"From champs to chumps... in the same year" | The Other Teams Thread

Isn't he an attacking midfielder? Wonder how he'd fit in, maybe take the ageing Emerson's spot and a change of formation to a 4-4-1-1 with Guerrero alone up top?

I think they could use another centerback, fullback, striker, and maybe one more winger due to Danilo's age. I'd be surprised if they keep Paulinho for another year, surely he'd want to move on now. Almost 25 years old.

I don't know, looked like his foot was right next to the defender's face. Even some LPB fans saying that the goal shouldn't have stood.

They're in total control and leading right now anyways so it's all but over.

 

87' at Bernabeu. Espanyol makes it 2-2 YES! (obv risk jinxing it, but w/e, just happy to see them score).

 

2-2 !!!! Albin , lol @ pepe rolling around on the ground holding his head like an idiot while they got thier goal

now lets hope they hold that till the end

 

GOOOOL ALBIN!!

Yes!

 

So, a draw in the lower table Barcelona team vs. Madrid team. Now let's see how the best teams of the cities play.

 

Thank you Espanyol!

We can go 13 clear of LPB and 9 clear of Atleti tonight, massive if we win. Could go as far as giving us the title back.

 

"Please give me a penelty "

 

lol Espanyol, 19th in the table...
C'mon Mourinho, walk out to the middle of the pitch after your players exit and let's see what kind of reaction the crowd gives you now. F--kin' over-inflated jerk.

 

I don't believe it's his fault anyway...

Real Madrid individual thinking can only go so far, last year they won from it but it ends some point.
Barca are back were they belong..

Seriously who from the front 4 tracks back to help?
It seems like their reserve products out there give more heart then most of those players with the big salaries..


Anyway it's all because their focusing on the CL this year

That's why they finished 2nd in their group???

 

sounds like something a madrid fan would say. oh wait, ........nah

 

They're becoming more and more shitty since more and more Portuguese player joining the boat.

 

Haha..loved it! Ramos was admiring his "clearance" while Albin snuck past him to receive the ball.

 

Mourinho is lacking ....

 

They're focusing on winning the CL this year

 

Funny too how they automatically got appointed "top 2 team in Europe" from 2010-present. Based on what exactly??

 

I believe they're 4th in coefficient behind manU then Bayern then Barca 1st..

I think last time I heard or checked..

 

Just realized that Rafa Benitez has already managed in 3 Club WC finals (losing 2).

 

^^^
He earned his first trip but inherited the other two.
And iirc, the 2005 final Liverpool v Sao Paulo was played just hours after Benitez had learned about the death of his mother.
