Real Madrid are handing out an absolute battering. 4-0 up at half-time in Betis.

[ggcc14]

that fourth goal was a thing of beauty, incredible counter attack ending with Pepe putting it on a plate for Isco.

[Gerry Attrick]

A competitive weekend.

There are going to be weekend's like this. Real and Barcelona have the finest players in the world at their disposal, they'd batter most PL teams too. The weekend before the international break saw Real draw and Barcelona get a kicking in Vigo.

[pyroparty]

Ok, thanks.

[ggcc14]

This is going to be only the 2nd matchday where Atleti, Barca and Real all won their matches.

[Gerry Attrick]

There are chasms in this Real defence. And there's 1 back for Betis.

[Gerry Attrick]

Gorgeous finish from Isco.

[rscanderlech]

Wow, Atletico after 8 games: 21 goals for, 3 goals against.

i haven't been watching, but have they improved in attackthis year? If so, what's the difference?

The difference is Simeone decided playing 4 CMs is not a good idea after all. Correa, Gameiro, Griezmann and Carrasco all started today.

So they've fielded more offensive teams without losing much defensively?

Pretty much. I suspect when they're up against better opposition we'll see Simeone revert to type. He's certainly gone a lot more attacking against the weaker teams though.

[Gerry Attrick]

Ronaldo finally gets himself on the scoresheet.

This could really take them up a notch in La Liga, and Simeone himself as a coach.

[Kopenhagen]

That opening goal from the Granada player.

Simeone is already the best manager in the world and no one comes even close to him, now that he's adapted to smashing these smaller sides he's pretty much flawless as a manager.

[Gerry Attrick]

Celta are being belted by Villarreal.

[Phil M]

Simeone is already the best manager in the world and no one comes even close to him,

Hmmm.

[Gerry Attrick]

Hmmm.

I think he's Sibierski Nazario/KingOfStrongStyle

Makes a new account the day after the post, but a couple of hours later logs in to his old one as he forgot he made a new one, hence the later active time from Sibierski to King

Carrasco is boss

Would love us to sign him.

[Barneylfc∗]

Haha, it's true though. He's definitely all 3  . I'm sure one of the mods can confirm by doing some digging on his IP or something

haha I believe you mate. The fact you haven't been challenged on it also pretty much confirms it. You can always tell the same posting style of the banned members coming back. There's a few others in the general football and sport threads

Espanyol got a last minute equaliser at home vs Eibar earlier - Eibar are 8th - and looking decent. Highlights here - http://www.fullmatchesandshows.com/2016/10/22/espanyol-vs-eibar-highlights-2/


Barca are away vs Valencia today with a 3.15pm kick off - be interesting to see how they get on after playing City in the CL earlier in the week and picking up a couple of injuries too.

The game is not on tv in the UK, so some streams here:-

No worries - http://baltak.com/channel32.php is in Spanish - but looks decent quality on full screen.

The https://www.reddit.com/r/soccerstreams/  link will likely have some quality links to decent quality streams just before the game kicks off

strange back 5 for Valencia, in that its pretty good but kind of thrown together.

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

Iniesta down injured.

[ggcc14]

Iniesta down injured.

looks very serious

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

I like that Valencia don't have a sponsor on the front of their shirts.

[oojason]

Hope it's not a break / ligament damage - didn't look good at all. Rakitic on for him.

Bad tackle on Messi there too.

nice goal by Messi, 0-1 Barca

[oojason]

Barca 1-0 up. Messi with the goal - Suarez is offside and jumps over the low incoming shot in line with the gk - goal given...

BArca have had a sponsor for the last couple seasons. You're either talking shit or you were in a coma. 

[ggcc14]

do you know when those images are from?

http://www.rcdestilshop.com/en/

the official espanyol website shirts have no sponsor.

i'm actually watching Barca now, says more about the stream than anything else 

[SerbianScouser]

It`s just amazing how Messi makes a correct decision in the final third every single time without fail. A superior football mind.
