Real play at the Mestalla today where they haven't won in like five years. Valencia will probably play a second string but would go 7 clear off Real who might even drop to 5th if Villarreal win their game later today

I've probably jinxed it now but that'd be fucking spectacular

Has any post like this ever worked out well in the history of anything ffs. Oh well they should thank Navas for keeping them in the game, even with half their starting XI rested Valencia gave Madrid a horrid time. Kondogbia looks the complete package nowadays

Real's last goal was very nice.

Why would Valencia play 2nd string?

Just played 120 minutes in the CDR three days ago plus they have Barcelona 2x (semifinals) and Atletico in between coming up within the space of around a week starting next Wednesday.

If Marcelino manages to still be ahead of Real at the end of February he should get manager of the season ahead of Valverde in my opinion

Marcelino might be getting the Real job if he finishes higher than Real at the end of the season.

That Kongdobia vs. Casemiro event was just hilarious:

..penalties too.

Messi hits the woodwork again lol.
Tbf,this one was prolly covered by the gk.

arsedocmd

Replay shows it was a brilliant save.

arsedocmd

Another goal by suarez to draw barca level. Dunno how much it was deflected by piques arm.

arsedocmd

And another free kick goal for the winner. Goalie should've saved this one I think.

QuincyAbeyie

Of course Messi scores with a freekick. 😆

arsedocmd

Penalty against barca missed by ref. Not good to see.

arsedocmd

Oh wow, the free kick shouldn't have been there either. This stinks.

arsedocmd

Wait though, isn't it ok to touch the ball after you come into an onside position?

Irishgunner

How did Coutinho play? Is he taking over Iniesta's role in midfield?

QuincyAbeyie

He didn't do anything noteworthy, started on the wing. Iniesta, Paulinho and Rakitic in the middle.

Tactics

He looked better on his debut. Barca looked slow and lethargic the othe night. Probably due to Busquet's absence who speeds up their play with his 1 touch passing and/or the new midfield make up. Oh and they shouldn't be playing Coutinho on the right, he's far better on the left or in the centre

TambourineMan

Barca at full strength?

----------Suarez----Messi--------
Coutinho-Busquets--Rakitic-Dembele
Alba-------Umtitti-Pique-----Semedo
------------Ter Stegen------------

Would be ridiculously good.

QuincyAbeyie

Iniesta in for Rakitic and I reckon you're there. Though Rakitic has been better this season than the last one, I feel.

QuincyAbeyie

I think the commentator said that this first half was the only half this season that Barcelona haven't had a shot on goal. Coquelin DM and Gabriel in defence. It's possible to get these guys to defend.
