Real Madrid 4-0 Real Valladolid, Bale hat-trick!
And 4-0 FT.
Weird...almost as if media and the Real Madrid fans jumped the gun. He's a terrific signing. Hard to justify a £86m price tag but there's little doubt he's a world class player.
Ramsey CM, Bale (basically) upfront. Need a quality GK and CB and Wales might be decent at International football.
Athletic Club: Iraizoz, Iraola, Balenziaga, Rico Moreno, Gurpegi, Laporte, Susaeta, Iturraspe, Toquero, Herrera Aguera, Muniain.
Barcelona: Pinto, Montoya, Pique, Mascherano, Adriano, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, Alexis, Neymar.
This kicks off in ten minutes. :popcorn:
Toquero. :bow:
What a legend.
Great save from Iraizoz to deny Neymar.
Iniesta. :cloud9:
Muniain a couple of yards out, scuffs it to Pinto!
Neymar can't stay on his feet. :haha:
Rancid pass from Cesc.
Interesting that there has been so much backlash to the style Barcelona are playing with now under Tata - the directness. I'm blaming Cesc for this tbf.
Toquero with a telling clearance. As you'd expect.
Very few of the Barca players can stay on their feet. Iniesta one of the few that can.
0-0 HT. :lol:
Neymar. :haha:
He had a stinker today.
Messi. :bow:
Come back, all is forgiven.
Athletic Club 1-0 Barcelona, MUNIAIN!!!
This happened a while ago but GW died.
Iniesta off, Pedro on.
Sanchez. :haha:
Jesus christ, that has to be the worst cross of all time.
Athletic Club 1-0 Barcelona, FT! :haha:
Barca stay top but Atleti are now with them on 40 points, Real Madrid on 37.
I think I speak for everyone when I say: Come on Atletico!

This is not a criticism but the last manager Benitez knew he would not be the manager for the next year and he was chasing results," Mourinho told the Evening Standard. "He was not worried about the building of a team with a certain style.
Hmm... and that's coming from him as well.

Real Madrid and Barcelona to face European Union investigation
Real Madrid and Barcelona are among seven Spanish clubs to be investigated over alleged illegal state aid.
The Spanish foreign ministry announced that the European Commission will also begin proceedings against Osasuna, Athletic Bilbao, Valencia and Elche.
Hercules, who play in the second tier, are also under investigation.
"The government will fight to defend Spanish clubs because they're also part of the Spanish brand," said foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia Margallo.
The proceedings could take months to conclude and will be officially announced on Wednesday added Margallo, who denied the clubs had broken EU rules.
He said Barcelona, Real Madrid, Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao are accused of contravening European Union rules because they are still owned by their members and had benefited from favourable tax treatment.
The Commission was also probing Real over their training facilities and Bilbao over aid they received for the construction of their new stadium, which opened this season, he added.
Valencia, Elche and Hercules were being investigated because of help the three clubs received from the regional government in the form of loans and bank guarantees.
