Season officially underway. Messi continuing where he left off, brilliant goals, movement and passing. Two goals for him, and two for Luis. Arda seems to waken up as well, another goal for him. 5-1 against Betis.

Barca already showing why they will win the league, they still got Andre Gomes, Iniesta, Neymar and Mascherano to come back into the squad

Andre Gomes was playing when I put it on. What an incredible team they are

This Sevilla game is mental. Both teams defending like Liverpool.

Sampaoli's teams are leakier than a culinder but they're amazing to watch. Haven't seen any of the game but it sounds mad.

So a poor man's Liverpool on a good day?

So many new faces for Sevilla. I am tipping them to win... Europa league title

Sibierski Nazário · « **Reply #12 on:** August 20, 2016, 10:55:23 pm »

Wow this Sevilla team are so fun to watch

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #13 on:** August 20, 2016, 10:55:46 pm »

Sevilla 6-4 Espanyol!

Had no idea Poyet was at Betis. Not the kind of first game you want that's for sure.

Yes he joined them in May this year.

A very new eleven Zidane will start vs Real Sociedad:

Casilla, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Kroos, Kovacic, Bale, Morata, Asensio.

Those are 5 players who were not starters last season playing from the beginning today.

Some are being played through necessity rather than choice though. Kovacic and Asensio won't be playing when Modric and Ronaldo return. Highly doubt Casilla will either.

I would say all of them are played through necessity, but it's still a good chance to see new talented players (Asensio being the main one for me), and probably a more even match vs Real Sociedad.

pinky · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2016, 07:01:18 pm »

Well, Isco and James probably out by choice, that's right.

Madrid seem to be bringing through loads of talent at the minute. Tad surprising Asensio has leapfrogged Vasquez in the pecking order.

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #21 on:** August 21, 2016, 07:16:34 pm »

Great header by Bale 1-0

Phil M · « **Reply #22 on:** August 21, 2016, 08:02:16 pm »

Asensio impressing again. Could be a key player for Madrid this season.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #23 on:** August 21, 2016, 09:16:19 pm »

Hope Jordi Cruyff scores for Alaves!

How the fuck is this still 0-0

An injury time penalty spares Atletico's blushes

Unfuckingbelievable.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #27 on:** August 21, 2016, 11:06:58 pm »

What a finish. Alaves equalise with their first shot of the match in the 94th minute.

Crazy ending to Atleti match

that atletico madrid match ending though!

Great stuff Alaves, loved the look on simiones face at the equaliser, need to believe more going forward.

Kopenhagen · « **Reply #31 on:** August 22, 2016, 02:53:42 am »

Asensio's touch & finish were beautiful.

RobbieRedman · « **Reply #32 on:** August 22, 2016, 11:55:58 am »

I thought this weekends fixtures were a one off where they staggered the fixtures and all games were shown live (on sky they were anyway). However looking at the next few weeks it seems it carries on, you pretty much have a live Spanish game on whenever you switch on. pro's and cons i suppose but wonder how long it will be before that's introduced here, it's half way there already

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #33 on:** August 22, 2016, 09:26:33 pm »

The Gary Neville influence remains. Valencia 2-1 down, at home to Las Palmas.

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #34 on:** August 22, 2016, 09:35:16 pm »

Come upstairs for two minutes and they're 3-2 down.

Cracking equaliser for Celta

b_joseph · « **Reply #38 on:** August 27, 2016, 09:05:04 pm »

Kroos has such good technique...very much like Alonso out there. Great goal.

pyroparty · « **Reply #39 on:** August 27, 2016, 09:09:33 pm »

Zidanes league record is mental. Played 22, won 19, drawn 2, lost 1. And all while going through rounds and winning a CL!

14 wins in a row in the league. Might get a lot better given their upcoming games too!

Some jeers at the end because they *only* won by one while missing 3 of their best players, they are such spoilt bellends!!
