in training. Bit simplicistic to say it's because they want to statpad.
It slipped my mind completely...
The only thing unreal about Suarez is the fact that this lunatic is still allowed to play football.
I'm sure he loves it in Spain just like I'm sure Diego Costa will be back in Madrid come summer. Only in Spain they can consistently get away with the shit they pull.
New revelations from football leaks. Apparently Atletico sold 30% of Koke's rights for just €3 million in 2013 and 40% of Saul's right for just €1.5 million in 2011 to one of those shady investment companies registered in Ireland. Jorge Mendes was an advisor to these investment companies and no doubt the brains behind the deals. Like a money lender Mendes is/was taking advantage of Atltetico's financial situation.

Just ban this FIFA/UEFA. It's a footballer, not a company.
This Mendes guy is a busy fella.
At this point I am more in awe of Mendes than I am of Messi.
Fortunately third party ownership has been banned but it does not apply to deals done before May 1st, 2015.

Be interesting to see how Bale performs as the main man (i.e. without Ronaldo)
Bale hits the post!
Rayo score!
1-0, Embarba from a cross by Bebé with a great move to get past Danilo.
2-0 Rayo...
2-0 ... déjà vu, maybe they won't lose their heads this time.
2-0 Rayo.
Poor defending again. I always say Ramos is overrated but whenever I watch their defence is terrible when he is not playing. Varane poor for both goals.

Come on Rayo.
Bebé is roasting Danilo...
Cmon Bebé
Rayo have superb so far.
Had that first touch been better it would have been 3-0. Great counter attack.

Atlético for the league title then. Go Go Simeone!
Bebe almost with a worldie
Bebé really has that piledriver quality in his shooting and crossing (when it comes off). Almost a world class goal from 30m out.
Bebe almost scored a screamer
How poor is Danilo?
Rayo's counter attacks have been fantastic. Madrid finding them hard to handle.
Madrid missing Ronaldo
30 odd mln poor.
Bale gets them back in it
Great header from Bale.
Get in! Bale!
Bale with a brilliant header from the corner, 2-1
god i hate madrid
They're missing a few key players, mostly Carvajal, as Danilo is stinking up the place against Bebé leading to numerous dangerous chances, and Modric who would exert a measure of calm and control over the game instead of the huff and puff nature it has now which suits Rayo...
