End of season for Valdes and no world cup (even last game with Barca)

Víctor Valdés suffers ACL tear

May be it's the year of Atletico after all

Valdes isn't that good that he'd make that much of a difference

Barcelona breach appears indisputable, claims leading sports lawyer

Great goal by Bale tonight.

4-0 Madrid are leading now. This is away to real sociedad who are 6th in the table. 

Great goal by Bale tonight.

So, are those ungrateful Real Madrid fans still booing him then or are they cheering him now ?

they are a fickle bunch. I think they just expect hat tricks all the time from him and ronaldo. 

Wow R.Madrid missed there shot at the treble.....

Ronaldo injury serious?

Wow so if barca beat athletico last game they win the league! Quite an achievement considering the stick they have been getting all season

Real blew it! If Madrid lose the final will Carlo get the chop? Would it surprise you?

I will definitely be watching the final game between Athletico and Barca, should be a cracker!

If Real don't win the CL he will be canned.

Ronaldo needs to be back for them.

Without Ronaldo and bale they really struggle. Ronaldo is becoming very injury prone and if he continues to get injuries, real could end up in trouble. Unless of course, they do buy suarez.

If I were Reals money men I would do everything to get Suarez in the summer, make him their no 1 target and let it be known. Suarez will not turn that down and Liverpool will again have a headache.

Ronaldo------Suarez-------Bale

That would be the best front 3 in Europe IMO.

Haha they bring back Casillas for one league game and it all goes wrong...

 

Unlucky Carlo, looks like the treble is out of reach but there is still plenty to play for (plus they already have the Cup). Barca-Atletico is going to be ridiculous, I can't wait.

Think of the diving and play acting that will be on show!

I agree. It's hard to watch the so called great football being played when we have about five 4 minute periods of players faking injury and players running up to the ref asking for a player to be sent off for touching the player with the tip of their fingers.

 

It's no wonder why teams can't defend in Spain, they aren't allowed to.

 

That is also why I refuse to watch La Liga. It is also usually not very competitive (compared to say the Premier League), and too homogenized. I like the EPL because it's competitive, tougher, and not as homogenized.

So great to see neither Real or Barcelona win it. Amazing.

If we had to lose to anyone in the CL this year, I'm glad it was to them.

I'm really pleased that Atletico have won it, I went there years ago when Hugo Sanchez was playing for them, they're a real down to earth club in a great part of Madrid and their current support is second to none in Spain.  Well done to them.

Just heard they weren't presented with the trophy today and won't be until the beginning of next season. Very bizarre!

That is retarded. Why didn't they just do the trophy presentation yesterday ? only one of Barcelona or Atletico Madrid could win it and since they were both playing each other it can't have been difficult to prepare.

 

It's hardly going to feel the same when they lift the trophy at the start of next season.

 

Football can be really dumb at times.

 

I am sure Atletico Madrid would like to do an open top bus parade, if they don't win the Champions League there won't be any point now.

I think the reasoning behind it was that only 500 athletico supporters were in the ground yesterday. Even then I don't understand why they can't just be presented with it at there home stadium next week sometime

^ Apparently it's because the head of the Spanish FA was away and wouldn't be around to present it, which is odd to say the least. Surely they could have found someone else to do it.

So their goalkeeper and star striker won't even be there for the trophy, ridiculous.

My opinion is that they don't want to celebrate when they have another tough match ahead in a week.

They want to stay focused.

And the thinking is to roll down the streets of Madrid with two trophies and stick it to their neighbors. 

Looks like the title could be decided at the Nou Camp after RM's draw.
