New problems on the planet Barcelona  

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has criticised interim president Carlos Tusquets after he said the club should have sold Lionel Messi in the summer.

I think Koeman has just created additional problems for himself with this interview and if he doesn’t fix the results soon he will be a former coach.
Barcelona have problems in all areas, from management, finances to players and this season will be very difficult for them.

President candidate Joan Laporta says otherwise though. He says Messi wants Barcelona. He's a true winner and he can't stand other teams win Champions League.

If Laporta will be elected in January he will extend Messi's contract and build a better Barcelona for all competitive areas they are playing.

Looks like this is a form of support for Koeman to his players in the team and I think that's good. I do not want Messi to be expelled or sold from Barcelona at the personal wishes of the club president, in this case I think the interim president does not have the right to comment too far about a player who has served the club for a long time and made many achievements. This is too stupid in my opinion, and at the moment Koeman looks better at defending his men. Messi is still the best, let him decide his own future as a form of gratitude for his contribution so far.

Full time
Sevilla 0-1 Real Madrid
Atlast after 3 matches Real Madrid managed to get a win on La Liga. The goal was a own goal from Sevilla goalkeeper. Rela Madrid is now 3rd in the table, away from 4 points. Though ATM played 2matches less than RM but staying on the 2nd position with 1 point lead of RM.

[risatrakib]

At last somehow Real Madrid win against Sevilla. Not very good performance by them but an own goal from Sevilla player Bounou gives advantage to Real. Hopefully, this win brings some confidence to Real Madrid.

[Chrystora123]

Real is betting on the Champions League game. This is their first and main task. So the team will not try very hard with Sevilla. Moreover, the main players are still not ready. The maximum you can count on is a draw or Sevilla will win this match.

ok, we wrong to guess friends Initially, I was not sure Madrid could win at Sevilla home seeing from Madrid's poor performance at UCL, I betray Madrid (I was a Madrid supporter from the start) by betting on Sevilla's victory but losing, I regret.. "LOL"

Atletico Madrid controls the "ball possession".  If they win in this match, they will shift Sociedad and become #1 in the Spanish league standings..

[ingiltere]

The goal was a own goal from Sevilla goalkeeper.

Actually it was Vini Jr.'s goal, I don't know why every media outlet write it as own goal. It's clear Vini touched the ball and confused goalkeeper. You can see from other angles, that should've been written to Vini. Goalkeeper misjudged the position and that cost them a loss.

Benzema's pass to Mendy and his cross brought Real Madrid a victory. Now all eyes on Barcelona. They have to win this game no matter what it takes.

[AakZaki]

Real Madrid does not buy players in winter. Moreover, at the moment they do not have money to buy. There is a chance that there will be fewer tram players, but this is unreliable.
~snip~

If they don't buy new players in the winter market, it will be difficult for them to win. They need, defensive midfielders, strikers, right-backs and wingers. In that position they do not have a suitable coating, just look at the many injured players in this position and madrid seem to lose their dominance in the match. I hope they can shop for new players.

Full time
Sevilla 0-1 Real Madrid
~snip~

Even though Madrid won thanks to an own goal, I'm happy Madrid won. In the first half I saw Madrid dominate the game, they had three kicks on goal but no goals were scored. Sevila also did well in the second half as they attacked more aggressively but they were out of luck.

[bounceback]

After experiencing three successive defeats in La Liga, Madrid finally managed to get three points after beating Sevilla 0-1 through an own goal by Sevilla player Yassine Bounou. A pretty good result for Zidane when the pressure was very strong with unsatisfactory results obtained by Madrid in several matches including losing to the Champions League. Madrid was able to move up to 3rd place in the standings with 20 points. At least with these full points it can restore the confidence of the Madrid players to prepare for the next match.

At least some positive news for Real Madrid, a win against Sevilla could make the players more confident in their next game against M'Gladbach.
ATM to the 1st spot as expected.
Cadiz - Barcelona still 0-0, if Barca won this, they will take the 5th spot this round!

Edit: Cadiz scored 1-0 after 8 minutes lol

ATM is doing so greatly and no doubt, should they continue in this manner, they just might end up claiming the laliga title for themselves with Barcelona clearly out of the way, the only threat that remains is Real Madrid which has been doing very poorly to me. Yes, they might have won a 3 point today but on the general note of performance, I still consider them to be doing poorly.
A team like Real Madrid playing under 1.5 against Sevilla whom Chelsea or should I say Oliver Giroud trashed 4-0 in the last Uefa Champions League. How weak would the team be before Real Madrid would realize how formidable they are and up there chances with goals. It's disappointing still.

Cadiz 1 - 0 Barcelona

I wonder how long it had taken them to fire Koeman? because if barcelona loses in today's match they will be showing that they will not be able to compose themselves and fight to win the championship unless they change coaches and hire some players to score goals


I am very happy that Real Madrid won. it shows that real madrid can win la liga even if they don't play very well

3 successive defeats? I guess I am watching different league 

The last three matches I remember in La Liga before today are;
- Valencia 4:1 Real Madrid Loss
- Villarreal 1:1 Real Madrid Draw
- Real Madrid 1:2 Deportivo Alaves Loss

I personally consider a draw as a "defeat" for big teams and the opposite draw = win for weaker teams. Well a draw vs Villareal isn't bad so yeah I agree it isn't a defeat
Cadiz 1-1 Barca thanks to an own goal..

[logfiles]

Cadiz 1-1 Barca thanks to an own goal..

2-1 now in favour of Cadiz. Another huge error from Marc-André Ter Stegen and Cadiz's Negredo says thank you very much  

[boltz]

How many games must Barcelona lose in order for their CEO to fire Koehman ? This guy clearly has no idea how to train Barcelona and Messi should be replaced with younger talents after 70 minutes of playing as he is not the Messi we are used to see. No wonder that Barca plays better when Messi is not on the field...

[Slow death]

Cádiz 2 - 1 Barcelona



what the fuck was that? i'm not a fan of barcelona. ( i'm a fan of real madrid), but i bet barcelona would win this game and i made multbet that would give me a big profit, but barcelona lost in a game that i was very confident barcelona would win this game. messi do not score at least one goal, Griezmann ( no comment ) because if i had to comment on him, i would have to use every dictionary of negative words... why the hell barcelona didn’t hire better players who score goals? I believe they had better players compared to Griezmann and Coutinho. Barcelona's big problem today is in the players who do not score goals.

[LTU_btc]

Oh, shit, here we go again. After few solid games and now we are back to reality again. Fact that we managed to score goal today only with big help of Cadiz when their player touched ball says a lot about current Barca.

2-1 now in favour of Cadiz. Another huge error from Marc-André Ter Stegen and Cadiz's Negredo says thank you very much  

It wasn't his mistake. Lenglet should be blamed for it - he failed to stop ball after Alba throw-in.

I'm not fan of Koeman, but I highly doiubt that changin manager would help. He isn't main problem.

You should probably avoid betting for Barca wins all together. Today's Messi is not the Messi we used to know;
- the Messi who would step up, dribble past 4 chaps and score a winning goal,
- the Messi who would win a free kick and curl it past any goalkeeper in La Liga,
- the Messi who would score hat tricks like it was nothing.

And then comes Griezmann, Coutinho and the lot. I even have no words for them. Ansu Fati was the only fighter among them until he got injured.

[nelson4lov]

I'm not that surprised to see Barcelona lose against cadiz. This season, they're known for either losing and level when you expect them to win but they tend to win when you least expect them to. If they keep up with performances like this, they might not go close to the top 4.

I'm not fan of Koeman, but I highly doiubt that changin manager would help. He isn't main problem.

Yeah. It's the same thing I thought when Ernesto Valverde was still coach. It's a team problem and not really about changing coaches. Koeman should be able to understand this and bring in more creative ideas/psychology/tactics otherwise, we'll keep seeing embarrassing performances like today's. I'm just glad I didn't put Barcelona on anything of bet slips today otherwise it would've a burst.

[tomahawk9]

Mr Chip is on fire on his twitter with fun facts after Barca shit the bed AGAIN, this one is pretty devastating for the fans:

- Barcelona are 12 pts behind the league leaders...no team has been able to win the league after such a massive gap, ever (source)

and this one doesn't need translation tho https://twitter.com/2010MisterChip/status/1335342241703931908
Koeman should bench Messi for a few matches, it's not like it would make that big a difference to the overall performance of the team anyways
