La Liga 2018/19

[Luftstalag14]

No, it is not.

How is it not? Do elaborate please.

Under typical circumstance it would be yes, but we will have to play against them back to back at the Bernabeu in two weeks. I don't expect us to win both. If we lose the copa one we are out of the copa. If we lose the league one our lead is cut by another 3 points.

You're raising your blood pressure levels for nothing mate.

If we win tomorrow, it's 8 points with h2h advantage over Madrid. We can basically afford to draw 4 games more than them. Madrid struggle to fight on both CL and La Liga. They usually drop from the title fight if they are advanced in CL.

Edit: Last 7 games in my previous post. Not 9.

We can draw at Bernabeu and still go through (2-2, for instance). Or we can win both times. With Messi and Dembele.

Nah, I am trying to pre-empt it so my blood pressure doesn't get two high in 2 weeks.

Sometimes truth hurts but we will have to accept it.

Perfect week for RM .

I always knew they would come back in La Liga.

They will probably beat Atletico preety easily and put pressure on Barca.


Walk in the park for them , unreal.

casually quoting myself again

it's OVER

 

[El Gato]

It's over dude. It's done. You know it. We're never losing the league from this position. Your team and Atletico are useless and we know how to seal these league titles.

I didn't say you'd lose the league. I said in practice this isn't 'good' for Barcelona given the schedule. Sure, if Suarez and Dembele take care of business then league is sealed. But I'm not so sure you'll go completely blunderless, particularly when CL 1/4s pressure starts becoming a factor in their minds.

Sure, in theory we can win both. But in reality it is unlikely. We will be spent physically. I noticed that we need at least three days to recover these days.

Bilbao
Valladolid
Sevilla
Real
Rayo
Betis
Espanyol
Villareal
Atletico
--------------------------
Huesca
Sociedad
Alaves
Levante
Celta
Getafe
Eibar

If we come to the end of the first batch of games with 6 or more points advantage, then I'm confident we'll take it.

We will have 3 days to recover from Sevilla to our Copa match vs Madrid while Madrid has a La Liga game on Sunday so they only have 2 days to recover before our Copa match.

We've got a week and 4 days between matches. We've got this.

This is only adding a 3rd team to contention for you to care about. Atleti aren't out by any stretch and you still have to go to San Mames, Villamarin, Pizjuan, Bernabeu and Balaidos. And Espanyol arriving at Camp Nou. I agree with [MENTION=18429]Morten[/MENTION] really to some extent. This isn't 'good' for you.

Nope, I would MUCH rather have Real and Atleti 8 and 9 points from us (If we win tomorrow) or 6 and 7 (Draw) 5 and 6 (Loss) than Atleti within 3-6 points of us. Bilbao will be hard tomorrow as will Real and Sevilla away, the others you mentioned are just normal tough La Liga fixtures which you and Atleti will have games similar to. Also never said it was "good" for us, I said you winning or a draw was the "best" result for us as Atleti before the Betis game were 18 unbeaten, I thought that might have been a one off game and they would continue grinding those results out but thanks to Real they don't have a chance to be within 3 points of us.

 

[Barcaman]

Thought we didn't care about La Liga.

 

[Joan]

What should we care about if not the league
