What happened between Osasuna and Barca ? because they way Barca performed this night was really awful and hard to watch being a fan. I also think that Osasuna had a great tactical plan to play against Barca but scoring 4 goals against them is more than impressive and well deserved 3 points for them. With this defeat Barca now gave a chance to Real Madrid make 20 points tomorrow if they win against Ath.Madrid and that will put them just 1 point behind Barcelona  .

Also worth mention that Hansi Flick made a big mistake by letting Yamal on the bench and tried to play a different squad for tonight's game.

No keeper. That's what happened. Not so much he's a shit keeper, just the whole team I think didn't recover well from losing our main guy. It will be better after this. We are getting a replacement.

This was the thing I mentioned we were worried about. Flick will be wondering why he said Inaki could start all year lol

I'm so gonna regret counting on Atletico

I wouldn't blame Pena for loss, that's not his fault. Flick decided to give some rest for key players Rapinha and Yamal. That's understandable, but when you have just some kids on bench who aren't capable to replace them, nothing surprising that quality of game drops. For me it's only strange that Flick made such changes in game against Osasuna away, it's not easiest opponent.
About Inaki, it's not that he will be main goalkeeper for rest part of season. If all will be OK, Wojciech Szczęsny will return from retirement, I hope that he will be already available after international break.

Of course it's not his fault, its just that Ter Stegen's absence was a mental blow, and I think Flick needed to rotate anyway, to protect everyone, I think he gambled and knew they might drop points. Just I wish it wasn't Osasuna!! Should have just taken the loss and not even risked Yamal to get the last goal.

Barca's financial problems are gonna eat at us for 1 more decade minimum. Every season is a new challenge, I just hope the fans remember the part they played.

Szczęsny, I don't know. Great guy and Lewandowski will probably succeed taking him in, although I feel we should pursue Navas more for the cover. Retired guys are not fit... but we need to figure out next season now.

Notice: I have consolidated all the inputs on escrow addy so that should make it a bit cheaper in the end when I pay out the rewards.

I don't want to brag too much, but now I'm 4th in Global La Liga leaderboard. Yes, it's only matter of time until I will drop down, I'm realistic, but I will leave it for the history. You know, its similar when small club is leading league and they're taking photos of table.

Stop the count!

[slaman29]

Betshitters Valencia, why? Because last night.

Leganes no win in 5 games and still top half. Valencia won their first match before it and I thought maybe something changes. Fooled again lol.

We will call you Girona for this season (but thinking of last season Girona). I hope you last as long as them at least, good luck, we should be proud BTT guys are doing so well. Every pool we have someone crazy in global charts.

Good things are happening with me I think on Superbru. It's been a long day I have not seen me on the chart LOL

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Well, Gazzaniga saving 2/3 penaltys in the Girona Bilbao game is just incredible, poor guys who b ets on the Bilba win, i put them to win i think on my picks, but not money involved at all.

And what a win for Girona to finally winning the game by a penalty kick 

[buwaytress]

And I am duly punished for thinking Villareal and Athletic would take a point off their opponents even playing away. An amazing haul of zero points from the last 2 games, cementing me right near the bottom, 32 points off the top. Of course it makes sense I play so badly in a pool I'm more familiar with, while am top in Championship pool, where I should, arguably, know less.

Superbru roulette. It's beautifully frustrating.

Superbru roulette, I like it lol
To be honest I do not have much idea about LaLiga teams, only know some teams with their names and that's all. In PL I have better idea about everything and follow the league but I suck there on your Superbru roulette 😜

I need a goal from Real Sociedad and finish the match at 1 - 1 LOL

I got really devastated with that last minute penalty. Because my prediction was a 1-1 draw and it was going to help me collect 3 more valuable points. The match was a really interesting one at the same time. Gazzaniga saved all those penalties but have you noticed the poor quality of all of them? It was really awkward. Anyway after this round I'm entering the national break with 92 points by dropping one place down to the 12th position.

New sponsor for La Liga, next 3 seasons we gonna be watching Riyadh LaLiga   I guess it was only matter of time before oil money took over the entire name of the liga, And I thought LaLiga EA Sports was bad LOL Miss Santander badly

And if that's not bad enough now Atletico will play at Saudi Air Metropolitano.

Oil money here we go!!!

What a bad thing i see in this kind of agreement, its not free money like it can appear.

But well, moneys talks, and speak louder than much other things.

No, we will continue to watch La Liga EA Sports. Riyadh didn't bought naming rights, they will be just one of many sponsors. Anyway, selling naming rights isn't something new, previously we had LA Liga BBVA or La Liga Santander.
Atletico stadium few years ago was called Wanda Metropolitano, now Saudi Air is just different sponsor.
Selling naming rights is thing where you can get huge money, nothing surprising that leagues and clubs can't resist from signing such deals. In their place I would do same.

Of course, but it is somehow sounds so much better when sponsor is local, La Liga Santader sounds natural while Riyadh La Liga sounds blah  At least to me. Maybe that is because I was used to the old one.

Yes this is my point exactly. I never complained about sponsor, we need it. And when Barca put Unicef on their shirt which was not Spanish, I think the whole club felt proud of that.

The German fans feel the most strong about this I believe, Which is why they protest so strongly. I remember someone threw a bull head on the pitch when RB Leipzig came to their stadium. Thats a completely different story oc but its kinda the same spirit.

Anyway, we continue

[slaman29]

First game of international break and already lose points from a small upset, we see Valladolid had different ideas from most of us sorry ALL of us lol

See the magic of international break, teams can change everything and make you look stupid.

Hope this jinx doesn't happen to Barca, but for Real, please
