Barcelona playing at 13.00 CET because of the Asian market annoys me. Why do Asia now have to dictate OUR sport? Look at NBA or NFL, what they first care about are the American viewers, they mostly dont give a damn about us Europeans.

I always enjoyed watching the late night Barca and Real Madrid on Saturdays and Sundays, but now they play most of their games the same time as PL and Bundesliga.

It's a matter of time before we see PL/La Liga games and CL finals being played in Asia.

Atleti Barsa.
Finaly one of the 6 games that decide the title.

The gap between the top 3 and the rest is starting to get ridiculous.

Not only the big teams or first division, we are having second division games at 12:00 too.

They really dont have an "away culture" in Spain like in Germany and England.

Many Spaniards are napping around that time.

Real drop points against Villarreal. Good point for the boys in yellow.

1-1, bad result for us. Not a great game for a neutral spectator. Iniesta, Rakitic and Pique have had a good game.

At least Madrid got to keep its lead. Ronaldo is looking pretty poor, as is Benzema

Benzema is poor.... Morata should be starting and it should be clear by now.

Zidane may be playing favorite IMO with Benz. There's no reason why Morata shouldn't be starting over Benz at this point.

It was no coincidence that Real came back offensively vs Lisbon when the subs were made. just saying...

Morata should start over Benz....

Benz is a super sub at this point.....

come on Z, put your bias-ism aside!

Madrid has lost two more points against a town that has 27 thousand inhabitants
