LA LIGA SANTANDER ROUNDUP: GAMEWEEK 5

Real Betis' Antonio Sanabria last night picked out the perfect time to at the Bernabeú: 93rd minute header. How are your meds tasting? Señor Ramos?
With that goal, the Andalusians go above the Madrid giants, and it stretches Barcelona's lead at the top to seven points already. How the tables can turn. Just about a month ago, Real looked the team to beat. It's still early days, but they've failed to win at home in La Liga this campaign. It was also the first time they've drawn a blank since Manchester City in April 2016.

Football Club Barcelona, well, still buzzing over Leo's quadruple. You don't expect them to be buzzing yeah. I mean it's Messi. They hit poor Eibar for 6, who were level for just 3 minutes when Sergi Enrich restored parity. The alien struck almost immediately, and so the hurricane came. Top of the tree, and poor old Cristiano can't even look in the mirror. They're back alright.
Enrique Berizzo's Sevilla took second spot last night too after comfortably dispatching Las Palmas. There were wins for Atlèti and Valencia (Zaza hit a hattrick). Depor La Coruna got a win against Depor Alaves, while hosts Leganes and Girona shared the points at the Butarque. To round up the gameweek's action, Villarreal welcome Espanyol, Celta Vigo play hosts to Getafe CF at Balaidos, and Levante welcome Real Sociedad.

You probably are still pissed with the bookies, but hey Barcelona look the part now. Guess who's got the same number of goals with Real Madrid this season (Messi). On this perfect roll, the Catalan spree could be rounded up in no time. Vamòs!

EPL 18/19: DERBY DAY IN MANCHESTER

We’re not scared anymore. A rather defiant Pep Guardiola hinted in his press conference yesterday, as City prepare for their game in hand v Oleball’s Man United. Who will be the King Of The North? Manchester United got thumped by a spirited Everton side this past Sunday. If that’s anything to go by, then it’s probably curtains for Sir Alex’s grandkids. Positive is, Old Trafford can be a daunting presence when needed. You just never know with this club. Ney still having mares of that night in the French capital. Last time out, goals from Kun Agüero and Ilkay Gündogan k illed off any comeback. Can’t be the same again yeah? “Ole’s at the wheel yeah?” (c)bleacherreport.com City fans have been chanting the Campeones anthem already, after Saturday’s win v Pochettino. No VAR sadly then. Victory the maximum, or it could just slip. Yes, that’s the word. Skye Sports confirm a certain Scouse just signed as a fr...

UCL 18/19 SEMIFINAL REVIEW: FIRST LEG

Europe’s elite club competition served up another dose of rich entertainment, not for everyone though. It seems you shouldn’t disrespect an almost-hallowed football ground. Giant-killing Ajax Amsterdam added another victim to the list, with a deserved 1-0 away win at Spurs’ new ground. Donny Van De Beek afforded far too much time in the 18-yard as Hugo Lloris was left exposed. Spurs huffed and puffed as the game came to a close, with Dele Alli only forcing a save from André Onana. Special mention to Jan Vertonghen who recovered after taking a whack which left him bloodied for a bit. Pochettino still has hope as Son Heung-Min would be back from suspension. Ajax looked rattled for a bit as Sissoko and co chased and harried. Fear it, dread it, run from it: Destiny still arrives. Did you really think Leo Messi was going to let this one slip? Liverpool got taught the lesson of the famous smash and grab: Liverpool pl...

UCL 18/19: IT’S AN ALL-ENGLISH AFFAIR

(c) https://www.teamtalk.com/ Cue Mo Salah. Whew. Taken a breath yeah? This is why we love the game. It’s never over till AY says so, or the lady. What a 48 hours it’s been. This season has shown us one thing on different occasions: fortune really does favour the brave. Brave? Or a case of the never-disappearing bottle. Barcelona threw away a 3-0 lead, again. Jürgen Klopp having another Istanbul-like night. Borussia Dortmund suffered the same in 2016. What makes this more special, is the fact that they did it without Mo’ Salah and Firmino. When you’re backed up against the wall, it seems that’s when true character is shown. Hats off for Liverpool, and to Jürgentainment Klopp. Who’d have thought too much passion would be a good thing? (c) https://www.businessinsider.com/ Mauricio Pochettino did not sign a single player in the last two transfer windows, didn’t have the Kane Man, an...
