La Liga 2015/2016

Nice job comparing Barca or Atletico with Celta

No. I just pointed last 3 games against Celta before the 6-1 thrashing:
2014/2015
Barcelona - Celta 0:1
Celta - Barcelona 0:1 (very hard game and lucky win on the way of the title race)
2015/2016
Celta - Barcelona 4:1

In the same time RM beat them - 3:0, 4:2, 3:1 and today 7:1.

Yeah, that's my point. Real is strong at home against middle-table lower-table teams. And once those teams give in they will get trashed.

Getafe equalize against Seville

Kameni came off Injured for Malaga, and Ochoa finally makes his League Debut.

Score is even so far Deportivo 1-1 Malaga.

When Real Madrid wins against Celta with 7-1, it's because they're awful, giving up etc..

When Barcelona wins against Celta with 6-1, it's because we're great.

Double standards at its finest.

The games were different. Celta were excellent for 75 minutes and had just missed a chance to make it 2-2 when Barca went 3-1 up.

Then in the last 15 minutes Barca produced a sensational 15 minutes that an admittedly beaten Celta couldn't live with.

But yeah they both punished a beaten team, although Celta put everything into it for 75 minutes so would have been tired rather than just give up. That was the best 15 minutes you'll see all season though from any team and it was a very close competitive game for 75 minutes.

Yesterday Celta never even got out the dressing room for the second half and you can't put that down to tiredness. It was a disgrace.

People only discredit these big wins for real due to how they don't do this against top teams

That said real are one of the best 5 teams in the world flawed of not

They were top 2 before 2015 started. Now they are in the same bracket as Juve,Atletico,Psg only below Barca and Bayern but above the likes of City,Arsenal,Chelsea,Roma,Sevilla etc.
So top 3-6.

Atleti beat them at Bernabeu without even gave a 100%. So I think they are 1 level above RM. Bayern and Juve are also 1 level better, we are 2 levels better (the best team in Europe atleast from the spring 2015). I put RM on a same line as PSG/Man City. The other teams are worser...

What's the point of scoring 55 goals in 13 La Liga home games if you don't score at home to Barca and Atleti and lose which costs you your title hopes? The title is won on head to head so they're completely pointless goals most of them anyway.

Odds on Valencia snatching points from Atlético tonight?

 

[Capitan Puyol]

Valencia play better away from home under Neville's reign (5 away wins - 2 Liga, 2 Copa, 1 LE), also Atletico
see they can not reach us for the title and will be not very motivated, also it's no way they down to 4th (UCL qualifiers).
It's very likely Valencia not to lose this game.

Should be a very interesting match.
Looking forward to seeing Kranevitter from start.

 

[Trickykid]

Oh, and also Lucas Hernandez. That's only his 3rd match this season, and second as starter. Hopefully Valencia piles on the pressure in the absence of Godin.

 

[Trickykid]

AM easily the best team with 20 mins gone. A few good chances and nothing really for Valencia. Right now the can't cope with the intense, high pressure of Atletico.
