La Liga 2013-2014

What did Andersen do there? Useless goalkeeping. He didn't even hit it particularly well it's straight down the middle.
 
Good ol' eurosport :rolleyes:

I think the way it dipped surprised him, but yeah, he could have done better (or something at least)

Seems to be his particular style of goalkeeping to be fair - just standing there.

Not that he could do anything about the Ronaldo freak shot.
 
Brilliant by Modric. Always pulls out a couple of great involvements during a match. Not a bad finish by the Benz either.

Real Madrid have it too easy today.

Want to see some sexy, brilliant football in the second half at least.
 
Betis have completely crumbled after an excellent campaign last season... guess that's what such a squad overhaul does. Same for Rayo, although they seemed to be able to live with it better before, this season they haven't found their Michu or Piti yet (Alberto Bueno showing signs but not quite the same).

Garrido is a shit manager. I mean, he even got sacked at Brugge ffs.
 
5 goals from 5 different players. Not bad.

Elche - Rayo on now
I don't know if we have scouts there, but it looks like Saul Niquez is at centre back again. If anyone does try watching it with Spanish commentary, they always call him Saul.
 
So on the one hand, Madrid went home haapy.

On the other hand, the Betis fans are still shouting their support for the old (sacked) manager Pepe Mel and booing the new guy and the directors. The Betis players decided they needed to talk about the season and held a two hour meeting with the coaches after the match. The outcome?
"What happens in the dressing room stays in the dressing room. What matters is we're committed to the manager and he's commited to us. We're capable of more, and we're going to save the season."
or as another player put it:
"We deserve the criticism. We don't deserve the pay we're getting. We have to run more, fight more and give more."
 
Couldn't be tighter at the top.....three clubs separated by a point.
