La Liga 2017/18

Good save from Oblak
 
Don't look like either of these teams intend to score tonight
 
Atletico can be very frustrating at times. Won't go out of their comfort zone at all. First game of the season on the new stadium, big occasion, against the 19th place, and they still won't play attacking football without restraint.

Yeah. They get that tag of being the big team that plays like a small team.

Usually once they get into the season and get a bit of rhythm behind them, they start to perk up. In particular you normally see a bit more adventure and a bit more art against the weaker teams. They started slow last season as well.

A bit of a shame that they aren't more up for up for it on their first night with Wanda. Or perhaps, they're more scared of opening with a loss.
 
Correa is a very good player.

Glad to see him prospering after his heart condition.
 
If Griezmann is available for 100m. next summer, Barca need to get him. Put the money on the table and convince him.

Terrible team to watch as a neutral.

Unless they play a better team. They are unable to provide the show themselves, but will make a top team struggle, and that's nice to see for neutrals.
 
Around the Metropolitano there are conmemorative plaques with players who have played more than 100 games with the club. With some of them what happened was inevitable :lol:
 
Berizzo seems to be obsessed with rotation. Jesus Navas, Kjaer, Pareja and Escudero are not even part of the squad to get a rest, while Pizarro and nolito are injured.
We'll probably start with something like this:

Sergio Rico - Corchia, Carrico (c), Lenglet, Carole - N`Zonzi, Banega, Ganso - Sarabia/montoya, Muriel, Correa

Hopefully getafa has a bad day and Muriel finds his shooting boots.

Why don't they like him?
 
Mayoral to start. Ceballos on the bench. I just don't even....:nervous:

Ah well, Anoeta is Bale's favourite stadium, he's scored there all 4 times he played. Hopefully he'll make 5 out of 5. And it doesn't end like 14/15
 
Big night for Mayoral. Bale needs to play well if Real are to win.

2-2 draw please.
 
Mayoral as a starter is certainly interesting.

Does anyone know why Kroos isn't in the squad?

Is this the last match @cristiano is sitting out?
