La Liga

2-0 FT for Barca. Still at the top, with 4 points on Valencia.

Atletico and Real play today. Celta are a bit tricky for Simeoneā€™s side.

Gameiro. Atletico 1-0 up at HT.
1-0 win for Atletico.
Bilbao lose. Leganes are 5th!

Eibar parking the bus. Real canā€™t find a way through.
Good header by Ramos. 1-0. They could only score in this way.
Ramos almost caused an own goal now.

Asensio :grin:

2-0. Good goal.
WHAT A SHOT!

Canā€™t help but wonder if the likes of Mbappe and Asensio have what it takes to one day be held in the same regard as Messi.

Hard to imagine anyone ever will, but I guess these two in particular are standing out so much that if anyone from their generation as the slightest chance, they do.

2-0 Real at HT. They did the business, but they didnā€™t play well.

They donā€™t, but MbappĆ© can and very like will get very close. Can certainly be held in the same regard as Henry or OG7 some day.

Yeah MbappĆ© can get close but wonā€™t surpass imo. Messi has a very well rounded game, itā€™s hard to imagine MbappĆ© developing something similar without his goalscoring being affected.

Isco bottles the third.
Guess @AbouCuellar loved this CR7ā€™s freekick.

Anyone have vids of the first and 2nd goals? (Particularly the Asensio one)

CR7 :arteta:
Eibar not giving up. Well done to them.
Marcelo kills the game off.

CR7 :facepalm:

Crazy that such a limited player will probably get the BalĆ³n dā€™Or again tomorrow and is even considered by some (cough idiots cough) to be better than Messi. The power of the Madrid media machine.

Madridistas are just retarded, right?

Ronaldo is a freak of nature, his only problem is he happened to exist at the same time as Messi. Poor sod.

3-0 FT for Real. Job done, despite playing crap.

Cristiano was ā€˜a freak of natureā€™, if you want to use that phrase, until about 2014-15. But even then he was never above the level of greats like fat Ronaldo (the better player, without doubt), Ronaldinho, Zidane, or Henry, despite his otherworldly/inflated numbers.

Since 2014-15 heā€™s just a very good specialist who happens to win Balons dā€™Or. This season so far heā€™s not anything but bad.

@AbouCuellar is right. I have seen CR7 missing a lot of goals this season.
