El Zen Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Thread revival. Ter Stegen is a pretty decent goalie, isn’t he? Watching Barca clinging on to a 1-0 lead at home to Celta Vigo, and honestly ter Stegen has saved four or five sitters. Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Great win for my Spanish team yesterday, little Rayo Vallecano, in one of the other Madrid derbies (one of the lower key ones). 3-2 v Real! It was at home and admittedy Rayo's stadium is small, like Selhurst Park, but still, this is a bit embarrassing for one of the Real players: "Real only managed two shots on target - with one particularly wild effort from Federico Valverde sailing out of the stadium and into the balcony of a nearby apartment" (From the BBC).

El Zen Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Osasuna - Barca was a cracking game. Barca played with 10 men for much of the game, falling behind 1-0. The home team really had deserved to get something from the game with an impressive performance, but Barca came back to win it. Barca have been widely ridiculed for their CL failure, but they are top of the league with a fairly convincing record. Athletic returned to winning ways with a convincing 3-0 home win over Valladolid. They’re fun to watch when they click, Athletic. Nico Williams is a great talent and his brother is underrated.

Los Bukaneros It's because I lived in a flatshare for five months in Vallecas, just down the road from Rayo's stadium and I used to walk past it sometimes. I could have been a glory hunter and chosen Real or gone for 'Atleti', who occasionally win something, but I like rooting for underdogs and Rayo were my local team.

They’re a very likeable club, is my impression. The strong left wing and antifa ties are obviously a big plus for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think some of the Real fans were disrespectful and ungrateful towards Gareth Bale, after he'd played so well for them, helping them to win several trophies with his many goals.

La Real took an early lead and the home side have since been reduced to 9 (!) men. We’ve only played 35! And now it’s 0-2. How many can La Real get?
