    Villarreal CF

    Sergio Asenjo suffeered a torn ACL yesterday. His third such injury in his career. A great shame as he has been one of the best goalkeepers this season in Europe. Injuries have really damaged his career and halted his rise. Still only 25 years old though. I remember when there were strong rumors...

    Real Betis

    Los Beticos have the arguably best supporters in Spain. One of the best away fans too. Hopefully they will get promoted which looks very likely.

    Franck Ribéry

    Am I the only one that thinks that he will be ready to face us? Especially now when Robben is apparently out and Lewandowski a big doubt at least for the first leg? Of course you can question how fit he would be and how big his impact would be could he play but he is definitely a player that...

    Bayern München

    Villa, Puyol, Mascherano were out and Xavi was playing on painkillers, Busquets had problems with his hernia and Messi was struggling with an muscle injury that occurred against PSG in the first leg that season. He was barely fit. Much like David Luiz against us recently. Most of those players...

    Lliga: Cordoba - Barca 0-8

    Córdoba are virtually relegated. They have nothing to play for other than their honor. They along with Eibar are also the worst teams this season. Anything else than 3 points would be an enormous upset. Arguably one of the biggest this season in Europe. Lucho has a full squad at his...

    Lliga: Barca - Getafe 6-0

    Barcelona is the 4th most visited city in Europe after London, Paris and Rome so the amount of tourists is only understandable. A crucial knockout game (return leg of the quarter-finals) in the CL against your city rivals cannot be compared to a league game Tuesday night against Getafe. Camp...

    Serie A 2014/2015

    I agree but when it happens too frequently it becomes a problem IMO. Most of the time those small clubs with tiny stadiums, budgets and fan bases do not survive on the long run. Take Eibar as an example. I much rather prefer a club like Real Betis or Real Zaragoza to replace them on the long run...

    Lliga: Barca - Getafe 6-0

    @Luftstalag14 For instance check this video out of the first quarter-final game against Juventus in the 1985–86 European Cup that was played at the Camp Nou. We won that game 1-0 in front of 120.000 spectators. Notice the amazing and constant cheering. Different times.

    Lliga: Barca - Getafe 6-0

    @Luftstalag14 Was that your first trip to the Camp Nou and Barcelona? You choose a great game to visit. Let me answer you why there are more international spectators/tourists at the Camp Nou than likely anywhere else in Europe. It's simply due to Barcelona being the fourth most visited city in...

    La Liga 14/15

    I agree with that notion. If FIFA had punished all 3 clubs at the same time, it could have been a bigger problem for RM. What annoys me most with this whole FIFA saga is the fact that Rosell and our board basically did not take FIFA seriously or the rules. This sanction could/should have been...

    La Liga 14/15

    Sure but then they will be prevented from buying players 2 transfer windows in a row. That's a negative thing no matter how you look at it. A lot of things can happen in football. If RM fail to win the league or CL this season and then proceed to perform badly next season then such a transfer...

    Luis Enrique

    Lucho is on fire much like the team. The only negative thing I have to say is that he should have rested one or two players from MSN trio today. Ojalá we will win at least the double this season.

    Serie A 2014/2015

    Of course if you get promoted fair and square then there is not much to discuss. Personally though then I believe that clubs like Carpi, Frosinone (they look likely to be promoted as well), Sassuolo, Cesena, Empoli etc. don't belong in Serie A. I would much rather see clubs like Bologna, Pro...

    La Liga 14/15

    RM might be "set" for now but being unable to buy players for 2 transfer windows in a row (1 year) can never be a good thing. At least the Spanish RM fans will shut up now for a while in regards to our FIFA sanction.

    La Liga 14/15

    No, because the RM board already knew what had happened with FCB when our board made a joke of themselves by not taking FIFA seriously. RM probably knew long ago that they would likely face the same sanctions hence why they have been this active on the transfer market. When both Cadena Ser and...

    La Liga 14/15

    According to Cadena Ser and Cadena Cope (well-known Spanish radio stations) both Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid will be sanctioned by FIFA for the same offenses that FC Barcelona were found guilty of last year. RFEF have apparently already been informed by FIFA that those 2 clubs will be...

    Bundesliga

    RM are bound to win their 11th CL title and become the first team to win the CL back to back in the modern era. Bale will score the deciding winner again. Nothing anyone can do to prevent this from happening.

    Serie A 2014/2015

    They are the Italian version of Eibar. I would personally have preferred a bigger and more traditional club to be promoted instead of them. Bologna should definitely return to Serie A and I would like to see a traditional club like Pro Vercelli back too along with Bari. The first two have won...

    Lliga: Barca - Getafe 6-0

    Always a pleasure to trash Getafe. The game can be summed up with this picture alone. MSN are already better statistically than the Henry-Eto'o-Messi trio from our iconic treble season. Speaks volume.

    Bundesliga

    There is only one good team in the Bundesliga nowadays and that team is called Bayern. The only German team that has showed anything in Europe historically and recently outside of Dortmund during the 2012-13 season. Sevilla would be a serious contender for the Bundesliga title had Bayern played...
