New challenge is up, be careful guys I turned it back to yellow cards. Can't stand those corners, just seems so random to me. I would like to reward football knowledge and not luck but cards are also a bit ref dependent here. Looking for that perfect 3rd question.

This time I had to go with Madrid derby to finish it off. If Real wins this one that is basically already a title for them well before Christmas.

thanks for a reminder here, I somehow missed last two competitions, probably due to having mid-week matches in it

yeah, if Real wins, it is close to being done, but we have to remember last season, when Atletico was in almost same situation, being 11 points up at one moment and struggling to get the title in the end
although, Real is not Atletico, and if they catch three points, it will be hard to get the down

that is probably the best way, and due to financials maybe only possible for Barca
nevertheless, I expect from Barca to rise into top4, but Sociedad and Betis will obviously be hard contenders this season, if we all agree that Real, Sevilla and Atletico are top three teams in the league at the moment

from the side, since I am not a fan, season will be more interesting this way

Yeah, I just feel like if we actually do go for Champions League, then we won't win it, but we'll focus a lot on trying to win it, and then the prize money from there, the evil club toppers will use it to buy even more players instead of servicing the loans or making sure the current players are paid well, not to mention our stadium.

I agree on Real and Atletico, Sevilla if we reach game 25 then yes.

Somehow I missed Atletico game and I realized that they lost to Mallorca only today when I was cheking Sunday's fixtures on Flashscore.
Real is slowly turning their lead into significant. They not only beat their direct competitors but also they get gifts from them when they fail to beat underdogs.
Another terrible round for me. Almost all 50/50 predictions in game without clear favorite went completely wrong for me.

I was just saying a week or two ago actually that Europa League would be not bad for us to play in, to train our youngsters and give us more time to develop.

there are some really tough teams in the europea league like West Ham, Leverkusen, Napoli, Real sociedad...

For sure! I am not saying it is a bad place to play in, I am admitting Barca now is not the quality of Real Madrid or the UCL teams. I see Manchester City, I see Liverpool, I even see Ajax and I feel we are not anywhere close yet. I'd rather see us gain confidence by winning against Napoli and Arsenal (hehe) and get somewhere without the pressure of winning unrealistic trophies with the squad we will have.

Then this gives the focus to grow the right team and mentality.

Atletico also lost in injury time, and Real now is facing some fierce resistance from Sociedad, plus Benzema had to be subbed for an injury. Going to be my last game, I've been stuck to screen for hours! I love this thick and fast action =D

I thought that is it for Real when Benzema got injured but they actually played solid and Jovic for once looks interested in game, already has an assist and goal. Sociedad does not look like they have it in them to turn this around. Will be a great day's work for Real if it stays like this. Loses from Barca and Atletico while getting 3 points, can't get much better than that from their point of view.

Same, honestly, and Jovic's header was everything you want him to be, brave and unflinching even if keeper's punch is coming in on one side and defender's foot coming from the other. Just one thought to score. One assist and a goal, he must be relishing more responsibility if Benzema stays sidelined.

Real the big winner indeed, especially after also beating Sevilla. Only this far into the campaign and already a huge lead opening up.

Maybe it's all still too early and all, but I'll give it to Real Madrid that it's their title to win for this season. Not even their starters they seemed to have the best bench squad to back them up, I expected a tougher game for Real Madrid but Jovic with what happened to be his best game since arrival in Madrid helped the team and might be the go to guy to feel Benzema's boot till he's back.

Real sociedad could not hold the Los blancos team down, two goals added before the whistle blow the game to a stop.
Jovic and Vinicius junior scored, the is a good result they be having since the return of Carlos Ancellotti.

Athletico Madrid doing poorly, what a loss!!!
Gaddamit, not even Griezman and Suarez on goal for the defending Champions of La liga.

not just that, you missed the topic as well Grin

, since this La Liga pool

who would expect Barca to go down by Betis, I mean they won two in a row, so I saw them back up, but it will be a harsh road, not lining up
Sevilla won, Granada won also yesterday

Whoops my bad. Maybe I am getting old and confused with so many pools (4 including UCL). I know for sure it's a struggle (not kidding) to keep up with the amount of sportsbetting I'm doing... if you guys are playing fantasy you'll know I'm totally neglecting it over there.

What the hell guys! Haha. I saw Milan end the game 2 goals and was pleased as I was 100% sure I put them as 3:0 winners in the pool but then I checked dashboard on Superbru and it says I put 0-3 Salertinata. I mean wow, haha, even back when I was putting in big upsets, I would never have in my life said this relegation-stamped team could put 3 goals past Maignan without letting anyone break their net.

Odds on Barca are around @1.5, that is big underestimation of Betis if you as me. My bet goes on Betis to score for sure if I get good odds on that and both to score, maybe even some x2.

what were the odds for Betis to score? i gotta start considering this line in every Barcelona match cos their defence is just horrendous

I was just saying a week or two ago actually that Europa League would be not bad for us to play in, to train our youngsters and give us more time to develop. The prize money isn't great but if we really cut all our wage bills, we should be able to manage. I mean even United was there last few seasons too so that's not too bad.

(I say this convincing myself lol)

After so many years in Champions League I can convince myself to see Barca playing in Europa league. Though, even if we will beat Bayern somehow, qualifying for next season Champions league won't be easy and as Trofo said, difference of prize money is big.
On the other hand, Barcelona is preparing Espai Barca project with reconstructed Camp Nou and New Palau Blaugrana and it will cost €1.5 billion. This project will bring profits in the future, but I'm not sure how club in such poor financial situation can afford to make such expensive projects.

It's definitely a problem of money now for us, so of course it makes sense to just try and qualify (and no doubt Xavi knows this is the minimum the club expects).

I just still think that maybe, we really need to be serious about rebuilding, continue to tie down the players we want and need for the future (and future is now 2 years more like 5 years). And if this means focusing on training and team structure, and sacrificing Champions League aspirations for that, I'm okay. I mean, really, Europe League and winning it is also good for them (as it qualifies them for UCL). And we ARE good enough to do that.

tough game for Barca against Real Betis, and next week they'll face Bayern...will Xavi rotate the squad? what's his top priority right now? staying in the race for top 4? or avoiding Europa league at all cost? 🤔

Big difference between United and Barca is that United has money and plays in Premier League which gives them even more money on TV rights and other sponsorships. Barca is in debt and they need that Champions League cash to start turning things around. Europa league is basically a death sentence in this situation. I am thinking CL spot is first priority for Barca this season. Bayern is secure on first position so maybe they will go easy on Barca? I doubt it, but we can hope.

I think that reaching top4 position is Barca priority at the moment, and they will probably catch it in the end, not because they are great, simply because competition is pretty lousy, and there is no fourth team that can keep up until the end of the season, Sociedad seems as one at the moment, but they will be pulled down with a no-win series at one moment

it is up to Barca, but they will somehow managed to reach at least position 4, and Betis is probably a priority compared to Bayern, since Bayern is much better at the moment, and Barca hardly can avoid defeat in Munich
