SirBalon 2,692 Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 FC BARCELONA 1-1 ATHLETIC CLUB BILBAO (FT) Like I said in midweek, it’s not always about results. The same way as you can lose a game because anyone can and it’s more about HOW you lose it which was ridiculous against Leganés due to the terrible performance. Today Barça played well and were very very unlucky not to win. No way did Athletic deserve a draw today and Barça’a second half performance was absolutely sensational with Busquets and Messi coming on. This is definitely one of those games where you can tale positives from and the fact that this is football and you don’t win them all. Now wait and see what occurs in the Madrid derby.

Funnily enough there’s more talk of crisis at Real Madrid with better results than at Barcelona. Two of Barça’s results especially miseeek against Leganés were bad but today is actually a good sign.

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Griezmann should have scored there after doing the hard work. Golden opportunity that for me. It's been a good start to the Madrid derby though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden opportunity that for me. It's been a good start to the Madrid derby though. Both teams have had chances but you'd expect that from Real playing at home. But Atleti have played some real fast incisive combination football up front with Lemar looking really lively on the ball every time he recieves it.

Kowabunga 313 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Good first half. Courtois (closing on his legs and putting his hands and head to good use) averted two really great chances of goal for Atlético. Rodri putting a passing clinic. In the other hand it looks like that for this version of Real Madrid, Bale is a vastly more important cog than Benzema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The signing of Rodri looks to be as big as anything out there that gets all the major media attention. What a coup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Rodri is quality, this was always evident at Villarreal but you never know when clubs leave to, or go back to in this case, other clubs. It seems as though nobody wants to win La Liga this year. It could be a very interesting season indeed. Teams are looking competitive and showing no fear whenever coming up against the big guns. Sevilla have surprised me also as I was expecting them to struggle this year, but they seem to remain a solid side season in, season out these days. What a start for Andre Silva aswell.

SirBalon 2,692 Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 REAL MADRID CF 0-0 ATLÉTICO MADRID (FT) Very intense game where the quality of football ran out in the second half and it was just surges especially from Real Madrid while Atleti sat back deeper and deeper as the second period drew on. We all know they feel comfortable defending which is sad these days as they have the quality to really go at anyone as was seen in the first half... All the same, no team deserved to lose as obviously none deserved to win which means a draw was just. As @The Rebel CRS said... Right now nobody is taking a hold of the table and it's anyone's so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,384 Posted September 29, 2018 Administrator Share Posted September 29, 2018 Twice in a matter of days Real Madrid have failed to capitalise on Barcelona dropping points. Makes you wonder how important it may turn out to be later in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting the post is normal but recently Messi keeps choking when the pressure is on. Once versus Sevilla (supercopa) athletic, leganes, and Girona. But yeah, great performance by Messi I don't see C.Ronaldo doing much for Juventus, other than pulling player's hair and getting dismissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon 2,692 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Messi doesn't need to be a analysed... It's all self evident and not difficult to understand. Let's just thank the gods that Messi has never been coached by Mourinho. It was almost touch and go once, but the planets aligned themselves to keep nature and her wonderful creations in check.

The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Gael Kakuta popping up on the highlights for Zaragoza. That's a blast from the past. He was meant to be saviour of French football. It's interesting to see Madrid and Barcelona both dropping points again even though they both played good opposition. It's add to the intrigue to see how the next month will play out and see some of the other teams up the top will drop off slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
