You saw that already with the first goal. Jumped 1m under the ball from a slow cross set piece and left Garcia completely alone in his back. You'd expect such an amateur defending from a 18y old in his first season, but I remember him already playing in the Bundesliga when MAtS was still in Germany.....Ricardo Rodriguez about as good as Cancelo in defence![]()
Not really hard. Spanish league in general lost quality in the last years. Blancos are the only ones with normal finances and La-Masia saves our ass. Not that surprising to see, both clubs dominate most LL opponents now. Although in Madrid's case, Xabi makes it a bit more interesting.Betis is a weird team. Looking at the table, they are having a great season with few goals conceded, but if you only watched them against us and RM, you would think they’re in danger of being relegated. 10 of 24 goals conceded in those two games, damn. Hard to draw too many conclusions from this.
In 2010-2015 the dominance of barca and real ( and Atletico at times) was even bigger with many seasons where both of them got more than 90 pointsNot really hard.
