La Liga Superthread 2016/17

JaMarcusHustle

Jesus the commentary is brutal. They've already confused Iniesta for Mathieu, Neymar for Messi and Griezmann for Gameiro.

LuckyGent88

Athleti all over barca so far. Barca can't get out of their half.

Liam O

Barca's defence looking very fragile.

Bridge93

Good refereeing that. Great spot

Andersonisgod

Goal! Goal Barcelona! It's Rafinha Alcantara. Massive goal for this season's Liga title race.

Godin strikes back, the slightest of touches.

Andersonisgod

Just no control in this team.

I don't really blame him, he had no time to react.

That's gonna be a huge goal this season.

Skylinehead

Shocking defending there

Burial.

Messi bailing them out again.

Andersonisgod

Yes! Goal Messi! Kicking and screaming, he's dragging this team closer to the top of the summit. The greatest!

Turtwig

Busquets has been immense today.

5T3PH3N

Great to get the win, Real have a tough game later, hopefully they drop points.

Andersonisgod

Bloody yes! Come on! It wasn't a pretty performance at all but this group has fight, it has character and it has Messi and that could be enough to win the league.

Both goals by Barcelona were very scrappy ,the first one was like pinball.
Very unlike Atletico to concede such soft goals.

Does this not contradict a lot of what you have been saying about Barcelona??? I honestly don't know where you stand with the team, not sure you do!!

Not this season, they've been poor.
Im in 2 minds about the league, in a way if Barca won the league it'd paper over a lot of big issues there.

I'd never doubt the fight in this group of players, I would strongly question the setup though. At times today the midfield may aswell not exist with the amount the ball flew over their heads or went around them.

Its a miracle! Barca win a game!

Villarreal can't score goals, Madrid should thump them.

Still another big win away from home for Barcelona.

The_Kew_Tour

Fair play to Barca. Grinding out these results is sign of team willing to fight.

Jan_de_Bakker

What a joke, Thats it La Liga is over , Real Madrid will lose tonight v VillaReal ... and thats that

Another Treble for Barca ..... corrupt fix.

I know you are just looking for a reaction/troll fix AGAIN but I couldn't resist........Whaaatttt?

Too Tough To Die

Has Ronaldo had a touch yet?

Burial.

Deserved lead

Johner

2-0, not a good week for Real.

Andersonisgod

This is going well. Cracking match, unbelievable talent on show and Villareal leading!

Andersonisgod

They've cut open Madrid! Bakambu has the power and the speed to get him into the position, his finish has all the class of a striker on the rise in world football. Villareal have been wonderful, Real Madrid are collapsing.

Will Barca be sending you a paycheck then when they win the league ?

Burial.

Always loved seeing Bruno play ball. Shame he never gets much of a run for the country.

I don't know what you mean?

Andersonisgod

I don't like Samu at all but can't deny he's an excellent player. Jaume Costa has dealt so well with Bale, back pocket stuff.

I'll kick myself now...

Johner

2-2....

Andersonisgod

.....and Real Madrid get their penalty! As soft as you'd expect. Now he's booked Soldado and he's fighting with Escriba while the white hankies wave about in stands. It can only be La Liga.

Burial.

Not a penalty...video refs are way over due.

GavRedKing

Terrible call. Real have been ploddibg along for far too long this season.

The Talking Bread

How is Bale playing?

Burial.

Credit where it's due, impressive turn around...Villarreal shat the brick though

sky88

Terrible goalkeeping

Villereal don't deserve that

Johner

This would be a massive win considering the circumstances.

Jan_de_Bakker

GET IN !!!!

GavRedKing

Villareal have been robbed here but that goalkeeping is shocking.

Looking very rusty

What's the point in even pretending any more? That penalty was an absolute joke. But is standard when Real are involved.

LuckyGent88

Impressive turn around from Madrid but Villarreal just went into their shell and invited all the pressure on.

Would have been very interesting to see the reaction of the real fans and hierarchy if they had lost again.

SlickRic

That Real penalty was a farce. There is no way the ref can give that if he saw it.

Happens too often for it not to be considered a directive imo. Soft penalties given. Stone wall penalties not awarded against. It's a disgrace.
