[QUOTE="Helmy, post: 544943, member: 54698"] It's funny, though, because last year Ronaldo outscored Messi. I honestly think the 'Ronaldo is an asshole' misconception counts against, another creation of the media... In relation to Spanish and English football, I don't think Spanish football is as poor as some point out. It just so happens that Barcelona and Real Madrid are so good. In saying that, you only have to look at La Liga this year to see that it's not as set in stone as some think, considering how many points Real Madrid have dropped and that Atletico Madrid are 5 points ahead of them in second... I know Atletico Madrid lost their first match against Barcelona, but they have been Barcelona's bogey team in the past, so I wouldn't be surprised if they take points in the next match. If Real Madrid were to win the next Clasico and Atletico Madrid continue to keep pace with Barcelona, who knows... It's the RM v AM derby that will be interesting, I don't think AM have beaten RM since the 1990's. Both Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao have done well in the Europa League in recent years, as well. [/QUOTE]
