  • Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Unhappy & Wants to Leave?

    For those of you wondering why Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t celebrate his first league goals of the season, it’s because he’s suddenly unhappy at Real Madrid. Why? No one really knows, as the Portuguese phenom refused to dive deep into the subject, but it has, obviously, caused a few rumors to rise from nowhere about his desire to find another club.

  • Roundup of the 2012 Summer Transfer Deadline Deals

    Roundup of the 2012 Summer Transfer Deadline Deals

    The last day of the transfer deadline heading into the 2012-2013 season across Europe showed how far financially English clubs are when compared with the rest of Europe, as Manchester City stood out with five signings (Javi Garcia, Maicon, Nastastic, Richard Wright, Scott Sinclair), followed by Tottenham, adding Hugo Lloris and Clint Dempsey.

  • FC Barcelona – Looking for the Formula to Help Lionel Messi

    If anyone was surprised that Barcelona struggled to get their regular dominant possession game to work yesterday in Osasuna, he probably didn’t watch the same match last season when the hosts grabbed a quick 2-0 lead that lasted till the end. It wasn’t much different in Tito Vilanova’s first away match, but this time Victor Valdes made enough stops, and Lionel Messi was there once again with his golden touch.

  • Real Madrid – Luka Modric to Fix Jose Mourinho’s Problems?

    A rarity occurred after Real Madrid lost at Getafe, putting them 5 points behind Barcelona. Jose Mourinho actually accepted defeat (with a little, tiny arrow towards the referee) and didn’t have any back up words for his players, who did look pretty bad. Maybe the arrival of Luka Modric, finally a done deal, will help them rebound from the disappointing start to the season.

  • Lionel Messi Saves Barca With Two Goals (Osasuna vs Barcelona)

    Two matches, four goals. Lionel Messi wasn’t all that great once again; Barcelona were pretty bad for 70 minutes, struggling once again against Osasuna at the very difficult Estadio El Sadar, but their early goal wasn’t enough against Barca who improved during the second half and got a bit of help from the referee.

  • Real Madrid – Jose Mourinho Doesn’t Want to Change

    What is the first thing Jose Mourinho does after Real Madrid lost to Barcelona in the first leg of the Spanish Supercopa? Blame the referee and linesman for an offside that never happened, and then of course declare he won’t be talking about the referees this season. And there was nothing new regarding the football his team came to display.

  • FC Barcelona – Tito Vilanova Can’t Rely on Lionel Messi as his Only Deep Threat

    The Clasico balance of power shifted, just a little bit, towards Barcelona after their 3-2 win in the first leg of the Spanish Supercopa, although the difficulty to score goals during their best moments of the match is a warning sign to Tito Vilanova that last season’s problems are still with his players.

  • FC Barcelona – Still the Best Team With Lionel Messi

    It’s not just him, but it’s mostly him. Lionel Messi didn’t really have a brilliant debut to the 2012-2013 season, but less than brilliant was enough to score two goals and lead Barcelona to a 5-1 win over Real Sociedad to start the league campaign with.

  • Athletic Bilbao vs Real Betis – Match of the Weekend

    While most of the attention on Sunday went elsewhere, the best match happened at the San Mames in Bilbao, where Real Betis won an incredible thriller 5-3, beating Athletic in one of the craziest matches in quite some time, in the La Liga or anywhere else in Europe.

  • Lionel Messi Back to La Liga With Goal Double (Barcelona vs Real Sociedad)

    Quietly, without making too much noise, Lionel Messi began his 2012-2013 La Liga campaign like nothing has changed over the summer, scoring twice to back up his record breaking season right from the start, as Barcelona cruised to a 5-1 win over Real Socieded in a perfect start to their season.
