[Football] La liga

[Simster]

Incredible end to the season after Atletico threatened to stroll it. They have stuttered as the big two gradually closed and tonight was the night Barca were supposed to win at home to Granada to assume first position. Messi put them in front but incredibly Granada have turned it around and now lead.

Not only would that leave three points separating four clubs (Sevilla have quietly crept up into contention) but in two weeks time these four clubs play each other in two matches on the same day!

 

[Swansman]

Yup. Ligue 1 and La Liga are very exciting this season. Currently cant be bothered to watch any Brighton-less PL games.

Sevilla are 3 points off the lead after all have played 33 games. Real Madrid vs Sevilla to come, could be an incredible end to the season but as they use head to head record rather than goal difference, Sevilla need to be a point ahead of the rest to win it.

 

[Simster]

No mistake from either Madrid side today. Barca away to Valencia tomorrow, Seville play Bilbao on Monday. Both need to win to stay in touch.

And then ....... the shocker, Real Madrid lift the trophy in May.

With Bayern and PSG, money talks when the prizes are handed out.

It is a proper title race.

Would LOVE Sevilla to pull it off but with Barca’s remaining fixtures including at home to Atletico, I do think they will win it.

Great title race in France too. Lille are quality and I think they’ll pip PSG which will be an incredible achievement.

Sevilla lost 1-0 to Athletic Bilbao tonight. It was fun while it lasted, but realistically - they need to beat Real Madrid and hope Barca and Atleti draw to let them back in.

I feel like it's advantage Real, despite themselves. It's probably the weakest Real Madrid team in 15 years but they could win both the Champions League and La Liga this season. Almost by default.

The ESL as well, seeing as they’re the only team left in it.

Really hope that RM cock it up at the end and AM snatch it and Cithe win the CL. Only because of the ESL b0llocks, otherwise I would have been non partizan.

Should want PSG to win the champions League as they were not in the ESL and citeh were.

It is Real's to lose. If they win their last 4, they win it, regardless of any other results.

If Atletico win their four, how do Real overhaul them?

Yes but I don't think they will do that, their remaining fixtures are definitely harder than Barca's. Plus, if they beat Chelsea tomorrow they will have that added distraction Barca won't have.

Am I missing something here? AM are two points clear and they both have 4 games to play.

Have you seen AM play lately? They've choked the league massively, should have had it wrapped up by now but they've been poor for quite a while. Just can't see them beating Barca at Camp Nou this weekend and then they are playing catch up which I can't see them doing.

Atletico Madrid;

Real Madrid;

Sevilla (Home)
Granada (Away)
Athletic Bilbao (Away)
Villarreal (Home)

Barcelona;

Atletico Madrid (Home)
Levante (Away)
Celta Vigo (Home)
Eibar (Away)

Looks like an Atletico title to me, essentially able to knock Barcelona out of the title race. Real have the toughest run in for sure.

But HKFC stated it was Real's to lose regardless of other results which is clearly not the case.

It should be Atletico's already but I don't think they're good enough to beat Barca. They've been so poor recently and Barca, Messi in particular, have been very good. Just can't see AM getting a result there.

Fascinating situation in La Liga now with VAR checking a penalty for both teams.

That’s another VAR shocker!
