La Liga 2018/19 Discussion

RAmos now takes Madrid's penalties?

Yes, Ramos is first shooter, then Benzema.

It's good to watch nice football again. No idea if this would lead to anything substantial but it is really nice nonetheless.

great game, we were not very focused off the ball in the first half but we fixed that in the second part of the game. So far, all of our second halves have produced lots of goals. Although, we started this game better than the previous 2.

so Barca will have no competition whatsoever for this league season?

Its a damn shame but its still early days

Atleti are usually slow starters tbf. Could see Valencia with RodryGOAT posing some stiff competition as well. Celta Vigo seem to be coming along nicely too.

Celta are always the same. Start the season well, finish the season mid table. I remember when they were first up until Jan a few seasons ago, they never change. I hope by the time Atleti pick up form they'll be very far behind.

The man name is Rodrigo with an "i". I know La Liga isn't your forte but Google can help now and then. Rodrygo with a/an "y" plays in Brasil.

Also, I hope both Atleti and Valencia do shit this season. Would please my soul tbh.

Imagine the cringe if freaking Parejo won the league

Atleti hype on this forum they've been overrated as shit for far too long.

What's the hype? That they're better than United? That hasn't changed

No people were saying they are going to win La Liga and one of the favourites for the CL and hell multiple people said they'd win that too.

They won't be close to either, they've been overrated as shit for at least 2 or maybe even 3 seasons now.

Hell I'd even go as far as to say they are the most overrated team in the world atm.

Come on now. They won the league and reached two CL finals and have been consistent ever since Simeone took over. If that's overrated, then I don't know what isn't.

It's not completely irrational to believe they are one of the heavyweights.

They may not be getting good results now, but it's still too early to jump to conclusions. And it would be unfair to disregard their past achievements in Spanish and European football just because they have had a slow start to the season

I said the last 2 or maybe 3 seasons, only one of the things you mentioned happened in that time.

So literally most of what you said is irrelevant to my argument about them being overrated today and in that time.

They won't get close to either La Liga or the CL, quote me on this. If I'm wrong I'll apologise but I get the feeling I won't be.

Why dont you take it to the bet thread

I'll be glad to take that bet

Oh and I said this in pre season when everyone was hyping them up, so this has nothing to do with them losing to Celta.

Although it does give me a good reason to have a good laugh at them.

Well, since I'm a Madrid fan and since I can't stand Atlético's thuggery and Simeone's despicable behavior, I really hope your prediction becomes reality. But when I look at their squad, overrated isn't the first adjective that comes to mind.

Man you're going to need quotes to back that up because I haven't seen anyone call them a CL contender, and for La Liga people usually put them in either 2nd or 3rd

Levante leading Valencia (who have a really nice kit btw). Roger Marti following up after a mistake from Neto.

All started from Morales' run. If this guy was younger he'd be playing for an EL club imo.

I'm not used to Levante playing good football.

Edit: 1-1 already lol. Cheryshev heading in Soler's cross.

That was a nice header by Cheryshev.

Valencia without a win to start the season

Atletico drop points, Valencia dropped points and Madrid actually looked good. Barcelona could do whatever because this has been a fine weekend of football. For me. Duh.

0-1 First attack lmao. Roberto magic there.

Corrupt refs starts immidiatelly protecting Huesca.

1-1 Messi.

having messi is like having a cheat code

it's all good, we got big benzy now
