La Liga 2018/19 Discussion

Afraid that Rayo can't hold on tbh, they're still committing to attacking like crazy

Barca with 1 shot on target all game. We have been a calamity this season but we've never left a game with such dire stats. And you can't make the excuse that Rayo are defensive either because they've gone toe to toe with Barca

CL this season is up for grabs can't see bad Barca or even worse RM winning it this season

I mean, you're a mischievous ass who enjoys Madrid losing as much as Bayern winning but crazy you are not.

Oh and this is the Vidal that Hapless was hyping he isn't better than Arthur. Just got a big gob thats all

On the contrary, Rayo are completely gung ho, YOLO and thus always stretched
No coincidence Pep's Barca used to put 6,7,8 past them every time

I'm 'hyping' Vidal?
Vidal 'isn't better than Arthur'?
Have you watched any football in the past 10 years?

Pep had Iniesta, Xavi, Dani Alves, Messi, Villa, etc. in their prime. This Barcelona could only rough up the shitty Madrid teams. You know, like last week.

Aaaaaaaand golazo by Dembele. What else is new

In fairness Pep would've ripped them apart with this team.

Dembele saving EV again what is new? He'll be back on the bench again.

It was kinda expected but at the same time, it's Rayo. Barcelona should actually be winning this.

Ffs i am done with this league. Why why why

Godamnit

Still 2-1 for Harmonica tbh

Suarez is back exactly when we face him twice

You're welcome...

Haven't seen the game but victories such as this one is what makes a team champions!

If you didn't watch the game, how do you know that Barca didn't simply pounce at the opportunity to punish a Rayo Vallecano that suffered from a late reaction to food poisoning?

nonsense

if you become champions, it's despite performances like these not because of them

Lol, everybody knows hard fought, last minute wins make you the strongest! they make you believe you can do anything if you fight until the final whistle

you play like shit and almost got embarrassed by a lightweight team that's ridiculously open

if you think that was a great experience for your team then fair play

We just came off a manita clasico without Messi, probably a little big headed

Valverde isn't a great motivator so we're never prepared for a lightweight team to harrass us like Rayo does.

But what I mean is, victories like these taste the sweetest when the game isn't going your way and you still win.

I certainly get where you're coming from. But your reasoning would make a lot more sense if you were neck-and-neck with another team and any point drop would give a serious dent to your title charge. That's when those three points taste the sweetest.

However, the fact of the matter is, Barcelona has no rival this season. Really, this is not an exaggeration or anything. But there's no doubt, you'll be crowned champion at the end of the current season.

I'm not saying this because I think you're incredibly strong by the way. I definitely don't. I think you have many problems and you're far from being invincible or unstoppable and any decent team should be able to give you a run for your money, especially without Messi. It's the other so-called title contenders that are absolutel and utter crap.

Atlético is dreadful, Sevilla is fourth and don't even get me started on how pathetic and weak Madrid is. You have no challengers this year, and for that reason, I believe those hard-fought victories you're speaking of, should rather taste quite sour given the quality of those you're 'supposedly' competing against for the league.

Celta probably have had 1 good performance since that early season win vs Atleti!

Edit:Maxi Gomez On,Telly On

Maxiiiiiiiii

Last 30 mins were crazy
Maxi Gomez my new favorite Uruguayan striker

Hmmm I sense a lot of hopes for Barca to drop points, and then bitterness when in the end we dont

Godín: “I was broken....there were no changes left, I said ‘I’m staying’. I went up front as a striker who couldn’t move.”
