But there is something about Real Madrid which is different in this case though. Leaving suspect signings aside like Hazard, Jovic and Militao which of course have been detrimental, this is a club that has spent very little with respect to their sales as compared to any other club in Europe since Zidane took over.Yeah, and Ramos/Modric are still your best players with Benzema. Kinda shows there's a huge rebuilding job ahead. In general, Liga clubs made terrible choices since 2017 in their recruitment (the worst being obviously Barcelona).
I mean, Hazard, Jovic, Griezmann, Coutinho, Dembele, Felix, Lemar, Vinicius, Militao, Malcom, Guedes, Lenglet, Mendy, Rodrygo...
You have close to 1 billion in useless transfers (so far, some players are still good though) among the top clubs.
They've made several chances, though. When it comes to finishing them off, however, they've struggled, and they've also reliant on Messi for creativity in the final third. At least Frenkie de Jong is offering himself in the final third for more options.Barcelona still goalless against Elche a relegation team 18th in the league. Won't be surprised if Barca drop points again. They are seriously trolling us now.
Mendy, Rodrygo and Vinicius are also at least 45M a piece (we don't really know with Real, it was said Hazard was actually far more expensive than the 115M that were anounced) but I agree with you, you didn't spent 400M in one mercato like what we did in 2017 (even if it forces us to have balanced account sheets since that period) or 400M for your defense line like City.But there is something about Real Madrid which is different in this case though.

So that might facilitate the rebuilding a little bit.
Even if someone decides to count the maximum amount for Hazard it is possible to check the overall figures in Transfermarkt and see there is very little investment no matter which club you compare it with. In 4 or 5 years there was a season with big investment and that's about it.Mendy, Rodrygo and Vinicius are also at least 45M a piece (we don't really know with Real, it was said Hazard was actually far more expensive than the 115M that were anounced) but I agree with you, you didn't spent 400M in one mercato like what we did in 2017 (even if it forces us to have balanced account sheets since that period) or 400M for your defense line like City.
this didn't age well, but barca won't win the league regardlessBarcelona still goalless against Elche a relegation team 18th in the league. Won't be surprised if Barca drop points again. They are seriously trolling us now.
I have had my hands burnt by Barcelona so many times this season so much that I don't trust your team anymore. All those unnecessary dropped points have already caused you the title, and as another poster has pointed out, it's incredible that you're only 2 points behind Real and 5 points behind Atletico, albeit they have a game in hand despite your horrible form in the league. I really can't see it too unless you win all your remaining games this season just like how Real came back to beat you to the title last season.this didn't age well, but barca won't win the league regardless
haha we are good at beating mid table teams but against Atletico, both Madrids and Sevilla we have yet to win. In a race this close that is suicide. I don’t want to be over dramatic but Cadiz felt like the nail in the coffin. I hope I’m wrong but then again if we miraculously do win the league it would just be a blight on how poor la liga is this yearI have had my hands burnt by Barcelona so many times this season so much that I don't trust your team anymore.

Atletico Madrie have the highest points per games ratio among the top 4 leagues in europe. Barcelona being 5 points behind(with one more game played) shows their results haven't been nearly as bad as it seemsAll those unnecessary dropped points have already caused you the title, and as another poster has pointed out, it's incredible that you're only 2 points behind Real and 5 points behind Atletico, albeit they have a game in hand despite your horrible form in the league.

These people have no idea. That's why we should pray City doesn't bring him in.Rumours of his demise have been greatly exaggerated
Barca’s league form has been terrific though, they’ve taken 33/39 points in their last 13 league games and were incredibly unlucky against Cadiz. Messi seems to be on a mission though, he’s basically the sole reason their results are as good as they are with so many players out, especially in defence. If Atlético bottle this, it will be interesting whether Real or Barca take the title.I have had my hands burnt by Barcelona so many times this season so much that I don't trust your team anymore.

Sociedad inches away from a very good away win. They aren't as bad as some claimed they were after the 1st leg Europa league defeat to United.Vinicius with a deflected goal, the guy is a meme.
And there you goPique!!! Right at the end!
Hopefully we can win it
Yeah buddy!! Just hoping we don’t concede so would love another insurance goal. Koeman has done a beautiful job since switching to 3 at the back a week agoAnd there you go
