Truthful.
The amount of shit other leagues get in the UK is insane and I'm, for one, quite happy that La Liga is proving its quality by having all of its teams qualify.

Is it though? If Malaga had not got through, do you think people in England would be squeeing with delight and mocking La Liga?

Basing that on most of the EPL fanboys lurking around North & East.
The more sensible fans that treat other leagues with respect are in scarce.
It's really not about Malaga, now is it though? It's about brushing aside every other league but the mighty EPL, and to be frank, I've seen that happen a few times too many.

One of Utd/Juve vs Madrid would be great. United have the firepower but Madrid would overrun them in the midfield and expose that poor defense, Juventus are extremely balanced & i think they'd progress over Madrid.

Exactly. The midfield is our number one weakness, if we can outplay you there we'll have it much easier. United's midfield and defense are a joke at the moment, no worries there. If Ramos & Pepe can deal with Falcao they can surely deal with Van Persie. I'm more afraid of Juve, their midfield and defense, plus a world class gk, are top notch, and if they can put 3 goals past a Chelsea side with 5 defenders, they can surely exploit ours as well. Other than that, the rest should be relatively easy.

I think Juventus is due a very heavy loss soon tbh. Their 3 man backline is just waiting to get ripped apart in Europe. Madrid's pace on the wings would cause them all sorts of trouble. They aren't that great going forward either. They miss a world class striker upfront. Against Donetzk I've watched the highlights and they had 1 shot on target. Which was their goal. And offside. They are drawing so many games for a reason. Sure, they have a certain level of compactness with their midfield controlling games. But I still put them behind Barca, Real, Bayern and Dortmund. Infront of United however. Different story if they had someone like :villa: upfront.
Or maybe I'm just overrating Real Madrid. After all they can barely beat top teams. Last minute winner against a horrible City at home and draw away. Owned by Dortmund twice. Owned by Bayern last season. If teams stop their counterattacks, they can't control games and run out of ideas. Mourinho is a horrible tactician if you think about it.
