La Liga - 2014/15

Messi trying too much by himself there, but what a great dribble initially. Excellent tackle from Otamendi that was.

Sergi Roberto on for Xavi...
 
Messi had nothing left at the end. Hilarious stuff.

Big result. Great game to watch.
 
You make your own luck. But really, play that match recording without the goals and you'd never guess the score. Ah, Valencia - where are you going to find a goalscorer?
 
In January they were in meltdown and Lucho was on his way out. He didn't start the game with same 11 for half of the season. Fiddling, trying and failing. Pure luck kept them close behind Madrid. He didn't even find a formula, it was Messi and moments of brilliance from the other two that "got them going".

Today is just like half of the games this season, playing shit but when you have luck on your side, what else do you need..

I'm frustrated because we'll end up losing the league to Lucho fecking Enrique. Mental.
You know that's not the case. Messi, Neymar, Suarez and eventually great form by pique are the reason.
 
my guess is that he was very tired

But even then, it's more evidence for the decline of his 1v1 finishing I'd say... he's always wasted a lot of easy chances in his career, but the last two seasons it's become very frequent.

...and great saves by Bravo at certain times all season, and a couple of well-timed goals by Mathieu, and very good tactical understanding from Busquets, Rakitic and Xavi this season, etc.
 
yes, he hasnt been the same, but on the other hand, he has turned in a more complete player

True, in the recent games against RM, PSG and today Valencia he's the one that controlled the tempo when he moved into MF.
 
Don't know how Barca won that. But a very important win. This transfer ban is really going to hit Barca hard. They badly need a squad because you really can't play the same team 3 times a week and keep playing well.

Definitely.

I actually do think Madrid are the better team on the ball when in full flow. They have a better fluidity and dynamism in midfield. So I think Madrid fans would be very disappointed if they lose the title to barca (it can still go either way of course), but the again I think madrids front three is better. Who has the better defensive record?

Sums up how I feel.

You rate Real's front 3 higher than Barca's?
