LA Liga 24 25 Thread

Wow, helluva a match for a neutral. I couldn’t watch it live, but was checking the score here and there and after it went 2-0 I figured it was done. 20 minutes left and we pull back 4? Long way to go, but this is the sort of result that wins a league. And it was definitely a fair result in the end. Hopefully the international break doesn’t screw us up.

For me the best part was that multiple players stepped up again and we’re seeing a lot of different players contribute this season. Torres is one of them and he’s doing it from the bench which is never easy, but you also have to remember he’s had a somewhat tough time since we signed him. Also have to single out Lewandowski for an excellent striker’s goal out of virtually nothing to immediately bring us back into the match after we looked down and out just a minute prior.

One more quick note. I knew it was up there, but I’m not sure it was this high, but the 20th match we’ve scored 4 or more goals this season.

Betis are flying. Down 2-0 away at Leganes and they come back to win 3-2. Fifth win a row which is notably better form than all of La Liga apart from Barca during that period. They are now level with Villarreal for the Europa League place and they smashed Vitoria away to advance in the Uefa Conference League. We’ll see if they can come back from the international break with that momentum.

Casado likely out for the season. I’m guessing Eric Garcia will be getting more minutes as a result. Hard to see a silver lining with Casado out, but would like to see Pablo Torre get some more minutes. Also, if Flick promotes anyone, while he’s not a like-for-like for Casado, I’d like to see him promote Aleix Garrido.
