Real Madrid is not in deep shit. Perez is just pretending they are.Spot on.. Real Madrid and Barcelona are in deep shit. They are desperate.
When giants fall... I’m waiting
That's such a weird take on football. It's the rivalries that make the sport what it is. If Barca just disappeared, so would the Classico, which is La Liga's biggest selling point.
real madrid is in deep shit
It's going to be okay, pal. I know it's hard for you guys when you can't buy an Mbappe or Hazard every summer.This topic is so cringeworthy. Especially the part where all the experts know so much about Spanish government bailing out Madrid
I know it will be (unlike most of the ''expert''s here). Btw, I'm glad SL is out of the picture (you can check my previous posts), but some of the stuff I read here is comical.
And you think they haven't?This topic is so cringeworthy. Especially the part where all the experts know so much about Spanish government bailing out Madrid
So Spaniards and Italians supporting Madrid Barcelona Juventus don’t care about their national Leagues?
I get the feeling that a lot of fans from clubs around Europe were envious and wished they could also be in the Super League.
We do, but mostly as a consequence of our clubs being in it
Yesterday ?
Stupid me.
It was in their hands before atletico lost. Then barca had to beat them. Now they can just draw.
What happens if they default? They're going to have to offload players and can surely forget about renewing Messi on anywhere near the €2m or so a week he's supposedly on.
Would be a good look for Messi to take a paycut if the details of his contract is true even though he's still by far their best player. He's broken every record there now, so it wouldn't be bad time to leave if he is ever going to do it.
This is completely untrue, in recent years la liga has been splitting the tv revenue a lot more to teams outside the big 3 in Spain:
Barca has double the amount 4th place gets. Thats ridculous quite frankly.
Sure, but it actually used to be a lot worse before. All the remaining La Liga teams have been getting a bigger slice of the pie in recent years as the tv revenue split was renegotiated
Rubbish, as the spending gap continues to widen (especially with the financial pull City has) the EPL will become more and more of a one horse race. It’s been one of the least competitive in recent years while la liga has just 3 points separating the top 4. I think this is a weak era of football overall, la liga is weak and the fact that Chelsea are in the semi final with a shot at the final shows how weak European football has gotten right now.
Sounds like someone who is completely clueless about the Spanish league. No offense.
We are on course to see 4 different English sides reach European finals over the last 3 years. The two from 2019 wont even qualify for next year from our league. 4 different league winners in the last 5 years. One team has only ever retained the title in 11 odd years.
epl only has one more league winner than la liga in the last ten years. Leicester was a 1 in a million outlier. City has been laying waste to the EPL and will continue to do so.
Teams like United?
Pogba who is on the verge of leaving and seems miserable there? Greenwood has only picked up his play recently again. Saying United are more than a match is funny, you guys are playing on Thursday’s and it wasn’t that long ago we beat you in CL. I think Barca has gotten worse since then for sure but don’t see United as anything to write home about. And I’d without question take Barca’s youth development and players this season over United. Rashford has been off this season (hell of a talent) but if we are focusing on youth development Barca this season trumps United.Teams like United?
Henderson, Pogba, Greenwood, Rashford, Mctominay in our first team alone. We also have Williams and Tuanzebe in and around the squad.
You can maybe pick a fight with some, but United are more than a match for you.
This is maybe the first time in a long time that you've even relied on La Masia
Pogba isn't unhappy, you got thumped against PSG so that puts us about even i'd say.
You cant just yes but actual league winners away and then quote stats?
not true at all, I’ve shown stats for the competitiveness of the two leagues and in recent years the title race has been rather dire in the epl. City are on the verge of winning the league 4 times in the last 7 years and as the financial gap widens they’ll absolutely dominate even more. 2019 was an outlier where all the seasons around it have the title team winning rather early. I’ve literally shown the points differences and epl competitiveness is vastly overblown.
Id argue the arrogance is far worse and laughable from some United fans considering how little you lot have done in recent years. I’ve said many many times this is one of the worst Barca sides of the last fifteen years and one of the weakest la liga’s in recent years. I’ve absolutely taken Barca to task. But you couldn’t even get out of the group stage in CL, and our group wasn’t a cupcake either. United has a very disappointing CL run this season. We’ve been getting thumped sure, but still been getting further in CL and as for a matchup between the two teams I absolutely think it would be close. However, the criticism wasn’t about who was better but about the inability of Barca to develop their youth which is the furthest thing from the truth this season. United still lack a lot of depth, we have been the opposite. Our youth players are just 17 or 18 and already playing for their national sides.Pogba isn't unhappy, you got thumped against PSG so that puts us about even i'd say.
Rashford has been playing injured all season, do you even know what you're talking about?
Barca fans always seem to have this high and mighty mentality, once Messi leaves this summer and with 1 billion debt I think you'll be finding yourself in a similar situation
I'm not the one taking offence mate, think you trawling through my previous posts looking for dirt suggests I might've struck a chord though haha
That's such a weird take on football. Rivalries are a distraction and mostly mean you can't read anything because of the bias of everyone involved.
Under Barto? Sure, under Laporta? No way. Messi’s contract is fine, the athletic did a nice breakdown of how he’s more than worth his astronomical wages. The issue for us has been wasted money from the Neymar sale. But now that our former cancerous president is gone, Laporta (who was there for the pep golden years) will hopefully steer us back in the right direction.
Sure, it's all opinions but I can't imagine there are that many United fans who get as excited about playing, say, Fulham as they do playing Liverpool. Whatever guff the media comes up with before and after the game is just padding.
Well, that's what @giorno pointed out earlier: the football culture is very different in different countries. From my experience from the Netherlands also, there are some interesting rivalries, but I think most fans would prefer playing (and preferably winning) against more competitive or alluring opponents over meeting their rivals. For example, I think a lot of Ajax fans would be OK with never meeting Feyenoord anymore if that would be the consequence of playing in a more competitively interesting league than the Eredivisie (provided Ajax wouldn't become bottom dwellers in that league).
This has only been a thing for a few years but between 2002 and 2016 both Real and Barca each pocketed over 120million every year while the rest of the clubs were barely getting 10-20mil each.
Yes that is true, I was talking more about how the TV rights was renegotiated recently
