9000 Atleti fans expected in Valencia tomorrow!

SantryRed

XI Atlético de Madrid: Courtois, Juanfran, Godín, Miranda, Filipe, Tiago, Gabi, Arda, Koke, Villa y Costa.

Biggest game of the season for Atlético. A win here and you'd nearly be certain of them beating Malaga next week to be crowned champions. Going to be a very tough game.

Amirani

Atleti are 1 down. This ain't good. OG from Luis.

Lucas Hood

Atleti Haven't won here since 2007.

No this perfect. The league needs to be decided on the final day.:D

SantryRed

Atletico starting to dominate the game now. Two subs have worked a treat.

AdamD

Costa is insufferable.

Mars Bar

My god. Levante are really spoiling the party.

Pudsy33

Holy **** the title race has just been blown wide open.

LostBoy101

Great play from Levante.

Amirani

Can't believe they've gone and messed it up here.

Isn't it the story of the league? They all keep slipping up at the same time. Really annoyed now with Barca for drawing!

Real's head to head record is inferior. So even though it's six points. It's really 7.
Barcelona can still win if Atleti draw their next game. Real, will require a bit more effort to work out as I think they have two games in hand?

Lucas Hood

Am I right saying that if Atleti lose this but they and Real both win their remaining ganes , Atleti win on the head to head ?

Moneymaker

Well this is gonna make Barca v Atleti on the final day very interesting.

Barca could hand the title to Madrid on the final day.

Exactly
Real's games are interesting too.

I think that's the case. Although obviously they have to play Barca on the last day.

If you'd bother your ass to coach them during the game rather than idly post on an Irish soccer forum then it might not have been unbelievable!:mad:

Why would Barca not win it if they beat Athletico in final game and therefore are level on points with Athletico and superior head to head?

Real would be 3 points clear, if they win all of their last games.

2 now yeah, I think? 6 points behind Athleti with 2 games in hand.

Jelle1880

Yeah, they play later today though and again on Wednesday I just saw.

If they win all their games (possible I'd say) they're champions, Atletico need them to lose 1 of those games and win all theirs to win it.

I would have liked Atletico to win it but this sets up a cracking finish to the season.

SantryRed

Atletico are on 88 with 2 games left.
Barca are on 85 with 2 games left.
Real are on 82 with 4 games left.

Atletico have the head to head on Real.
Barca have the head to head on Real.
Barca will have the head to head on Atletico if they win the final day.

If they go into the final day as expected, (Alteltico 91, Real 91, Barca 88) and Madrid take the lead v Espanyol with the Barca v Atletico game in the balance, it'll be very interesting to see what kind of approach Barca take.

Barca would need Espanyol to beat Madrid to win it, and I can't see Espanyol putting up much of a fight for that to happen! :pac:

The_Kew_Tour

feel sorry for Atletico fans after that. reminded me of the West Ham v Man Utd game in 95.

its not over yet though of course. cracking finish in prospect

Amirani

Seems to be more racist stuff in Spain again this week. They really need to sort it out.

elefant

Get in Mathieu. Would love if Valencia could stop Real winning the title.

Ulysses Gaze

Valencia putting the cat amongst the pigeons here.

1-0 header by Mathieu. Bad defending from Real from corner.

Amirani

Didn't expect Valencia to do that. :eek:

MarkY91

barca must be so pissed off with their 2-2 draw seeing atletico lose and real losing atm..

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

Wow. This weekend has been crazy so far. Really hope Valencia hold on.

OG from Filipe Luis after about 6 mins and then they toiled all game against a Levante 'Bus' that led a charmed life at times.

Fluffed some chances and then got sucker-punched for the second on the break.

Some respects, similar to Liverpool Chelsea.

elefant

Love seeing Real get frustrated

Mars Bar

Something in the air in Madrid tonight. Real can't find a way through either!

Mars Bar

Ramos scores again!

Corholio

Goal scorer supreme Ramos!

elefant

Good goal tbf. Nicely done.

I can see a few more goals here.

user2011

Come on Valencia!!!

Ulysses Gaze

Amunt Valencia!

Mars Bar

Oh dear!

Ulysses Gaze

F!!k yes!

user2011

lol

elefant

If Valencia could play as well against Levante and Celta Vigo as against Barca and Real there'd be a 4 way battle at the top. Amunt!

Agueroooo

It's been a while since the La Liga has been this exciting ...what a day so far.

Mars Bar

Gonna be a great finish to this game
