Didn't Granada play some beautiful fluent attacking football just a season or two ago? They're fecking abysmal in attack.
 
Just seen the Real Madrid penalty decision, howling decision, clearly hit his head.
 
Messi misses an easy chance. Really anonymous in this game. Fitness issue?
Didn't watch the game, but judging from the vid posted on the last page he produced the game's key moment nevertheless: He was the decisive man for the goal (with a little help from Suárez), bringing the ball from 40 yards out through the whole of Granada's defense, right onto Rafinha's foot.
 
In the 4-1 win over Alaves, Real Madrid were awarded a penalty kick for the first time since their March 20 game against Sevilla.

Since that day, they played 28 matches across LaLiga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey without receiving a single penalty.

We can't all be Barcelona and get penalties every game lol

I don't think any team has had a penalty like real got today

Really the ball hit his elbow and his head, but at the end of the day why lift your arm up into an unnatural position towards the ball. it's just asking for a handball call. Don't see how everyone is in a tissy about it. Keep your arms down and it does not get called. Simple.
 
Wow, didn't expect that when I saw Villarreal leading on 80 minutes. Some turnaround. And with that RM now the only unbeaten team in La Liga.

I really love Pedro Leon as a player, I think he is quite under valued by a lot of people and teams. Good to see him doing well.

Exactly. The ball bounced straight up so weird and he brought his elbow up at the same time. They had to show the replay like 3 times and do a zoom in before it showed hit did hit his head.

Not really an outrageous or controversial call.

Yeah, the club that has received more penalties in both UCL and La Liga history went through a "rough patch" not getting a single one in 4 months of competitive football, what a disgrace :(

Yes because this means we should not receive fair and legitimate calls lol, are you the editor for Sport.es by any chance?
 
Don’t get your knickers in a twist. Both Barca and Real are getting spoiled by the refs. Ronaldo can elbow-dive someone and would get a pen and when the wind is blowing in Barcelona, even the players on the bench are starting to dive.

Considering only C.L format the difference between Barsa and Madrid must be narrow.If we think about all the competition it's easy to be first since Madrid have played many more games.
In december 2015 the difference in la liga it was around 20, after Barsa record the distance must be narrow too :p

lol these comments...so salty, it's delicious
 
Andone finally scored for Depor. He deserved it,fighting a lot every game and being quite unlucky
 
Playing well this 2nd half. Almost assisted there with another good corner. Granada could win this.
 
A very enjoyable final half hour to an otherwise dire game... Granada play like a collection of individuals (not surprising given their situation) bereft of any squad cohesion and, as it seems, tactical framework but the mentality and fighting spirit shown by some of those individuals (Vezo, Lombán, Pereira, Samper, Cuenca) was excellent right there.

Oh, and yeah, what an effin' save from Ochoa that was. :eek::drool:
 
Atletico losing 2:0. Both pens were soft, but overall La Real deserves the points. Vela can be a great player. I enjoy watching him on his good days. He can also be incredibly frustrating.
