Worst of the best
We're not even halfway yet in the season!
8 points behind and Barcelona have only dropped 2 points. It would take a hell of a turnaround.

I assume not many are still slagging off the quality of La Liga outside Real and Barc anymore?
All 4 sides through easily enough in the CL and non CL sides Betis and especially Atletico
looking very impressive indeed.
He's basically been that way since the Ronaldo-Messi creativity debate after the Dortmund game. When Benzema and Higuain were both injured and he went into the central role. Like he's been focusing more on creating rather than scoring and he's actually been doing quite well. He's been showing that he's actually a very good passer. Real however haven't been finishing their chances very well.
Penalcao
2-0, great counter attack and Arda finished it off via a deflection.
Will surely go down as a Spahic own goal.
Was denying a clear goalscoring chance. Spahic also should have went for a second yellow but the ref let him off.
Anyone think Atletico can finish ahead of Real? They seem to be taking this very seriously, rotating out fundamental players in the Europa League and all that. It hasn't happened for a long time, I'm sure.
You mean Madrid fans will want Jose out if they finish third and win the CL? I don't think so.Hasn't happened since 95/96, 16 seasons ago. Can't imagine the Madrid fans wanting to keep Jose if that happened, regardless of what they do in the Champions League!

I reckon so. Maybe Madrid fans might not want it but Perez might consider it. What were the circumstances in the Del Bosque sacking after his CL win? I can't imagine they'd be any worse than finishing below Atletico along with all this Portuguese-Spanish rift nonsense.
Del Bosque got the bullet after a Champions League win and Capello got the door after winning La Liga.
Madrid are notoriously trigger-happy when it comes to firing managers. Although I severely doubt Mourinho's ego would let it go to that stage, he'd "resign" well before then and attach it to some sort of rift with the board. There's no way he's having a sacking on his C.V.
Got to love Levante's sign near the away locker room; "you might win here, but you will definitely suffer"
Isn't Martins like 40 by now?
All XI players on the pitch for Barca are from La Masia. Amazing.
Fantastic, what a great club.
Can you post the starting 11?
Valdes
Alves(Montoya came on after 10/15 mins)-Pique-Puyol-Alba
Xavi-Busquets-Fabregas
Pedro-Messi-Iniesta
Gotta love Barca tbf.
Atletico have had their best league start in the clubs history. They spent 1 million euros in the summer and lost their most creative player from last season.
