Imagine if Messi has another hat trick next game. Has he ever done this before? 3 hat tricks in a row

Hope Valdes has a speedy recovery. That looked painful.

I don't really find it entertaining to watch Barcelona. Obviously if they were my favorite team, I would, but from the neutral perspective it is rarely fun to watch them destroy teams like Celta Vigo...
(this is more of me complimenting them rather than hating on em)

Real putting Sevilla under a lot of pressure early on. It's time for a goal.

Free kick got a change of direction. Cristiano gets credit for the first goal of the game. I like how Real is pressuring high up the pitch, not allowing Sevilla to build up.

Xabi Alonso loses the ball in midfield like a noob. Counter attack Sevilla. Game is tied.

Meh.

Second time Rakitic has wrestled Cristiano down to the ground in the box. No penalty.

Oh my God. How did that not go in, Sevilla is so unbelievably lucky.

Alonso is annoying the crap out of me. He's been playing awful.

Wow. I was just about to post about the pressure that real is putting on and the difference that I thought isco is going to make

Great counter attack

Great play by Rakitic. Huge goal from Sevilla

That's it for Real, no way they're coming back from this. **** bull.

Damn, Madrid doesn't lose 31 matches straight and now is essentially out of the la liga race

Crazy

Before the Clasico Real almost had La Liga in the pocket for this season ..

4 days later they've wasted an entire season .. Incredible

Messi > Ronaldo

Madrid went from potential treble to better potential of being trophy-less for the 2nd straight year.

Don't think we've gotta make this into another Messi-Ronaldo discussion .. Real lost 2 games that were very winnable, IMO those losses got nothing to do with either Messi or Ronaldo. It's not like Messi's the only player in the world who can make a penalty, and Ronaldo isn't the only player on his team who can score a goal

The losses itself are obviously a blow to their title hopes, but the fact that they have 0 confidence left after these last 4 days is the biggest issue here IMO. I don't think the group can recover from this. Even at the end of this game you could already see everyone starting to point at each other

My guess is they're gonna win the Cup, lose in the CL Semi-FInals & end La Liga in 2nd place

I love your logic.

You must have a 4.0 GPA at school.

Nah, just a modest 3.2
