Loyal Cules dnt u think masch's foul was very crucial because if gameiro had scored that one on one,they would av played the "park the bus" strategy of which it can lead to barca not seeing a single goal because sevilla is also good at defending.
Big thanks to masch 4 dat crucial foul oo! Although he played just 37 minutes but he contributed vitally to our win.

Masch made a great sacrifice IMO and fully deserves the accolades. That's what an inexperienced Batra should have done to Bale against Madrid knowing fully well we had a 'basket Pinto' between the post
He made a timely foul before getting to the box to ensure we didn't concede a goal which could be so detrimental.
Kudos must be given to our players to have been able to survive the onslaught thereafter. That was the best defensive play I have seen us put up over the years. They worked hard to ensure Masch's sacrifice eventually paid off.
Kudos to Pique, Busi and Stegen for the great show!

with mourinho around? Klopp and conte around?
If he wins 2 league titles I ucl cup and 1 fa cup in three years , he is a genius

Hello bros!
As una don appoint Mou now, assuming he wins the league next season, who gets the credit?

We Atletico Fans can't wait any longer, bring on the game!

competition is when two clubs outside top four breaks in, which cannot happen in Spain, competition is when you are not sure to win any team until the final whistle. Leicester and Tottenham tried. but in Spain no matter how hard Villarreal, Valencia, certain vigo, bilbao tries they can't win the league. the top three is certain

While there are top four in EPL (where Man U, Chelsea, City and Arsenal have dominated well save this past season), there's nothing like top 4 in spain.
Madrid and Barça are always guaranteed to win not because it's just easy but because they are far ahead of every other team not only in the league but even in Europe.
As regards not knowing who's gonna win Until final whistle, I am sure if Barca are going to play Arsenal, we can always predict the winner, if Madrid will be playing Tottenham, we can always predict the winner, given Atletico vs Chelsea, we can to an extent predict the winner, what of Barca vs Leicester? Seviila vs West Brom? We can always predict sir.
This shows that given the level of Madrid/Barca, one can always predict they'll win their opponents (even though that's not so true in La liga) as against what's obtainable in EPL where there are no much talents but over hyped players who sometimes get even matched by their opponents.
Barcelona/Madrid/Atletico would also dominate the EPL, can same be said of Leicester, Tottenham and Arsenal? In La Liga?

Mcleo007:
Anti barca fans after the game...

Oh boy! Just dey see this ni oooo.

The dudes on bike are Chelsea fans, while the ones standing are Arsenal fans. They couldn't laugh and mock them because they knew they were also anti-Barca but couldn't also help them up because they also hate them

ebig21:
I gat your point now, it's true premier league is in a great decline, but still it's more competitive than la Liga

I still don't get what competition means!


Barca won the league in the last match day this season with just ONE point ahead of Madrid.

Can you tell me how many points are between Leicester and the second club on the log?

SUPERPACK:
no one is trying to take it frm spanish league its their turn, they are currently the best, bt calling the EPL a rubbish league because of their poor performance in europe is so wrong every league ones experienced retrogression, bt that does nt mean its the end, it just a change of Era. EPl will be back.

Bro, you can only speak for yourself, and it can be deduced from your post that you are a sound football fan with unbiased analysis.
We only try to remind guys who always claim La Liga is nothing (claiming EPL is till the best despite their recent decline) how poor they have been in recent time in Europe since that's the only common ground where the heavyweights from different leagues are pitted against one another.

I hope EPL teams are back to their best!

dmcdad:
My side sef no be even Chelsea fans, but Assnal fans. Werin concern us concern them?

TRendlona:
And the funniest thing is that the guys that must have been rejoicing due to masch's red card arent our normal local rivals fans like madrid and atm. Most of them are chelsea, Arsenal and man u fans who aren't interested in sevilla's success but instead barca's downfall

Not most bro, all are EPL fans.

ebig21:
This your list is biased, Ronaldo,suarez, bale are the best player in epl. They went Dia and became the best player there. So don't talk this bullshit.

You didn't get the gist bro!
Ronaldo, Suarez bale and co are the EPL best players that still needed to ply their trade in Spain to reach their full potentials. Same can't be said of the other. But, good/normal/average/reject players from Spain go to EPL to become best.

SUPERPACK:
remember spain dominated europe in the 50s and Epl did much better in the 70s, football does nt favour everyone all the time, today is spanish league turn tomorrow it might be Epl and the cycle continues.
.
until another club apart frm realmadrid and barca lift the Uefa champions league frm la-liga. Epl still stand as the most competitive league in europe.

The emboldened says it all bro!
When EPL was dominating, we gave it to them, now that it's the turn of La liga, it should also be given to them instead of always finding one flimsy excuse to down play their achievements.
For your info bro, EPL is even rated below the German Bundesliga in UEFA ranking.

dmcdad:
Na true ooooo. Enemies wan kill person for viewing centre. But God pass them. Them hold their heads go house last last.

You needed to see jubilation when Masch was sent off, you go think say Chelsea win UCL.

SUPERPACK:
and why did the so- call spanish giant make it a point of duty to buy Epl stars e.g Ronaldo, bale, Suarez, Modric.

It's the dream of every good player to play for either Madrid or Barca. Those EPL stars know that Spain is where their dreams could be realised. Or how do we explain the great Henry dumping Arsenal for Barca just to win the champions league which he failed to win with Arsenal?
How do we explain Suarez coming to Barca only to win trophies he has ever been dreaming of?

Rexnegro:
bar man give This guy two crate of origin, a plate of pepper soup and two clean beautiful girls for This his sensible comment he just made so... bro don't thank me, ok? thank God for making me a generous person. More so that's how I roll.... bro no mind Them in epl, their football There na kick And follow...its obviously clear that la Liga is the best league in The world for Years running now, and The so called hyped epl is nowhere to find when its matter most... ask Them that before liechester won The lig This season how many teams has won it epl since year 2000 that they re saying is highly competitive? just three teams o, aside that sef the so called two horse in la Liga if they should come to epl they go be 1st and 2nd.... epl? nah that's rugby lig Not football lig.

And you wonder why the teams that compete with the so called two horses keep dominating in Europe where it matters most.
Epl is full of maga clubs where average/mediocre players rush to to earn their cool cash.

bykebyke:
No forget Bossquets and Stegen abeg.

Airmark I'm sure you must have been waiting for him to make a mistake.

Stegen na bad boy and Busi did what Busi does.

dmcdad:
You keep wondering why some peeps never see any good in Busi.

You go wonder till eternity bro, people wey never see anything good in Barca ehn?

dmcdad:
Honourable mentions: Busi and Ter Stegen.

Stegen was so so so so great and Busi did what Busi does.

Fynestboi:
Na my mind you talk baba.



Haters will continue to hate

I dey tell you.

sirguy542:
Tell him my brother.. English league is just a joke. They only parade average players. How many players from epl have won world player of the year. English league sucks thats why Ronaldo Delima and Ronaldinho rejected them.

How will their players win the world player of the year? The only player that won it there dumped the league for Spain. The good ones in their league always find a way of coming to spain ( e.g Henry, Suarez, BaleN CR7 etc) while la liga rejects (e.g Alexis, Ozil, Yaya etc)and normal players (Silva, Aguero, Costa etc) always go to England to dominate and earn their big money.

omonla10:
lemme try qualify both leagues with one word each.

Laliga==exhibition
Premiership ==competition

The question is, do u prefer watching exhibition when u most likely know d winner or watching an unpredictable League where resources are almost balanced.. Well I'll say different people with different choices..

Leicester won the epl after losing only 3 matches while Barcelona won La liga after losing 5 matches. So what's the competition all about?
Man U, City, Chelsea and Arsenal have always been the best of the league, but we all know how they perform when they get to Europe where they meet their counterparts from other leagues. Why has the so called competition not given the epl teams an edge over the Spanish leagues that only play for exhibition in Europe where they all meet to showcase their prowess? Sevilla have won the Europa league three times in a row, what happens to the epl teams? Why has exhibition so much helped the Spanish teams and competition couldn't help the epl teams?

TheSonOfMark:
[color=royalblue]
Not to mention the EPL supposed top teams scavenge for creative midfielders and strikers from the La Liga.


Little wonder why a Barça-reject like Fabregas became the focal point of Chelsea's attack.


[/color]

Imagine!
Alexis and Ozil left Spain to become kings at Arsenal, Yaya, Silva and Aguero left Spain to dominate EPL.

Awesome01:
Funny thing is that we are still meeting this Sevilla rugby players in the Spanish Super Cup again.

Tw Sevilla: "Congratulations to @FCBarcelona on their 28th Copa del Rey. See you at the Supercopa de España #vamosmisevilla"

Pique(defence), Iniesta(midfield) and Massi(attack) combined together to win us the match.
My MOTM goes to Pique.

when we win, we celebrate, when we lose, the world celebrates #copied

Congratz to us all......

Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! We have done it again, kudos to the best team in the world.

Arsenate:
but you guys don't get it, do you?
We don't care about a very predictable, utterly boring league that is la liga. How can two teams in a league monopolize almost all the monies going into the league? Makes no sense.
To put things in perspective, 6 English teams are among the top 10 richest football clubs in the world. Tottenham Hotspur is much richer than Athletico Madrid. This simply implies that talents in England are much evenly spread amongst the entire teams making it very unpredictable and highly entertaining. (Yes EPL is so much more entertaining that's why it has far more viewers; That's why it has more money and that's why most people would prefer to watch Leicester vs Spurs than Valencia vs Sevilla. Deal with it)
Yes there are more word class players in Spain, but it makes the league an utter joke if all the talents are concentrated in just two teams. The remaining 18 teams have no chance. Once in a while one of them try to threaten the duopoly, but it is always short lived.
We love EPL more because it is unpredictable. No one is interested in predictable processions that are la liga, ligue 1, Bundesliga and even serie A.
Let us be

But why have the EPL teams been failing to show up at the biggest stages where it matters most? If the so called Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico could be dominating the UCL where the big boys are weighted against one another, then it will be easy for them to dominate the EPL. Those below the big three in Spain have always out-performed their equivalents in the Europa (where Epl teams are well represented). It's safe to say EPL is just a product of hype and publicity with so much average players aided by the media hype. The playing style is nothing but physicality and power as against skills and techniques that are obtainable in Spain.

legendte:
I have said it many times, Spain is the home of football in Europe. That is where the best game is played. English league can only boast of cash and publicity and nothing more. Very boring game. Kick and follow football. No wonder almost all the best players the world has produced plied their trade in Spain. The dominance of Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain is wrongly portrayed as other teams being weak. The truth is that the same Barcelona and Madrid are dominating Europe
and are always the favourite to win UCL each year. Some would say that there is no competition there, sighting the emergence of Leicester City as an example. The truth is that there is no longer class in EPL. World class players are no longer there. The strength of the teams are almost equal. This fact is affecting their performance in Europe.
I am Cule, I support the best club in the world, I am for Team Barcelona. Mes que Un club. Força Barca! !!!!!!!!

Spot on bro!

Make una relax, we are still doing it.

Oh boy, see as guys queue up dey view ehn. We just have to win this match!

Congratulations Manchester United!
LVG can now joyfully see out his contract

darkenedrebel:
If peradventure Catalonia's vie for independence is finally looked upon, wouldn't that also imply that we(Barcelona FC) would no longer qualify to play in the LA LIGA?.

After all LA LIGA is a Spanish league and not a Catalan league.

Somehow I do not fancy this all too newfangled idea, because once this so-called vying for emancipation comes to fruition then we would no longer be at receiving end of the kudos that comes with playing in the LA LIGA.

Heck! That would also put an end to our age-long rivalry with Real Madrid.

cc: bykebyke, sebod, eyoniggar, dmcdad

I think their quest for independence would one day be granted, but I don't see Barcelona breaking away anytime soon from La Liga. Not minding the threat issued by Tebas, I am sure La Liga needs Barca even more than Barca need La Liga. El Clasico is the biggest match in the world with Madrid and Barça composing one half of La Liga duo poly atop the standings. They have both built the world's greatest rivalry in football which have earned them and the league mountains of cash in television rights, merchandising and ticket sales.
Should Barca be pushed out of the league, Madrid, La Liga and the national team would be dealt a great blow while Barca could easily join the french league (something I personally don't fancy) or better still push for the much debated European superleague to come to fruition.

eyoniggar:
lol, them don slaughter cable, nothing left for me to butcher further. Anyways Cules, how una dey? God bless you all, plus Barca for lyf.

Abeg make una nor forget our copa final, na to slaughter those goats collect our double clean mouth, he never end there, na to wait for UCL final, see them madead go trophyless. My 2016 is good already.

Sevilla can only try, them go chop am big time. Thank god them don win Europa already. They can't stop our double.

dmcdad:
As in ehn... That guy forget the rivalry wey dey between us. If Madrid no hate Barça, why them no fit allow Barça play cuo final for Bernabéu? Because them no go fit stand to see Barça lift a trophy for their own stadium. Like the one wey happen in the past, wey them go dey repeat out anthem for their stadium after we win. That one pain them die!

So leave cable make him dey deceive himself. I go hate you say I dey win trophies and you dey go trophy-less. Wetin I wan hate you again for? You don already hate on yourself by going trophy-less.

That abo.ki does not know that cable is the only Madrid fan on that thread, the other one is a confirmed CR7 fan. So who will he be discussing his hatred with? It's even Cules and some other club's fans that are keeping the thread alive.
