La Liga 2018/19

Álvaro Benito, the former player, has been fired from Madrid.
He was quite known because he also works at the Chiringuito and on the radio.
He said that Kroos and Casemiro were very far from their level.
What is relevant about all this is that Raúl stops training children and stays with juvenil B(17/18 years)
It also seems that he is not the only one who talks about Kroos these days :D
 
Poor defeat from Rayo, simply haven't taken advantage of a decent fixture run. Can't defend crosses or corners at all and Stuani inevitably took full advantage.
 
Should be an interesting Clasico tonight. We're coming off of that odd Copa del Rey game, Arthur should be ready to play for us, and I'm curious to see how Madrid set up and just generally how they approach the game in terms of personnel and importance. I imagine they'll want to win this one badly, as they prioritized the Copa Clasico which didn't leave a good taste for them so now it's time to recover their image. Also, I can't imagine Solari being indifferent to two consecutive El Clasico defeats at home so I think Madrid will approach this game with more urgency than they initially planned. Barça, on the other hand, should be comfortable in our position at the moment and, given the result on Wednesday, I hope we play some more positive football instead of just focusing on protecting our goal. We can also afford to put in an effort tonight because after this one we host Rayo Vallecano before playing Lyon so there's a chance to rest players.

If we win, it will be our 72nd Clasico victory in La Liga (Madrid now has 72 wins). In total, whoever wins tonight will lead all-time official El Clasico wins 96-95. It's the least important Clasico to be played this season, but it should be an interesting one.

Espanyol 3-1 Valladolid. Espanyol move 11 points from safety, while Valladolid are 16th only 3 points from safety. Rayo missed out last night to close the gap
 
Strong line-ups for the Clasico, no players being rested other than Lucas Vazquez.
 
Sergi Roberto vs Vinicius is a red card waiting to happen.
 
Sevilla not beating Huesca now,don't see them finishing 4th.

Will have to bail themselves out in europa as usual.
 
Wait I thought this was actually over, Huesca score in 98th minute!
 
The defenders went missing like the kids in the Blair Witch Project.
 
Lately against Barcelona, Madrid look like Bambi.
Except in the Supercopa last season I do not remember the last big game against them in the Bernabéu
 
How does the best centerback of this generation play? Does this count as a big game or not?
 
Loving this performance by Barca, especially the backline

Ter Stegen for 10 mill. really was a steal. easily one of their best transfers in the last 20 years. only 26, so they don't have to worry about that position for quite a while.
