La Liga 2018/19 Discussion

Oh Marcelo, sigh. Hopefully Ronaldo uses his influence to get Jjuve to sign him.

He was actually good last night, suprisingly. For his standards, of course.

I think he's probably the best equipped to oversee a Clasico. The others are just rubbish, at least he makes an effort to reason with the players, they just stand there mute and give cards because they had their feelings hurt

Normally, there's no way I would agree that he's the best equipped to oversee a Clasico, but I do agree that he was pretty good last night. I've gotten so used to seeing him make controversial calls, even when it looks like he's about to have an odd game with no drama, so it's always in the back of my head whenever he's officiating. I think he could have rightfully booked a few players, but he didn't, and I believe the match benefited from it. It was surprising, because he seems to like being in the limelight whenever the top three of La Liga are involved. Maybe he's turned over a new leaf?

Hans?

Nothing against Vicinius, but I doubt that very much

I have no idea why dany has this immense disdain for Dembele but I can say this without fear or favour, Dembele is the better footballer. I mean, fking duh right?!

Vini would eventually over take him though and I hope you can accept that.

Vini is too young to be compared to anyone. last night he was shaking from stress. he has world class level potential but at this age you can't tell.

Unless it's likes of Messi and R9.

Old man Joaquin is better than Bale. So much better than Bale. Good match so far, Betis should take the lead before they get sucker punched with all this momentum.

2-0 to Betis, Joaquin just scored directly from a corner. This guy is life.

Credit to Betis but undeserved scoreline IMHO.

Undeserved? Odd choice but whatever. Betis was good, so was Valencia. The 2nd leg is gonna be fire.

Edit: Oof, 2-2, Joaquin with the turnover. Gameiro with the speed. This match is way better than the Clasico.

I said that at 2-0. I think 2-1 is a fairer result personally.

Good spectacle after yesterday's match overall.

Agreed. Absolutely agreed.

I still feel bad for Jesé. What a talent he was! But that damn injury ruined everything. Wish him all the best with Betis.

I reckon more than 50% of the goals Atlético have conceded in the past 5 years against Real have been from dead balls.

Haalaaaaa Madriddddd!!

Wada goal ffs

Casemiro of all people

scoring a goal to Oblak is like scoring 3 goals vs another team

Wow what a cross from Vini lol, i think Vasquez was surprised

Clear offside. VAR please respond.

Curtois should wear gown. Not even kidding.

That looked like a slight foul on Vinicius but I can't explain how happy I am to see Griezmann putting it between that *bleep* Courtois' legs.
