Guys, have you checked "La Liga standings" right now? In the first and second place, no big teams are there. I am a bit surprised by this result even if it is still matchday2 and some big teams still didn't play yet (Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla). But I never imagine before that Real Madrid, Valencia, and Villareal started this season with unsatisfying results. Now, Granada and Real Betis are leading the table! Amazing starts done by these two clubs.
Nothing to surprise here. Granada had firing start to the season last year as well. The team even beat FCB at home in the start of the previous season and was the table topper for few matchdays. But now comes the real challenge, an away game against Atletico Madrid. I am pretty sure Granada will lose some points in this one.
While, Real Betis has to face reigning Champions at home. Madrid will win this one ease and go. Third seated Villareal will face Barcelona at Camp Nou and expected to lose 3 points as well.
So after Matchday three, although top three will most probably remain same but all three are expected to lose this weekend.
Suarez had great teamwork with Messi, hence his high performance. But lately, the decline in Messi's game surprisingly coincided with the decline in Suarez. In Juventus he would have been able to revive his career. There are still lower speeds. And in Atletico Madrid, it is unlikely ...
Declining careers and still the highest and the third-highest goalscorers of Laliga last season!!
It was awful decision from Barca board to accept Atletico Madrid bid for Suarez. Barca has potentially given edge to its direct competitor. Suarez still has good couple of seasons left in him and being Barca fan, I would be lot happier to see him on Barca bench making some impactful substitution across the season rather than being the front man of Simeone's team.
