Barcelona won today against the valencia in copa de rey and is very close to the final.
Also this time determining Messi and Suarez.

Even though Barcelona won the game I think Valencia did very well since there were able to limit Barcelona to five shot on target during the whole game and the keeper did well as well and knowing that Real Madrid beat Valencia by  five goals goes on to show how football is really unpredictable.

Well, Barca got enough momements to score more goals, especially in 2nd half, but Valencia goalkeeper made a good job tonight. And after bad start of the season, L. Suarez finally in great shape, he scored many goals in recent matches.
Looks that it will be very interesting to watch second leg games of both semifinals!

I know what you mean.
I was watching their earlier games at the beginning of the season and said to myself what they have become with not scoring goals when Neymar left their squad. And now they are in terrific form. And getting farther ahead of Real Madrid every game that they play.
I do think it took sometime to get use to not having that striker in their line up and they finally have fully adjusted to moving forward with their new replacement in the sold off superstar place.

I feel it was a good thing for Barcelona to loose neymar, his transfer was such a big distraction and without him they're playing even better football. Valencia has been really good for a opponent like Barca. If Barcelona wins champions league I think neymar would be crying somewhere, who would in his right frame of mind in his prime join such a league.

I agree, Barcelona don't need Neymar to win Titles.It was a great team in the past and same at this present.Barcelona already ahead in La liga and they will win Copa del ray for sure.Another good news is, Cautinho has been transferred to Barcelona.So I didn't feel that Barcelona needs neymar anymore.

OTOH,Neymar is doing well in PSG.They will win Ligue1for sure.We have to see how they play with R madrid and survive or not.Next match in UCL is very important for neymar.

Barcelona is a team with a myriad of talented players.
after neymar, even more young talents appear to replace neymar.
because with the move neymar they can play more freely without any dependence.
but the good news is, neymar is a typical great player who can quickly adjust to the new team.
he is now an important figure in PSG.

Neymar departure is not a factor Barcelona became very tough in this season. precisely with this indicates that at the time Neymar was in the Barcelona squad that the gap between players that make the team's performance declined. Barcelona should be grateful that Neymar decided to leave because with the departure of the gap that is among the Barcelona forward players has ended. I can understand that especially competition in the front line of Barcelona is very tight and Neymar as a high-skill player want to show that he too can be a reliable as Messi is always the key to the Barcelona game so far.

But how successful has he been on Paris Saint Germain?
I watched the first few games he played when he made his debt on the team's starting line and he was doing quite well there and looked like he fit right in with his new squad.

But is he doing just as well as Barcelona is doing with alot of goals and more wins then the rest of the teams on their table?

As fan of Barca, I always had mixed feelings about Neymar. I wasn't happy when he joined Barca. Yeah, he is great player and it was amazing to watch MSN trio, but I don't like him as personality - he is diving too much and all stuff outside the pitch makes him as Bieber of football. In Barca he always been in shadow of Messi. Without Neymar Barca changed their game style and they aren't really missing him. It would be really interesting to see Barca facing with PSG in UCL playoffs this season.
P.S. I wouldn't be surprised if one day Neymar will move to Real Madrid, maybe when CR7 will retire

[DU18]

R madrids upcoming match is against Levante.I think it's a easy match to predict and win some bucks.I will bet for R madrid because I believe Madrid will win this easily.Last some match results are great for R madrid which also indicate their superiority form.I wish madrid will continue to do good performance in rest of matches because they need to improve their league position quickly.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Alaves vs Celta Vigo - Celta Vigo to take the 3 points, they are a team in form this season.
Levante vs Real Madrid - Should be a win for Real even though they are not the team of recent seasons.

I did not expect this harsh result on Sevilla. I watched many goals from the first minutes with complete control of Eibar. Luck is more for Sevilla because it is a powerful group and will identify itself

[tomahawk9]

Levante 1 - 1 Real Madrid. Another day, another 90' minute goal against Real Madrid. They played with probably the best starting XI the team can offer, yet they couldn't win against one of the worst teams in La Liga, a team that's currently fighting to avoid the relegation zone...pathetic.

And Real Madrid keeps getting closer to the Europa League spots in the league table, now Villareal is just 2 points away, though Real still has to play against Leganés, nevertheless, things are looking bad for Zizou's team.

yeah Pazzini killed Real Madrid's dreams for their third win in row after that last minute equalizer leaving Zinedine Zidane and his players in a sea of crisis. Real Madrid waisted a clear three points as they controlled the game and created chnces not a lot of them were that dangerous to kill the game.
the right side of Real Madrid was totally abscent Bale didn't give any help with the team and Carvajal failed to deliver good crosses and he was propably the reason of conceding the second goal also Cristiano Ronaldo didn't play any good he waisted a lot of chances and we always seen him throwing himself in the penalty area. at the end Widane made his job difficult even for Championsleague spot now they could waiste it if they contine playing with no concentration and their chances are getting smaller and smaller to get past PSG.

Didn't watched whole match, only last 20 minutes. And from what I saw, it looked like equal teams were playing, Real wasn't able to dominate against bottom table team. And after Levante equalized result, they had even more moments to score and win the game.
Real in Europa league. Only few weeks ago it was like a joke, but this scenario looks more real now. And now it looks like there are no easy opponents for Real Madrid in La Liga. It will be interesting to watch how they will play against PSG soon in Champions league.

I am also upset with the performance of R madrid this season.They can't even settled in 4th position of this season but they are the current la liga champions.They lost 4 points from Levante on this season.It's not expected by anybody at all because they just beat Valencia by 4-1.I think R madrid is really need of good striker.Next season,I hope madrid will make some big deal like Barcelona or PSG.But on this season,I think they will end it by trophy-less.

I totally agree with you, that they would end trophyless this season. Their performance this season has seriously blown hot and cold and it is shocking. Regularly, two teams usually dominate the La Liga, with a third team just trying to sneak around the corner. But now we have Barcelona just running away with the title, it looks like it was never a competition this season for Barca. I think Real Madrid have become overly complacent this season as a result of their (Zidane's) achievements in the previous two seasons. This is seriously affecting them. I wonder if he would be sacked if things go terrible this season, and by the looks of things, things will go terrible.

Didn't watch this match, but the report I'm reading says 2-2, no?

Sevilla got thrashed also, it's really a sad turn of events from their successful runs in Europa League (yes, I still whimper from the Liverpool final defeat, very fresh in memory). I really hope they somehow pip 4th place for a CL league spot... though am not sure I could consider that happening at the expense of Real Madrid. It's a huge sign of the times perhaps? Or just a blip as happened with Chelsea only two seasons ago. It can get really depressing actually to see teams like Deportivo fighting relegation, when we can remember all the entertainment they gave us just not so long ago.

In my opinion new coach wouldn't help much at this stage of the season. It is already lost and most of the players have run into some kind of mediocrity. Zidane has judged that he doesn't need big new signings in the last 2 years and they don't have a plan B. Plan B should have been their young players but they under performing with the rest of the team. It is unbelievable that Real didn't bring at least one big name during winter transfer window in order to push some new blood and some competition in the team. Especially at striker place as a competition mainly for Benzema.
