Will Barca help Madrid win the league?

by guest7 Sat Apr 12, 2014 11:50 pm

The last match for Barca is vs Atleti.

Assume Real wins all of their matches, and Atleti wins all points up until that match.

Barca would already be out of the title race at that point and a win over Atleti would help Madrid win the league. Will Barca favor one rival over the other? hmm

You're giving Barça too much credit there in assuming that they will beat Atletico.

Barca would give it to Atleti over Real.....pretty common knowledge.

Barca will field their C team just o make sure they have no chance of winning.

I think Barca would definitely hand it to Atleti if there was no possibility of them winning, and it meant Real would not win.

Honestly I think the race will be too close at the end to even think Barca could be put in this position

I think the fans would happily give it to Atleti but the players would not out of pride. At least the non-catalan ones.

In any case the league is completely within Atleti's grasp, if they win all but one of their remaining matches they take the league regardless of whether they lose to barca that last day or not.

it would be nice if atletico won the league

and im sure the barca and madrid fans here would be quite happy hmm

In this scenario I would play the U-12's team if I could. If we have a say in it Madrid are not winning the title. Getting beat 10-0 by Atletico is preferable to seeing Ronaldo and Pepe lift the trophy.

It wouldn't matter. Atleti have RM beat on h2h, so as long as they win their next 4 games before the final round, they are champions

What are the rules like? Can they be peanlised if they obviously hand them the league? Whether it's scoring own goals or fielding a C team.

If they have nothing to play for on the final day then it's understandable for them to field a weak team. They have many players that would want to rest before the World Cup.

What is it with people believing that Barca could beat Atletico even with their A team? 6 games, 0 victories, 2 goals scored. Lining up a C team would actually do more damage as that would catch Atletico completely by surprise. Laughing

Barca have played Atletico 5 times this season, drew 4 times and lost 1. Believe me if we field our best team it's still unlikely we would win Laughing

by Mr Nick09 Sun Apr 13, 2014 2:03 am

that's true as well Laughing

as long as they dont screw up their next 6 games they will be champions, but that's easier said than done

by futbol Sun Apr 13, 2014 2:27 am

They can afford to lose 1 game. Only need to win 5 games.

Getafe
Elche (home)
Valencia
Levante
Malaga (home)

Doable. Now that they are so close they will give 150 % instead of the usual 120 %. Proud

^ don't worry fussball, at least one of your loved teams (Liverpool) will win a title this season. You were one of the very first believes Proud

This is awful, who knows if we really are in position to let Atletico win in order to avoid Real winning the league, I would MUCH prefer to see Atletico win it Razz
