Yes. Standards and bad coaching. Stuff happens. Same group beat Barca 7:0 on aggregate. Plus, we gave them Kroos, which makes us better .
Are you aware that the 2010 WC Champs was basically Barca minus Messi plus Casillas and Ramos. Brah, the season for the clubs is so long and anything can happen.
What Yung-T said. No way he leaves for 20 mill when you have David Luiz leaving for 60. Saw that bro.. Hopefully Lucho limits his minutes and Xavi becomes some sort of mentor to Rakitic/Rafinha/Sergi. That means no more mildfielders and Barca should have about 70 mill for some defenders!!!
No way he's worth that much but hey I guess everyone knows we are desperate. I know he can play CB at times but I want a true CB. At this point I welcome him but he better not be the only one!! C'mon Zubi
just for fun Ranking Barca/Madrid's attack force 1. Messi 2. Ronaldo 3. Suarez 4. Bale 5. Neymar 6. Benzema/Rodriguez Rodriguez is he going to be a CM? Not even sure unless you phase Benzema out and play Ronaldo at ST and Rodriguez on the right or left with Bale.
The digs at Arsenal never stop. I feel you JeopardE and other Gunners supporters. Needless insults directed at the pride of Norf Lahndan. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/HAHuss1oE6Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I can't keep everyone on Madrid happy on FIFA, how are they supposed to be happy in real life? Actually, the defense is fine, every once in a while Varane's agent or Coentrao's agent sends me an e-mail, but they never demand to be transferred like Di Maria, Khedira, Alonso, Isco, and Illarra.
Barcelona's front three is probably going to be awesome, but I think their midfield is weaker with Xavi and Iniesta on declines. And their defense is still a mess. So I ain't worried about them. I like Madrid's chances of repeating in the Champions League and having a record breaking Liga. Just have to let go of some players who just don't have a spot anymore.
I am not to confident that James Rodriguez will succeed with Real. Real is great in buying to many expensive great players for 1 position, and then watch a couple fail and selling them for much less. I fear this will happen to James.
Madrid is just disugsting, the way they're buying success. Everything going through illegal loans and deals with the Spanish government, laughable that a club half a billion € in debt is allowed to play and act the way they are. La Decima doesn't mean ****.
LMAO La Liga teams (esp Barca or Madrid) winning and doing well in the UCL is almost inconsequential 1. Not when you can somehow repeatedly pay high amounts to buy the best players and the stars of other teams. 2. Not when two teams in a league are in a league of their own financially and are funded through loans and the government. 3. Not when it is such a lopsided league that the competition is amongst 2 teams in most years (well 3 last season but that was an exception). People don't realize the significance of this. FATIGUE. Barca and Madrid players are almost always well rested for mid week UCL games because they can have a stroll in the park during the weekend La Liga games - just not competitive enough. Players are fresher, less injuries etc. It's different playing 2 competitive games in the league ( the El Classico's) as opposed to 38 competitve games in a dogfight that is the EPL Not butthurt but those are the facts.
