Football- News, Rumours, Analysis, gossip and much more.....
Let's create a small community of football lovers out there. This thread intends to add value to our knowledge of the game and to hone our understanding about the game. Although football comes with banter, let us try to keep the discussion objective and civil to the maximum extent possible.
Both Messi and Ronaldo are the legends of the game. Period. So, please do not bring up this debate :)
North London is Red » show previous quotesGood idea. I read the below article on Guardian every Friday before the PL. It gives a nice little preview of all PL games on weekend. It has almost become a ritual for me now.
Also, this fun article that I read recently:-
The unlikely story of how 'Dundee United' became an insult in Nigeria
The Guardian is my go-to site for football news. For La Liga, I especially love Sid Lowe. (https://www.theguardian.com/profile/sidlowe) Dude's my favourite football journalist.

AzadHindFauz,DevanapiyamAt first glance I wondered why a barca fan wants real to win la liga :pPrediction for La Liga anyone? Will Atletico choke?I definitely hope so :P
In my worst nightmare, in a nail-biting finish, Ramos scores a double on the final day as Real takes home the liga.
Oops... One line went missing in between :P
In my most glorious dreams, I see a Messi hat trick sealing an epic final day victory as Barca edge out Atleti, with Real miles behind
City have a habit of bottling it up at this stage however good they might be playing. I doubt they would beat bayern (assuming they reach the semis).
True, but Guardiola cannot be kept away from CL for long. They have not made too many mistakes this season. There is a first time for everything :)
None of the other teams have been as emphatic as them. Bayern is probably close. That's why I'm hoping they sail over PSG.
Celeborn,@AzadHindFauz don't underestimate Dortmund.. esp with 2nd leg at signal iduna
I want to see Haaland perform at final stages. But, Terzic over Pep cannot be digested at this moment.
Caesar,SANJEEV_YADAVI don't want him to win the treble or the quadrupleCity have a habit of bottling it up at this stage however good they might be playing.

Given the huge gap between the 1st and 2nd in the league, it looks very likely. He can afford to rotate key players even if it comes at the cost of 2 or 3 upsets in the league. Treble or Quadruple is almost impossible if you play same set of players in all formats. Liverpool is a good example this season to see the adverse effects of overplaying the team.
Pep has a lot of depth already. Aguero comes off the bench- someone who deserves to play 90 minutes in any of the best European teams! Lately, Pep has also been playing Bernado Silva up front with both Jesus and Aguero on the bench. This kind of flexibility gives MCI great advantage.
