Sevilla, Atletico & Barcelona all at risk of missing out on the Round of 16 heading into the final Matchday. Meanwhile, all 4 PL teams have qualified.
This is just one season and La Liga will improve. But if the worst happens, the banter will continue as usual. 
Lamela was nominated for the Puskas award. Ignore the bias, but I think he deserves it as well.
Definitely not a ‘clear’ Puskas winner this year. I like Lazaro’s and Schick’s goals best, now I just hope I didn’t butcher their names.
I know Messi & Ronaldo were at unreal levels the last decade, but i wish you could only win the Ballon D’Or once. Maybe it’s too late and unfair to implement now, but i feel it would better reflect the talent around Europe.
And yes, Lewandowski at least deserved this one, especially since there wasn’t an award last year. But i’m sure they gave it to Messi because of the Copa America.
ESPN’s top 100 players in football:
Navas 6th best RB
Emery 8th best manager
No Bono, No Acuna, No Kounde
What a joke!
I mean it is ESPN…haha
That is true lol.And this might not be the best place to put this but I am planning on going to Charlotte’s first ever game next season which is at DC United. Hope to see you there pal. 
Damn Skippy. That’s awesome! Making a weekend of it I hope!
Making it a weekend is the plan for sure!Very excited to see Charlotte in their first game.Should be a great time regardless of the result.
Atletico take the lead, then Carrasco the bonehead gets a dumb read card.
And then Wendell follows it up a red (that was a lot of acting by Cunha) ridiculous
Well, the Madrid-clubs saving some spanish honor…
Yep Real and Atletico move on.
Let’s hope Sevilla and Villarreal do as well tomorrow!
Atleast Villareal, Sociedad and :poop: are advancing. Very big for Emery and the guys, securing another big influx of CL money and maybe look to surprise next round, would be amazing for them since results have been rough in La liga.
Which team is setup for the long haul, Villarreal or Sevilla?
Sevilla has many advantages in numbers so they have more to fall back on, bigger foundations. But anything as you can see with Barca, can be destroyed by bad business. Within their size and posibilities Villareal is doing always respectable, but more volatile, even when they demoted some time back. They overcame that relatively quick, so that´s quite a showing of growth and potential. Still a big gap tho in general.
In a way I think they are comparable to Hoffenheim. The city of Sinsheim and suburbs just reaching about 40.000 inhabitants, where Villareal has like 50.000. Where they have a lot of facilities and things going for them. But to outgrow that size of foundation and to become stable at the top is quite difficult and risky. So within their limits they are doing great, with very high peaks but problems to build up more from that.
Sevilla has better chances, but is not making good use of them as of now.
If you look at the success of Villarreal’s youth teams and their current young guns on the A squad, I might argue that Villarreal are set up better than Sevilla for the future.
