La Liga 2023-24

[Vasilevskiy]

@Evilo Any comments on Barca getting favorable reffing in stoppage time?

Was a penalty. Stupid one but if it was the other way around it would have been called a foul too.

Anyways very lucky to get three points yesterday. Barça were brutal on the last 1/4 of the pitch

The penalty call, by itself, fine. Soft, but fine. The retake and then the non-retake, those are the ones who made me roll my eyes.

that Ceballos substitution, omfg

Dani Alves got four and a half years, which is a short sentence tbh for sexual assault, but at least it shows justice in Spain works a bit better than in the UK..

Yeah, should have been a longer sentence

this is from 2020, but it's worse in Spain.

It's worse in the sense the penalties are low but at least they exist. How much prison did Bissouma, Mendy, Sigurdjonsson, Antony, Greenwood or Partey do in the UK? The only one who did time was Evans and it turned out he was falsely accused ...

 

[Evilo]

Spain is a front-runner in violence against women. They have gone from awful to top notch.
This is NOT a country the US, UK or France should look down to on that aspect.

A very controlled win for Barca over Getafe. I wouldn't say they were perfect, or spectacular, but Getafe had no chance today, they provided no threat at all, it was total domination for Barca.

I didn't even notice that Greenwood played.

Haven't watched much of Ilaix Moriba lately, but it seems that he has somehow even regressed from his younger days in Barcelona. I guess he is happier with his money, but seems like his career is going nowhere. Obviously who knows what would have happened had he stayed with Barca, but there certainly was potential for more than what he has now become.

Luka freaking Modric. What a man.

 

[gary69]

Luka freaking Modric. What a man.

That made him the second oldest goal scorer for Real in history, only Puskas scored when a bit older.

 

[Power Man]

Luka freaking Modric. What a man.

I’m gonna miss him :-(

Aguirre's Mallorca continue their great run in the Copa del Rey and are now leading away at Real Sociedad, after surviving a penalty against them in the first half. They're about 40 minutes away from the final.

Oyarzabal is back with a bang, makes it 1-1 after a great pass by Brais Mendez, who missed the penalty in the first half.

Mallorca wins after the penalty shootout, scoring on every shot! Oyarzabal missed the first penalty for Real, so the islanders are in the final!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Piece of trash racists open the score

 

[gary69]

Failed shot by Valencia turned into a goal by Hugo Duro header, putting them ahead against Real Madrid at 27 mins.

Edit: It's now 2-0 already, Yaremchuk capitalizes after Carvajal's mistake.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

What a f***ing disgrace of turnover.

One of your stars gets racially abused by a trash fanbase and you play like that? Absolutely pathetic.

That shot of Lucas and Modric laughing on the bench immediately after Vini was getting booed is a good clue they might be done with his act in the locker room too.

You have no clue what they were laughing about...

Absolutely true, but you have to admit for the optics the timing was not the best.

Oh, I thought the same when I saw it and it was clearly a deliberate choice by the director.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Vini!!!!! Let's go!

Do not f***ing go after the crowd though

 

[gary69]

Vini scores and then goes on to provoke the crowd. That might be justified, but it's still unnecessary to heat up things.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

The ref has been absolute trash. Letting too much things go and whistling the half when Valencia is in a clear attacking phase

In his defense it looked like Real might have gotten control of that ball for a second there. But Rodrigo and Vini deserved bookings for late tackles.
