Big news today as Cristiano Ronaldo is out for the first leg against Manchester City. Thigh injury. He had sat out league action hoping to be ready, but failed a fitness test.
RM still the better side of course, but Manchester City is at home and not facing Ronaldo helps. Citizens need to win this because the second leg at Bernabeu... Level of competition in general has been better in La Liga the last few years than in the EPL.
Feels like Sevilla wins the Europa every year I do think that as a whole league La Liga sucks, but the top 4 or 5 teams can compete with EPL. Athletic Madrid is such a good story to me too the past few years.
Can compete with the EPL? The top teams are clearly superior to the EPL's top teams, as evidenced by international competition.
top clubs in the world are German and Spanish Munich down 1-0 in the aggregate to AM, but they net one today to make it even. They can't afford to concede a goal to AM.
Atletico Madrid scores on the counter might've been offsides, but they appear to have their spot in the finals.
EPL continuing to prove it's a joke. Liverpoo down 2 to Sevilla. All-Spanish Champions final as well.
