I was having these same thoughts. But you know Diego Simeone, he hates getting outdone. So no reason am like that.

Still, what would they be fighting for? They didn't win Barca when they were still in contention for the league and cup.

Iaz93:
Hmm! ATM wouldn't want to get beat the fourth time. That's what's giving me hope. My hope is also on every other team, but more on ATM.

Imagine losing on the title after finishing the season with 94 points. Chai!

Atletico would have already guarenteed a UCL spot by then which is their only realistic target.Plus why would they want to help Real when we ended their dream of winning a first UCL in the last 2 seasons.

scantee:
am talking about their performance nt number of goals bro, do u notice madrid lost 2 many ball possessions to Almeria? Even allow them penetrate freely in madridz box, only that they don't have good strikers if not...

You do know we started with players like Jese, Illara, Arbeloa, right?

scantee:
hatrick my dik balls. Unconvincing win

You don't expect us to win every game 9-1, do you?

usbcable:
He tends to put undye pressure on himself for not scoring.
And the media feeds on that as being a petulant selfish star.

I believe we will triumph over Sevilla its Valencia am scared of.

Sevilla has not dropped any point at home in the league this season.Not even to Barcelona that was tearing all teams apart.It won't be easy.

Iaz93:
My only hope now is on ATM. Even if na draw, biko! 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, 6-6, 10-10. The pressure is on Barca aii.

I believe we'll score our remaining matches.

Remember Barcelona has played ATM 3 times this season and won all three.I suggest you put your hope on every single team they play and hope for a miracle.If we lose the league by a mere 2 points, games vs Villarreal, vs Valencia where we should have gotten maximum points will haunt me.

usbcable:
Cordoba will be beaten blue black.
I hope we dont drop points again as I believe ATM will do us the favor of at least securing a draw and preferably a win against Barca.

Sometimes football can be unpredictable and anything can happen.Remember we almost dropped points there and it required an 89th minute PK to get maximum points.

@ Krasid
Why argue so much with them?
Why not simply activate the ignore button.
You may say your opinion but arguing days unending with them won't change their hatred for CR.
This is their thread you wont win any argument here.

Good point.Arguing won't remove an ounce of hatred barca fans have for CR7.Their hatred will always cloud their judgement and they won't be able to fully enjoy football if they find it hard to appreciate one of the greatest footballers of the current generation.

onuwaje:
Without doubt...
Mr krasid is. An ardent man utd fan who is a cr7 fanatic.. and he follows him wherever he goes.. if cr7 decides to come to warri wolves den warri wolves is his team..

I hated CR7 at united, i preferred Messi then.That's why i can't hate both now, but prefer Cr7 as a madrid fan.

homesteady:
No barcelona midfielder plays as advanced as Rodriguez!

True.Good point.

logica:
You no just sabi football. Give it a rest. It was NOT coincidence that the best results Portugal ever had were in Figo's era. Check the 2006 World Cup All Star Team:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup#All-star_team

Do you see C Ronaldo there? OK. Now, do you see Luis Figo there? OK.

If you really watched that world cup you would know that Ronaldo was one of the best young players at that tournament, and would have won it if it wasn't for the Rooney controversy.

homesteady:
All his goals are stunners does not mean he scores many goals!

Name 2 barca midfielders that has more.

logica:
Now let us analyze for your man C Ronaldo:

2004 Portugal (UEFA Euro), it was definitely Figo (and not C Ronaldo).
2006 Portugal, it was definitely Figo (again, and not C Ronaldo).

As soon as Figo exited the Portuguese national team, what happened to the team?

2014 Portugal (WC) who was the oga? C Ronaldo. Where stage did Portugal get to? He he. Don't even bother talking about his injury. The main reason that team didn't do well was a reflection of C.Ronaldo's leadership abilities and selfishness.No more

You forgot to add Euro 2012 where portugal were eliminated in the semi-finals on penalties by unarguably the most successful national team of the current generation or the 2010 WC where they met eventual winners spain in the round of 16.Name your top 10 greatest of all time.

logica:
It's not my fault that you type like a snail. I guess that's the way your brain works - snail pace. I edited that post like 15 minutes before you responded; yet you responded to the initial post.

Did I mention Euro's? Even 2006, was that C Ronaldo's team or FIGO's team? Even the Euro's, was it C Ronaldo's team or FIGO's team?

Wow i never knew Figo managed the team and also played in all positions on the field for you to term it 'FIGO's team'.Bottom line is Ronaldo was a regular in both teams that had portugal's best ever finish in international competitions.

logica:
Hahahaha...Ronaldo de Lima's shine was not dimmed by any other player; rather, it was injury to his knee. If he was in Messi's era, Messi would've had a worthy competitor. Not some whiny a$$ schmuck. Ronaldo de Lima won his first Balon D'Or at the age of 20. Not even Messi could manage that. That's who you are comparing Penaldo to? Penaldo that couldn't score a single goal in his first 26 Champions League games?

Oh OK. So now, Messi was in a legendary Argentine team; that's how he got to the World Cup Final eh? LMAO.

PS: Why can't you respond to the quiz I prepared for you? Sebi you are a Real Madrid fan. Wetin you sabi about Real Madrid?

Ronaldo was more of a winger during his early football career.That's why he is 2nd in the UCL all time assist chart only to Giggs.Try justifying R9's best tally of 47 goals for just one season playing as a striker.When last did CR score less than 50? You think messi alone carried his team to the final?

logica:
Check the edit dude. Now, you can go check your head. Nutcase.

Why did you edit it to final of WC when you knew you had been figured out? Portugal best finish at international competitions was a final at the Euro's and a semi final at the world cup.Guess what? CR7 was part of both teams, so i don't think he would look odd on the list.He has already been named the greatest portuguese footballer ever by the portugal football federation.He might never be considered as top 3 due to the lack of NT success, but he would at least make the top 10.BTW, have you made a research about the top 10 greatest of all time(check at least 5 source and tell me what you came up with.

logica:
Ronaldo de Lima did not need campaigns, crying, weeping and gnashing of teeth, throwing tantrums and REAL MADRID's FINANCIAL clout to win 3 Balon D'Ors. Matter of fact, if not for the long injury layoff of over 2 years he suffered he would've won 2 more Balon D'Ors. Let Penaldo go arrange his country to reach at least the Semi-Finals of the World Cup, then I can even look in his direction. You are really sick.

You are the sick one.How do you measure a player's greatness? Consistency plays a key role.If R9 was consistent like CR, you wouldn't be making excuses about him being injured.CR7 has been doing it for 9+ years now.How many ballon d'ors do you think R9 would have won if he played in the same era as Messi(who might possibly end his career as the G.O.A.T).Finally, you can't use the NT performance to judge since one played for a legendary brazilian team and another the Portugal NT.BTW, CR7 got to the semi-final of the 2006 WC.You should have know this b4 arguing.

homesteady:
This James Rodriguez, almost all his goals are stunners!

That's what Madrid paid for.He is unlucky to have been injured in his first season.Watch out for him next season.

logica:
You are as knowledgeable of football as an Indian rickshaw driver. CR7 and Ronaldo de Lima in the same sentence (never mind this one)? I really think something is bothering you on the head side. Get checked real quick.

Wait.So CR7 has 3 Ballon d'ors to Ronaldo 3, is the all time top scorer of his national team, j oint all time top scorer in the UCL, will definitely be the all time top scorer in one of the greatest clubs in the world, has more goals than R9 who was a striker, scored 50+ goals for 5 consecutive seasons to R9's 47 for one season, holds numerous records in world football and is not finished yet.But i am the one who should have my head checked for saying both can be mentioned in the same sentence.Try making a research of the top 10 G.O.A.T by football analysts and past players and share their opinions.

logica:
You mean, C Ronaldo is mentioned with the likes of Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Ronaldo de Lima, MESSI? When did that start?

If you consider Ronaldo de lima as one of the G.O.A.T and don't consider CR7, you need to start watching Cricket.

homesteady:
Messi did not perform well against PSG?

The q-final 2nd leg vs PSG was one of his lowest performance in the UCL this season.

dmcdad:
Wow... So Penaldo fanboys know the truth afterall. What a relief!

Yes.Ronaldo is a selfish, egoistic, arrogant prick.We like him that way.If we wanted a humble, selfless, boring player we would have gone for the midget.His Selfishness has made him one of the greatest players of all time.

ddippset:
are we talking about waking straight into the tunnel or we are talking about the gesticulations towards a team mate In front of 1 million cameras? O boy it's late o!

He was saying that ronaldo didn't even acknowledge the fans, which i said Messi did the same against PSG after a quiet performance.Both get annoyed when they don't perform well, Ronaldo is just more open with his reaction.

scantee:
hatrick my dik balls. Unconvincing win

Watch out for Cordoba this weekend.They would be motivated not to get relegated.

dmcdad:
As usual couldn't hide his anger and frustration. The worse was that, his supposed tap-in was played by Arbeloa, albeit Arbeloa could have (if he wanted) left it for him to tap-in.

After the game, he didn't even bother greeting players (as is custom) or even fans. He went straight to the dressing room with that kinda face. You know...

Messi walked straight into the tunnel after the 2nd leg vs PSG.Of course no one made a fuss because humble Messi never goes wrong.Do you know the kind of criticism such players get when they don't score for 2/3 matches?

If we play the way we did today against Sevilla on saturday then we can kiss la liga goodbye.And what is it with Ronaldo gettting angry at not scoring in a match The goals will come naturally if you have the quality.Good goal by James.

scantee:
lol ur head is there, i was even supriz to c him behave in such manner instead of celebrating with his team mates. Smh

If you really watch football then you would know that Ronaldo is Selfish.Stop playing the surprise act because we all know barca fans have criticised him a lot for this.It is a bad attitude which he needs to stop but has been one of the factors that has propelled him to the top.

Dahnify70:
Please Leicester, is it enyimba nick name? Or a brand of beer

Just one of the numerous teams that defeated United this season.

logica:
LOL. So Ronaldo de Lima is a midget? Have you seen him dribble the entire field in a Barca shirt? Or George Weah (especially in AC Milan)? By the way, in the list of dribblers, was Iniesta mentioned?

Peak iniesta(2009-2012) was a superb dribbler.He is old now and has declined.

dmcdad:
It seems you forget things so quickly! Was the argument about better dribblers or step-overs? Besides, that is not an excuse.

Ibrahimovic dribbles like hell. Bar this point in his career where he doesn't care much.
Ronaldo de Lima was a king albeit his large frame.
Ronaldinho...
Pastore is a very good dribbler too.

I can go on and on. Frame is not an excuse for dribbling or not dribbling. Although, I must admit smaller frames help more, but that is not entirely the case.

Ibrahimovic was just as good as a dribbler as CR7 when both were young.But people will criticise CR7 for being a poor dribbler forgetting he has clocked 30.I don't think Pastore is among the top 10 dribblers in europe, is he? Ronaldinho and de lima were one of a kind.

dmcdad:
Krasid! Krasid!! Krasid!!! So, if he had said Neymar scored 50 goals last season, would you have taken it hook, line and sinker?

There is a very huge gap between 50 and 15, but very little between 13 and 15.I knew neymar didn't score up to 20 last season but between 10-19 and would have questioned anything above that.

dmcdad:
Truly making yourself seem really dull. Sorry to say. Let me ask you a simple question... When Denilson was playing (especially in Europe), did you have access to Computers? Just answer this...

Why do Barka fans find it hard to decipher something so simple.Where in my post did i mention anything related to computers and denilson.I said people used to rave about Denilson's step over then, and that if you try googling "king of step overs" right now C.ronaldo will appear.What is so hard to understand about this?
