    Golazos

    Not a golazo, but it should be illegal what Mbappe did to this poor defender. View: https://twitter.com/herculezg/status/1783261512871895273?s=46&t=XvGOrrWIyL-5CHVVL_0JYQ

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Xavi and Barcelona makes sense for everyone involved. Xavi stays on at the club he loves. Barca don’t really have the money to pay someone new. Laporta keeps his blame buffer since Xavi isn’t his choice. Winners all around!

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    First Raul Garcia announced this is his last season at Athletic Club. Now Iker Muniain does the same. It makes perfect sense, of course. Muniain is a legend in Bilbao and I can see he going into youth coaching or something. More than anyone else, he really seemed to enjoy the Copa victory...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    They’re level on points for the last couple playoff spot with arch rivals Gijon but definitely should have gotten four points out of the last two games where they only got one point. They have a games against teams nowhere near the drop or promotion, which should help. Of course, the have to...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Well, no hay Liga. Even if Barca won yesterday's Clasico it would have been unlikely that they could have come back and won La Liga. Now the attention will probably go to the battles for European places with a gap developing between 18th place Cadiz and the rest at the bottom. I'm not sure what...

    Matchday 34- where it feels like the end of the season is coming

    Barcelona in the lead! They probably can feel rightly aggrieved by some unlucky calls earlier, namely the lack of goal line tech.

    Matchday 34- where it feels like the end of the season is coming

    That didn’t last long. 1-1 at the Bernabéu.

    Somehow Barcelona are on top at Real Madrid.

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    That’s what I heard as well. Italy and Spain salaries are post tax, Germany and EPL pre tax. That’s what people aren’t understanding about the Juve-Weston McKennie contract negotiations (and the recent tax hike in Italy). Juve can be offering a higher salary, but it will be reported as the same...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Don’t tempt me with a good time. Betis are pretty loaded in the attack/attacking MF and are losing most of their CBs, a GK, two DMs (Roca and the all-important Guido), and likely their best LB in local lad Juan Miranda. But if they want to add more attacking creativity to Isco, Fekir, Diao...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    I think everyone is writing the obvious narrative regarding Isco. He was an obscenely talented player at Madrid, at times maybe the best on the team, but didn’t seem to actually care about doing the things a professional player must do. So he fell down the depth chart and had that disastrous...

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Madrid fans will be unbearable for a while now. They advance while their two biggest rivals get bounced. Oh, and there’s a Clásico this weekend.

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    You can replace “Bayern” with “Real” and “Arsenal” with “City” and it’s still true.

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    I was of the opinion that getting rid of the away goal rule might make the games slightly less entertaining. I was wrong.
