The case already was accepted no? Or did something happen in the last days? There was a leak today that 9 months ago the investigators were asking Rubiales about what role Negreira had in refereeing and if he could influence games or not.

Stronger. This charge would have been the culmination of years of investigation under the public radar. That means two things - they have considered there isn't much more evidence to find, and that all their evidence was collected under the radar. Nothing can be hidden that wasn't already...

Talking of complete players, Christian Vieri comes to mind. The original inspiration behind 'Bobo32'... So skillful and technical but also a real fighter and got stuck in. Miss Bobo32 Hope he comes back soon

It turns out they have been investigating Negreira for years.

6 points is plenty but team are going to choke if we lose and start dropping a ton of points out of fear. We can't give any more energy to Madrid. If we win they are out of the title race. League is essentially being decided today.

What is happening is people are as per usual taking the opportunity to hate when he is injured and his great form during the season has been forgotten. As previously said people try and merge their critique of his injuries into critique of his ability. It is nice to see you are not doing this...

Abde with 1 goal all season is more goalscorer than Dembele apparently. 'Another one to add to the brains trust'

Not supporting Xavi ≠ Supporting Madrid. If you want Madrid to win you're a fan!

Their recent results have been worse than they deserved. They outcreate their opponents in most games and have a very strong defense. Additionally they played Dortmund off the park both legs... They are a much better team than their standings represent. It is down to Potter - if he takes Vini...

Chelsea are not an easy game. Knocked Madrid out couple years ago and then fought them tooth and nail the next, probably deserving to go through and outplaying you at home. Will be tight.

Madrid apparently 'lucky' to be facing winner of City Bayern next whilst other side of the bracket is Benfica/Inter/Milan/Napoli. Lol. They got a bad draw and will be knocked out.

Signing the discards of other top clubs is rarely a good move. If another top club with high level analytics, coaching staff, managers etc have looked at Ferran, for example, and decided they want to move him on after 18 months, being a young player, it should never be a good sign. There are...

Literally the opposite. I said 'there is no more Ronaldinhos in football'. Dembele would not be one of the best players in the world in a past era. But the talent is worse now and he is.

Ideally neither of them are part of the project next year and we continue to add intensity and youth to the team. Lewandowski physically is struggling in this high press setup and hasn't got young legs to press like these others. Messi would be more of the same and likely not do any off-ball work.

The reasoning seems solid but then they are calculating salaries that are totally obscenely valued vs the actual player. They put Alves at like 5m or something when he was no better than Liga mid table quality. Plus, taking the salary from the past club (PSG) who have much less lax FP rules in...

Well, the other thing is the attacking talent in football generally is nowhere near what it used to be. Flair is getting trained out of players and its a lot more mechanical these days, no more Messis, Neymars, Luisitos, Ronaldinhos... It is a real situation that Dembele is one of the best...

Its so predictable - once people cannot find any angle to bash him in terms of football anymore, they will start trying to pretend like they were talking about injuries all along and morph their criticism into that. He is injury prone, it's true. Much less so with Xavi though and in the end...

Arteta probably glad about that one. They are just going all in for this title, they are not a big club, that is huge for them.

After 3 or 4 times like this I think Carlo must have realised by now that he needs to change something tactically to make space for Vini (and subsequently Benzema). No way he'll keep rolling a loaded dice (Vini vs Araujo) and hoping it works this time with the league at stake.

Hunch tells me Madrid win. 3 or 4 wins out of last 5 for Barca is too much. If they lose this league is over. Thus we should expect their best effort.
