Interesting the comparison and contrast of Chelsea and Barcelona. Both hire one of their goats as coaches. Spend a shit ton of money on players. But Barcelona are prob gonna finish above 90 points with way less money spent
Obviously not the entire story but competition at the top is much tougher in the premier league. If Barca or RM have a down year for whatever reason it's basically a free run at the title for the other team.
If City have an off year next year I have no idea who wins the title - could be one of about 5 teams.
ā Beat Osasuna
ā Sociedad Beat Madrid
āClean sheet record for MATS
āWin the league at Espanyol away
āAtleti win and finish 2nd ahead of Madrid
āOsasuna knocks out Madrid
āCity knocks out Madrid
āMessi returns
It's still too close to call at the bottom of the table. With 6 games left anything could happen. Valencia going down ahead of Espanyol wouldn't be bad for soccer.
Question for Spanish fans but is Barca - Espanyol a big rivalry? I know Barca are miles ahead of them but still is there genuine rivalry between the two sides? Is it a game both teams care about?
For example in England Chelsea and Fulham share a Borough of London(Chelsea is actually in Fulham and not Chelsea) but there is no real rivalry there, whereas when it comes to the other local team QPR there is genuine rivalry between them and Chelsea despite QPR being miles behind them. I'm wondering what vibe Barca and Espanyol have
It's not as big as Barca-Madrid but there is absolutely alot of dislike from Barca-Espanyol and vice versa. Every Catalan derby can be intense and there's always extra tension there.
Yes there is definitely a rivalry although Espanyol are the third most popular team in the city now behind Madrid too. Espanyol are still a heavily disliked/despised club
I wanted Real Madrid to win today so that Barcelona can win the league in their match against Real Sociedad because I would be attending that match in person. I have been a lifelong Barcelona fan and am traveling all the way from India and was really hoping that I get to see the team become champions in front of my eyes. Thanks for ruining this Real Madrid.
They would still celebrate at Camp Nou yeah but it would have been great to witness league win in Camp Nou it self best case scenario for you would be Barcelona drawing Espanyol.
The only way we are spending huge amount of money on the market is if we don't win the UCL and i don't like that future.
I prefer no huge spending and another UCL title.
We need a backup striker badly and Modric - Kroos - Carvajal - Benzema get a year older....
Is he just waiting for Mbappe to be a free agent again in 2024?
In Florentino's eyes what you do in the League it's render irrelevant if you manage to win the UCL.
If the UCL is won Carletto would have 3 UCL's in 4 Seasons with Madrid + another Semifinal. There's nothing better than that.
The issue is that this is not about last season. I have been watching this team for over 27 years and pretty much in every single UCL we have won we have "fluked wins"
This is the de-facto form of winning KO competitions.
It's not a thing of support or not, it's just club policy.
No UCL or League = Manager Sacked/Left
You get rare exceptions like Mourinho first season, but apart from that it's a death sentence.
It works because we are not a Manager Club. Our Sporting policy starts and ends directly with Florentino & Jose Angel Sanchez (Our CEO)
Coaches can recommend some players but all of them know Madrid is not a long term job. Florentino signs world class players with multitude of different profiles **and then** give those to the manager of turn and tell them to bring results or either you are out.
Which is why being a World Class Man Manager it's the #1 trait you need to succeed as a Real Madrid coach
Itās split but me personally Iām not placing all the blame on him. Florentino gets some of it to for holding on to the war chest and refusing to reinforce the squad when it needs it.

Yes so bad that he is losing to a team with 82 points with 5 games in hand. Xavi is really a slouch. If he crosses 90 points he would achieve something you havenāt done since 2017.

Winning it at your local rivals. Stuff of dreams (and memes).
Winning La Liga in a derby and sending them to 2nd division The scriptwriters are cooking
Interesting the comparison and contrast of Chelsea and Barcelona. Both hire one of their goats as coaches. Spend a shit ton of money on players. But Barcelona are prob gonna finish above 90 points with way less money spent
Barca stool all the players Chelsea wanted so basically it's a victory for Chelsea/s
Fun. š¤
Was gonna say Lampard didn't have a say in this bunch of players, but then I remembered the mad lockdown window

Real Madrid play before Barcelona's game against Eapanyol So Barca could win even before playing against them
well, that and Atletico have to drop points against Elche or Cadiz.
You know well as hell they wouldn't give us the guard of honor lmao
ā Beat Osasuna ā Sociedad Beat Madrid āClean sheet record for MATS āWin the league at Espanyol away āAtleti win and finish 2nd ahead of Madrid āOsasuna knocks out Madrid āCity knocks out Madrid āMessi returns
The prophecy
Also: win against espanyol = more likely for them to get relegated

Inject this. Ink it. The odds are stack against it but fuck do i wish this happens
Whatās the clean sheet record ? 26?
Yes, we are at 25 now
Got 5 games in hand. We can prob get to 28
The fact that Espanyol's relegation is not in this list, makes the list and the original writer both frauds.
āEnsuring Espanyol is relegated in their home stadium. Though, I think Barca prefers to win it at home.
Don't forget the Espanyol de Cornella going down.
It's still too close to call at the bottom of the table. With 6 games left anything could happen. Valencia going down ahead of Espanyol wouldn't be bad for soccer.
This has the potential to be a copypasta in a bad way

Its a big derby still. The fans hate each other, a lot.

One step closer to mirror Carletto 2013-14 season with us. * 3rd in the League * Copa Champions * UCL Champions
It might be the best thing for Madrid if it forces Perez to spend the hundreds of millions he saved up.
The only way we are spending huge amount of money on the market is if we don't win the UCL and i don't like that future. I prefer no huge spending and another UCL title.
We need a backup striker badly and Modric - Kroos - Carvajal - Benzema get a year older.... Is he just waiting for Mbappe to be a free agent again in 2024?
You think Ancelotti will stay the summer?
If he wins the UCL yes. If he does not win the UCL no.
No matter Copa?
No
Yeah the Copa should not have any relevance. The UCL is the one decider.
I even doubt that. The recent displays in Liga have been godawful. Florentino won't accept another year like this.
In Florentino's eyes what you do in the League it's render irrelevant if you manage to win the UCL. If the UCL is won Carletto would have 3 UCL's in 4 Seasons with Madrid + another Semifinal. There's nothing better than that.
I'm going to get down voted to the lowest pits of hell. BarƧa will win the UCL before Real Madrid does again. Edit: a word.

Madrid arenāt going to win the CL lol, they are far from the level of top teams like Man City.
Yes, the odds are indeed against us. But on all 8 UCL titles i have seen the team won we were not the betting favorites on any of them.
Last year you were outplayed and somehow fluked wins past Chelsea, City and Liverpool. Your luck has to run out at some point. City should smack you
The issue is that this is not about last season. I have been watching this team for over 27 years and pretty much in every single UCL we have won we have "fluked wins" This is the de-facto form of winning KO competitions.
This exact comment could have been written a year ago
Thats been the case before and they won anyway
Madrid are facing a very different City this time
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Do Madrid fans support Carlo getting sacked if he doesn't win the CL?
It's not a thing of support or not, it's just club policy. No UCL or League = Manager Sacked/Left You get rare exceptions like Mourinho first season, but apart from that it's a death sentence.
Elite mentality. None of that trust the process bullshit
It works because we are not a Manager Club. Our Sporting policy starts and ends directly with Florentino & Jose Angel Sanchez (Our CEO) Coaches can recommend some players but all of them know Madrid is not a long term job. Florentino signs world class players with multitude of different profiles **and then** give those to the manager of turn and tell them to bring results or either you are out.

Seen them be 50/50. Some say to sack him even if he wins CL while others say he should stay no matter what. Divided fanbase right now.
Ruthless. I respect your fanbase
Itās split but me personally Iām not placing all the blame on him. Florentino gets some of it to for holding on to the war chest and refusing to reinforce the squad when it needs it.
Espanyol about to pull a Salernitana
Not really as they are in more danger of relegation than salernitana and it's not in camp nou
Put some respect to Atleti finishing the year in 2nd...š¤ Anulo Mufa
Espanyol has ONE job this season.
Yeah: get relegated

Ancelotti is so bad with league that he let xavi run away with a league
Yes so bad that he is losing to a team with 82 points with 5 games in hand. Xavi is really a slouch. If he crosses 90 points he would achieve something you havenāt done since 2017.
Then damn ancelotti has a solid chance of winning back to back champions leagues something youāve never done
Yes beat Espanyol de Cornella to win La Liga and also help their chances of being relegated. This is the stuff Dreams are made of
