If Benzema understood how to score he would be almost the perfect striker

Amazing Neymar skill in today's game:

I hate that diving tool

@realmadriden: .@MrAncelotti: "Ramos will be back for the final. Cristiano still depends on his progress. Marcelo won't play" #RealMadridAlmería #RMLive

We won at home.

Probably learnt it from Pepe

Try a different wum line Lionel. You won't find any sympathy for Pepe here.

Embarrassing as Neymar's diving antics are, he's a virgin saint and martyr compared to Pepe.

Do you foresee any more shock results ioag?

Hard to tell, but don't think any result should come as a real shock at this point in the season Kenty, but a lot might depend on the situation their opponents are in. Half of La Liga is still struggling to stave off relegation right now, but a few of them might be safe by the time they meet the top 3.

I'd be surprised to see Barça drop more points before their final showdown against Atletico. Their morale's low right now, but once the cup final's out of the way they'll be able to focus fully on La Liga. They'll have plenty of time to prepare for the away game in Villarreal and shouldn't have too much trouble with Getafe and Athletic at home, especially if as I expect Athletic have secured 4th by the time they meet.

CL can take its toll on Atleti & Madrid. Atleti should be able to get past Elche at home, but Elche are better than their position suggests. Away to Valencia is a toughie, but los Ches also have their EL semis to think about. Levante away would be another toughie, but I imagine Levante will be high and dry by then.

Madrid have Osasuna and Valencia at home, I reckon they should deal with those, and then Celta away, who again, might be safe by then. Valladolid away could be the tough one for them.

I expect Atletico Madrid to win the La liga now. If they don’t I will be surprised because they’re so close now. Cmon Atletico! Enough of RM and Barca winning every year.

No top4 this season for the Los Che. Still hope of winning the Europa league though.

woahhhhhh

costa is a complete looney tune ! he must have known what would happen when he scored that goal (ie. he would smash into the post)

v lucky not to break something there i think

He's ok. Good win for Atleti. Still need them to drop points twice.

I guess Valencia will be the only team who can save my bet on Madrid!

Impossible to know if, when and where the prssure might start to show though. I just hope it isn't against Chelsea.

People have said that all season.

Wumo, people have been saying it prematurely.

The final 5 games of the season are when the heat is really turned up. They've passed the first test with flying colours, but there are 4 more left.

The "final 5 games idea" isn't mine btw, it's Johann Cruijff's.

He always said that the only purpose of the first 33 games in the season was to ensure they got to the last 5 in with a shot at the title, because that was when the real pressure started and the title was decided.

Barça won 3 of their 4 consecutive titles under Cruijff when they weren't even top going into the final day.

Interesting stuff.

Any idea how long Costa is out for?

Costa wants to play on Friday.

He himself said yesterday that he'd be available for the game.

Good news then. I'm hoping for an Atleti CL and La Liga double. What a feat that would be.

I'm hoping any of Bayern, Atleti and Madrid win the CL, any of City or L'pool win the Premier and anyone but Chelsea win La Liga.
