I'm not going to be daft and base this off a few Twitter followings but most of the Mexican people I follow seem to like Real Madrid as their European team. Not sure how the family clubs are over there (that aren't local clubs anyways) but it could be because of Hugo. There's nothing wrong with him supporting Real Madrid because Hugo Sánchez excelled for them. It's a reason as far as I'm concerned... Although then I'd say (if true) he suffers from Saint Peter's affliction. I can't reach his ear though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just my guess. Just like most Peruvians have recently taken a liking to Flamengo because of Guerrero and Trauco. Although there also seems to be a large Madrid and Barca following here. Spanish football is a lot more popular than the Prem in Peru. I can understand why Bayern doesn't have a huge following over Claudio Pizarro. Peruvians detest him!

He's the top foreign scorer of the Bundesliga all time, but for Peru he has 19 goals. It sounds decent but 5 were in 4 qualifying cycles, I think 4 in Copa America's and the rest in friendlies. Its not all his fault though. As I said we had a really good front 4 but some managers wanted them all in the 11 so they ended up playing Guerrero up front and Pizarro more as a 10. Madness really.

Cure 197 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Where's the Madrid-Vigo chat? Is anyone actually watching this or is everyone just bickering? I'm sorry for coming across all direct but it's true. Everyone leave one another the fuck alone. I'm trying to work and occasionally checking up to see the discussion and all I'm reading are shots.

This was always going to end like that... As Carefreeluke said, had this been over a month or two ago it may have been a different story. But Celta have only themselves to blame for trying to wind up Real Madrid by denying them playing it then. They were upset at the fact Real Madrid tried to force Celta to play the Copa del Rey game in Gijón because of the forbidding storms at the time in Galicia.

Honestly though, I'd say as a whole La Liga is better than the prem. Not just the top half, bottom half too. Real Madrid and Barcelona make it look easy because they are the 2 best teams in world football (arguably). Its not like Sunderland or Hull will give them a hard fought game. The scorelines would be about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Well that's done and dusted... Such a shame Celta fizzled out toward the end of this campaign although you can't blame them really as they're not built for massive campaigns like they had this season going far in both the Copa del Rey and the Europa League including a very good first half of the season in La Liga. That's an amazing campaign for that type of club and a lot of credit has to be given to yet another Argentinian coach, Eduardo Berizzo. The league is finished because Málaga aren't playing for anything and there is no way in hell Real are going to lose there. A draw gives them their second league in a decade.

It has more than that one use. That is just the meaning you associate with it. Besides, Santiago is the patron of Galicia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
