@bazza1988, it's streaming La Liga and Serie A games in Norway and I believe the cost is around 8 pounds a month. Up until this season Viasat had the rights.

Was planning on attending Atletico's match tonight, but their 19th century billing system made it impossible to buy tickets online. :mad:

Valladolid vs Barcelona under way (Stegen, Piqué, Umtiti, Alba, Roberto, Busquets, Rakitic, Coutinho, Dembelé, Messi, Suárez).

A proper 4-3-3, unlike previous year 4-4-2 (with André Gomes and Paulinho)

The pitch is the same for both teams. What is that stupid argument anyways? We are too good to play on a bad pitch?!? If you think you're better you just have to prove it - end of story. This whining by big clubs is absolutely ridiculous and one of the worst aspects of modern football...

First of all i'm not a fan of Barca or Valladolid......i just don't understand why they have a new pitch four days before their first home game.

Barca will be okay in the second half, the other side of the pitch they'll be attacking is pristine.

Probably because it was so hot before that the old one got destroyed and/or you couldn't plant the new one yet because that would have been damaged because of the temperatures. But groundskeeping is a science and not as easy as people tend to believe. This isn't a normal lawn...

Blatant fallacious argument. Equally terrible ground for unequal teams (one supposedly strong team and another much weaker) is unjust. A draw is a victory for the latter, not the former.

Banter pitch :lol:

(Pitch robbed barca of a goal so far, so great job!)

That was a sensational touch from Messi.

Dembele should have done way better.

I have worked in a greenkeeper team for a former 3.Liga club in Germany club so i know a little bit about that topic ;)

A new pitch four days before a game is always a terrible idea......actually they need another new pitch after the game.......right now the pitch "dies".

Barca really need a new striker. Suarez is clearly in decline. Now watch him score a hattrick.

Dembele is gonna have a big season this year. Looks very sharp here and in the other games that I've seen.
