La Liga 14/15

[serghei]

Afraid? I am worried about us losing everything like last season.

Going to Estadio Vicente Calderón where you will likely be forced to win is not an easy task. I have zero hope of RM losing any points in the last 3 league games as I wrote. They won't commit the same mistakes like last season where they basically threw the league away against Valladolid and Celta.

Yea, but he have a much much better team than Atletico. If we can't hold on to a 4-point lead having kind of the same games to play as Madrid in the last part of the season, than we don't deserve to win the title.

We have a 2 point lead though. His anxiety is understandable.

My worst nightmare is us dropping points at the Calderon and losing the CL-final to see RM lift the trophy.
That would kill me.

The scenario (that we will probably have to win vs. Atletico) was expected. At least for me. It's not such a bad place to be, having to win the last 3 games to win La Liga (2 of which are on Camp Nou, against teams that rarely win away from home).

There's always next season if that happens (super slim chances anyway). You might be surprised by Juve on tuesday.

If that happens I will die

The flipside is us winning at Calderon to become champions at home against depor, getting by Bayern and winning the cl against Real.
Also beating Bilbao at home, most epic treble ever.

Not going to lie, I'd probably laugh my ass off if that happened.

 

[Egert]

That is stupid. If we win it we deserve it, if we don't and then we don't. Doesn't matter how we achieve it, it could be by winning all games or by madrid dropping points. It just doesn't matter.

This counts only when RM will win all their games. If we don't win at the Calderon, we don't deserve it. Maybe you misread me, or I just wrote badly

Uncle flo Rider must have placed the copa del ray final in Camp Nou

Sevilla-Madrid was a good game

Barcelona had another toughie, although i feel they still could have won with Ibrahim Affellay up top on his own, Ronald macdonald flanking him

If that happens I will die

You have to watch Barca in other sports too. I still have the Final 4 in Cologne at handball.

Anyway guys, IN MSN WE TRUST. That's the name of the game.

We lost the league title against the same club at the Camp Nou last year when they were without their two most important attacking players (Costa and Turan). 1 week before their arguably more important CL-final against their biggest rivals.
We have played against Atlético 3 times this season and won all 3 matches. If we can do it for the fourth time (away from home) after likely having played 2 very difficult matches against Bayern München in the span of 6 days will be the key question here.

I don't operate with "deserved" or not. RM did not deserve to win tonight for instance but they did and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Really? The vast majority of people here and in the Spanish media expected an injury ridden and semi-exchausted RM team to lose at least 2 points in the league before our game at the Estadio Vicente Calderón. Now this seems unlikely. Add to that them drawing Juventus in the CL when many people were expecting them to be thrown out by Atlético.

Everything has gone against the club in the past 2 years almost. It would be telling if that trend continued this season as well. In this period where everything will be decided.

Yes, I am pessimistic.

 

[raki]

That suicide move by keeping a 10 man tam for so long..damn it Emery

 

[Morten]

I think its more likely that you mess up in a easier game, really, though that is very unlikely as well. Against Atletico Barca will be fully focused.

We did lose vs Atletico last year, but that was a very much superior Atletico and weaker Barca (with Pinto in goal btw).

4-5 days of rest are enough at this level. Real Madrid for example has 2 tough away games back to back, vs Sevilla and Juventus, in 3 days. Teams train hard for being ready in april-may, when titles are won or lost. Lucho did well with rotations and I don't see fatigue being a problem at the team. Neymar and Suarez were pressing at 7-0 against Cordoba, they surely wouldn't have done that if they felt tired. We lost precious points in the league, but not because of fatigue, but because of Lucho's inexperience at this level and our lack of concentration in some minor games.

Spanish media talks too much about too many things. I didn't think RM would giftwrap the title for us. If you did, than that would perfectly explain your pessimism right now. But we are still in control. Leaders, doing well both in offence and defence. Yea, the game against Sevilla was a fuck up that occured at the worst time, but the players surely won't let La Liga slip against Atletico. We will show up with hunger to win and we will give it all against Atletico. And with an attack like that, not scoring a couple of goals on Calderon is not a bet I'd make.
