I didn't even mention competitiveness, just that the quality of football in Ligue 1 is shit and therefore cannot be compared to the leagues you mentioned. But yes, since you mention it it's also way less competitive. La Liga was at least never a one-horse race, and nowadays it has three real...

That would imply that the league isn't shit, so no. More like SPL.

I think his main problem is his reputation, honestly. At Inter, the players pretty much refused to follow him from the get-go, Chelsea fans and players hated him, and I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't respected by the players at Real Madrid. Also unlucky that at both Inter and Real Madrid, he...

What a fucking game. Also I tuned in around 15th minute, and around 60th minute I noticed Ronaldo wasn't playing so I looked it up to see if he was injured or something and turns out he was in fact playing...and he blocked Bale's header at the end too for a potential winner.

lol wat

I lost count of how many attacks he fucked up with a poor first touch. Definitely way worse than Suarez and Messi, Suarez created our best chances.

Probably his worst game ever for us.

He also scored the winning goal against Celta the week after el Clasico. He was extremely crucial to our treble campaign.

If Denis comes back also, we'd have Iniesta, Rakitic, Roberto, Rafinha, Arda, and Denis competing for two positions. Probably better for Halilovic to stay on loan for another season.

Or he's a great goalscorer, regardless of the fact that he's been poor at everything else for a while.

World record, I believe.

Suarez is 2 for 2 so far, he should take more penalties.

Roberto Messi Neymar

Eh, there's plenty of appeal. Obviously if you play for Barca, Bayern, or Real then it's a step down but if you're coming from any other team you get to play for a team that has the best chance to win CL outside of the obvious three, live in a great city, and league games are zero pressure

He wasn't that bad today.

How many penalties have we missed this season? Just off the top of my head I remember 2 misses from Messi (vs Athletic and Levante) and 3 misses from Neymar (vs Las Palmas, Roma, and Betis)

During a couple of his dribbles, I legitimately thought he was Neymar until I saw the close-up replay. Was this guy always this good at dribbling?

:lol: It was a good goal

I thought he was pretty good

Rakitic's defensive contribution on the right side is hugely important to our system. Arda will have to demonstrate more than just his technical ability to displace Rakitic from the starting lineup.
