How the feck can a player do what Alba did and not be punished after the match?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Dirty douche football from Simeone's men. Godin was interviewed by Uruguayan radio and tried to spin it that he wasn't intending to target Leo's injured hammy but get his defense to tighten up around the box
If one really had the right to dive it'd be Messi considering all the fouls on him in each match but when it comes to that credit to him tbh. Alba is a little turd.

Malaga have probably lost too many players (and their manager) to trouble Barca. However with Messi out injured and some players maybe getting rested for the Supercopa it might not be as you'd think.
Granada beat Madrid last year - Ronaldo scored from a setpiece for the wrong team for the only goal of the match.

He hit the crossbar and it rebounded the length of the pitch into his own goal? Or he tried to defend a corner and headed into his own net?
feck, the Madrid and United vs Chelsea games are overlapping?
Sociedad 1 down already.
Espanyol beat Valancia 3-1
Elche (still makes me smile to see them in Liga 1) drew 1-1 with Real Sociedad

Atléti destroying Rayo, who are playing with a suicidal high line. Arda Turan with a goal and 2 assists. Diego Costa having another great game, Villa desperate to get among the goals and getting pissed at the linesman always calling him offside 
Last season in the corresponding fixture Atléti led 4-0 until the 82nd minute when they went on to concede 3 in 7 minutes for a nervy finish to 4-3. Doesn't look like that's going to happen again, this Rayo looks far weaker than its two previous incarnations since coming back up to La Liga.
Btw: Carles Gil, a youngster on loan to Elche from Valencia, was outstanding last night against La Real.
edit: Villa hits the bar from about 8 yards out when it should've been a tap-in. Terrible miss.

Villa .. Apparently he can only score against Barcelona..
.. Apparently he can only score against Barcelona..Villa looks hopeless... another great chance gone to waste.
5-0. Wonder if Simeone is going to criticize the result and call the game boring.
Wasn't boring at all, one-sided as hell though
No Messi for Barça, Neymar starts on the bench.

Agreed. Bet Simeone enjoyed it most among all people.Wasn't boring at all, one-sided as hell though

Messi-less Barcelona taking on good team away from home.. Hmmm.. Interesting to see how they're going to perform, considering they pretty much collapsed last year when Messi got injured.
Fabregas was a class apart last week. I expect him to pull the strings again tonight against a lesser Malaga side than last year.
He's looking like the most threatening player on the pitch so far.
Barcelona have control, not many clear cut chances though.. Malaga had only one shot on goal from a freekick, well saved by Valdes.
Fabregas playing well, Alexis having a poor game.
I've just seen that Malaga have a player on their books called Bobley Anderson. He's my new favourite non-Chelsea player.
Bobley.
Bobley.
Barça dominating, without much penetration... one or two great moves and passes by Fàbregas. One great run but ultimately poor shot from Iniesta. One shaky moment from Willy Caballero but Málaga's defending has been very solid. Valdés had to make a great low save on a direct free-kick, but other than that Málaga haven't been able to really threaten him.
Anyone watching the game on "beIN" (or something like that - their logo looks like shit)? Commentators are fecking hilarious. Screaming in the microphone at every opportunity right from the start. Completely over the top
Willy Caballero channelling his performance against Dortmund with that block. Gotta love how he looks so clumsy while making those awesome saves

Yup!! I am watching on beIN sports 1HD in France. It is an ok channel I suppose. As far as the commentators are concerned, we should look rather close to home with the likes of Phil Thompson and especially Charlie Nicholas's dreadful accent when he gets excited.
An Adriano classic!
Quelle but!!!!!
Fabregas has been doing well since I've tuned in.
Such a well-taken goal for a Full-back/winger.
That was a cock-up from Willy.
Semi-deserved lead for Barcelona, from an unexpected source. Caballero should have done better.
Half-time debate: Who is the better midfielder: Iniesta or Fabregas?
I know the caf is in love with Iniesta, but despite his superior dribbling ability and enjoyable play-style, I don't think Iniesta can pull the strings like Fabregas and Xavi do.. He isn't the kind of player who can control the tempo, or run the offense providing the killer passes that win you games... If you had to choose one of the two, which would you pick to play for United?

Just after doing so well to save it so well with his willy an' all.
I'd choose Fabregas because I think he'd suit Utd better but I still rate Iniesta as a better player overall.
Iniesta can do anything Fabregas can.
Disagree. His finishing is below average and his passing range isn't that special IMO.
His finishing is terrible I'd say (for a player as talented as he is I mean).
I was going for a little more nuance, but yes, yes it is crap for someone of his quality
Looks like Adriano got injured as well.
Neymar in for Pedro.
Mateu Lahoz is such a bizarre referee...
Wow! What a chance for Malaga!
