Wow. Real Madrid has hit rock bottom. I don't remember the last time they lost to 2nd division team. Probably many long years.

This was coming tho. If you remember the last round before this they had to beat a 3rd division team 3-2. Their defence must be replaced, too cocky with no reason to be cocky.

You didn't say the best part, 17th team in 2nd division so not even a team in good form and quite possible relegated to third division soon since they have just 1 point more than team that will be relegated.

Also there is already talks to get rid of new manager, seems Mbappe isn't happy and this start hasn't helped him at all.

It was diffuclt to see that Real can be eliminated by one of worst teams in Segunda, that Albacete will score 3 goals and that game won't go into extra time after Real made score 2:2 on 90+1 minute. But all these things happened.
Fun, but it's important notto f*ck up for us - I hope players didn't celebrated Supercopa trophy too heavy.

Mbappe isn't happy - this iswhere their problem. No matter how good player is or how big his name is, he can't be above manager. Well, nmaybe unless he is Messi or Ronaldo in their prime, but that's also not ok IMO. I already realized that things isn't ok in Real after Supercopa final when Alonso asked players to wait on pitch until Barca will be awarded, while Mbappe urged players to leave pitch.

A complete disaster week for them, Mbappe needs to cool down he cant be like this, seems always like he is playing only for himself and plus he put a lot of noise in the team inside the dressroom, is not the first time he is pointed out as a conflictive player, i know he scores like crazy but that cant be enough some times. I dont really know who wants to be coach of a team like this one.

It's actually quite rewarding to look at it from a fan's perspective.
Most of us want these 'super teams' with inflated egos to do badly and Real is really close to having a trophyless season.

Since 23/24 they are without a trophy - so Mbappe still hasn't won anything there.

That is what most of the people doesnt understand across all the life and topics, having all first guitars without anyone wantinng to be the second guitar is gonna be a disaster.
It happen in everysport, in NBA it happens more often, lots of time teams made super teams signing high profile players thinking they are gonna be a super team and they ended up being a total shit since everyone wants to be the main star.

Nobody played on Girona to win against Espanyol, so it is zero points for everyone, but odds on Girona win was amazing.
I think weather conditions could affect many games this week, and maybe we are going to see few more surprises.

It was just a Cup game, and they didnt fully recover after losing a match against Barcelona.
Levante is perfect team for them to defeat this weekend.

I had no idea this was Segunda relegation candidate lol.

But well, Real started the trend with Galacticos. So they must eat the cake that they baked. Mbappe is such a genius but his attitude makes me not like him maximum.

Shit, I didn't know Mbappe hasn't won anything, somehow I assumed he won but you're right. Wowww

And perfect team for upset too

Than why didnt you predict surprise in Superbru, instead of picking 2:1 win for Real Madrid? 
I like surprises and underdogs but this was easy home win, and now Barcelona needs to win against Real Sociedad if they want to keep the distance in first place.
What I didnt expect to see today is easy win for Betis against Villareal.

Obviously because its Superbru lol. You can't predict big upsets in this pool its suicide just ask our good pal @buwa

Betting is a different story, but yeah it would have lost anyway.

Also same feeling seeing Villareal result, which was also expensive for the red card!!

Barca lost their game in hand, Real made it past a shit team, and Villareal gave up tamely. All the results that I personally don't prefer, but perhaps should be the result we need for a season that continues to excite the neutral. This is the traditional pool on Superbru with my best position, but those losses dropped me another place. It's going to be a long, long grind.

[slaman29]

Shit, man. I thought I just keep quiet and ignore the loss but today somehow it hits very hard. Thats what happens when you talk about breaking records tho I guess, you lose your streak. TBF we were trying really hard, had 3 disallowed goals, and everyone was pushing to the max.

Now Champions League, lets gooooo!

That moment when Barca lost game, despite playing really good. So much bad luck with hitting crossbars, but shit happens sometimes. Sad that hardearned lead against Real is already wasted. But Anoeta always was difficult stadium for Barca, I think there was period when we haven't won there maybe 10 years in a row.
Back to Superbru pool, I think it would be betterfor me to resign from it and stop humiliating myself. It used to by my best pool, now it's worst, even in Ligue 1 I'm doing better.
