Preposterous to suggest Iniesta as a sub, hes a proven big game player. Regarding Neymar, another big game player, unless he can't run, we should expect him in the starting XI as well. A massive game for both teams, but from the perspective of Atleti, a loss for them has potential to put them...

RM have a talented squad and can go into the bench at a few positions, but as others have implied, the players can't seem to find any consistency or cohesiveness within the system (whatever that may be). You have some players that don't want to do any dirty work or some that simply aren't...

Ronaldo vs Betis 4 Shots, 1 OT 1 Dribble 0 Key passes 45 Touches 64% Pass accuracy

I think it was offside, but RM should have been given a penalty in the first half. I am aware the game shouldn't be examined that way, but in a vacuum of this game, it can be viewed as a balance.

Minutes: Ronaldo (1800) Messi (1110) Suarez (1710) Neymar (1527) Benzema (1190) Bale (1264) Shots per game Ronaldo - 6.6 Messi - 5.1 Suarez - 3.8 Neymar - 4.2 Bale - 3.3 Benzema - 3.6 Ronaldo shots PG outside of the box, being reported different by two sources. One has it at 2.8 and the...

Shots before this match: Ronaldo - 131 Messi - 77 Suarez - 72 Neymar - 71 What is pretty insane is that Ronaldo has 42 shots outside the box. For comparison Benzema has 54 total shots while Bale has 50 total shots.

The last time Real Betis scored a league goal before this game was early December. RM have plenty of time to get back in it, but Betis playing well, so far anyway.

Carvajal has been in good form over the past few games, strange that he doesn't get the start.

Thank you Sevilla! :)

Sevilla are away from home, so the chances they can garner a result is quite low. They have yet to win an away game in La Liga, and even more so, they have scored the fewest away goals in the entire league (5) while Atleti have the best defensive record. For Sevilla to win, Rico will need to...

We were dreadful in the first half, picked it up in the second half, but still an all around shaky performance. Regardless, three vital points were achieved in a game where we missed some key players and thats the most important thing.

Happy Birthday to the best number 9 in the world :suarez1: :wub:

Scored a tap-in, but there has to be something said regarding getting yourself in those positions for a player like him. Can't say much about the performance, but it would be harsh to pick on him as the team's performance a whole was rather average.

Definitely not a good performance in the context of which we are used to, but not an awful one either. Edit - Flavia got to it before me :)

Made some nice saves, but his ball distribution today was something to forget. 690941431008075777

Nice article Beyond that though, what Neymar does (regarding his "antics") is nothing new to the sport or league, so its probably not too far fetched to assert that Barcelona's dominance in Spain/Europe is the reason for some resentment towards Neymar. That is, an excuse.

Malaga play a very defensive style, but offer next to nothing in attack, so it'll be disappointing if we concede an early one to them. Not having Neymar will obviously make things a bit trickier given that he has been so vital in our attack, but the prospect of him picking up a YC here and...

1. Ter Stegen 2. Busi 3. Iniesta

This was a good result all things considered. The cushion will be there in the next game at the Camp Nou, where they will need atleast two goals, and its been over 10 years since a Bilbao side has accomplished that. Fully expect Barcelona to go through onto the semi-finals:barcascarf:

It might Cost-a-Real Madrid a couple of Vidal transfer windows.
