La Liga Superthread 2016/17

S.M.B.

At least it's not affecting the Sevilla players.

Should be level at least.

Laws aren't set in stone if you are Real Madrid this season .
What is given at one end as a penalty is ignored at the other,what is handball at one end is play on at the other end,what is offside at one end is onside at the other ,etc etc.

Navas.
Stunning.

He's not worse than De Gea I think.

MisterAnarchy

Sevilla have gotten one back,lovely finish by jovetic.

TheCitizen

Not like Real to benefit from something dodgy

MisterAnarchy

That's some finish by Ronnie, deadly.
Defender was cowardly though, hands behind back and turned away.

Turtwig

Such are the margins. Jovetic had one earlier that hit the angle of the woodwork, Ronnie blazes it just inside with a beauty of a shot.

S.M.B.

Two very nice finishes there.

Turtwig

Real really do out play teams in the final 10 minutes.

GavRedKing

Could easily have been 4 - 4.

Title is Reals now surely.

Assuming Barca beat Eibar in the Nou Camp, 4 points from Celta and Malaga do it for them, but no less than that - and both are away games.

Celta away and malaga away will not be routine.
Celta will be well up for it Wednesday

Celta have pretty much given up now, have been dirt in the league for weeks now.

Turtwig

Celta have been playing a weakened team in the league but I don't think their current form even with strongest XI should trouble Madrid. Thing is though Madrid don't travel that well at the moment. They still get the results - but only barely. Malaga and Celta away are tough fixtures.

That said, it'd be much more preferable for me if Barca's last game was Malaga away.

Malaga will roll over. An ex-Madrid coach and didn't their owner call Barcelona "Catalunyan scum". It's all on Celta so it is still pretty much over on form.

S.M.B.

Because they've been playing a B team while they concentrated on the europa league.

Hopefully they'll want to bounce back after the disappointment of being harshly knocked out.

C'ant see anything but 2 big wins for Real. Squad depth is well....very deep.

Celta to spurn madrid's double dream tonight.

history means nothing! Unless you are a Liverpool fan!!

GreNoLi

Disillusioned Rossoneri fan actually.

Ivefoundgod

Am I gone mad or are sky not showing the Madrid game?

The Talking Bread

Sky Sports Mix, whatever that is.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Great left footed strike from Ronaldo from outside the box.1-0 to Real Madrid

S.M.B.

ugh, another great finish from ronaldo

GreNoLi

Why pass when you can do that, one nil to Ronaldo.

The Talking Bread

nice goal by Ronaldo......

Game.Set.LaLiga

JaMarcusHustle

12 goals in his last 8 games when there's been huge pressure. Not a bad return.

GreNoLi

Celta really should be level, played well.

JaMarcusHustle

He's unstoppable.

GreNoLi

Ice cold, Isco is world class, 2-0.

Turtwig

That is surely the league for Madrid. Cannot see them losing to Malaga.

GreNoLi

Never a yellow ref, just play on, Aspas double yellowed.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Dreadful refereeing to send off Aspas.

First yellow was for dissent when Aspas complained about a clear handball not being given and he gets the second yellow for diving when Ramos in my opinion fouled him and it wasn't a dive.

zuutroy

Hilarious refereeing in this game.

S.M.B.

More salt in the wounds with decisions going Madrids way.

GreNoLi

lol bizarre, assistant manager sent off.

Jelle1880

This ref has lost the plot, insane scenes.

JaMarcusHustle

If Celta stopped diving, they might have something to complain about.

GreNoLi

Big save Navas.

Jelle1880

Celta get one back through Guidetti (deflection though).

They've done very well since going a man down.

GreNoLi

Madrid concede, lost their heads at the back.

Dirty Dingus McGee

3-1 now.Game over again.

GreNoLi

lol game over.

Jelle1880

And Benzema restores the 2 goal difference right away.

GreNoLi

One in a million miss by Ronaldo, taking the mick.

sky88

Oh Ronnie

MisterAnarchy

It's every week now that there is some sort of a refereeing incident when Real play.
They have good resilience under Zidane this season and he has instilled a never say die attitude in the team however the amount of luck they have had in matches especially La Liga has been ginormous.
Their luck is going to run out and I strongly fancy Juventus to so a job on them next month.

It's not really though.
