Great credit to Sergio Roberto for keeping going right to the end. Showed great tenacity and composure. But why wasn't he fouled when the began his run. Terrible game management by RM.

They have Valencia and Sevilla at home, and Depor, Malaga and Granada away. Nothing for Real to be worried about there, Valencia are sh*te, Sevilla could be a bit awkward, their season is petering out though. All 3 away games are against poor opposition, Malaga probably the hardest of the 3

Celta away second last game is their toughest I think. Balaidos is a terrible place to visit when you need a result.

They haven't been playing really well though and have just been grinding out results. Now they are missing more key players, have suffered a demoralising defeat and have fixture congestion to deal with. It's all to play for.

They don't actually play that well in a lot of their games though, I saw a journo call them 'the best bad team around' during the week, they are specialists in grinding out results, and I can see them continuing to do that for the rest of the season. Granted their squad might get a bit stretched, especially at the back, the games Ramos will miss are not difficult though (on paper)

Presumably for fear they'd have a chance to lump it forward to Pique, with Ramos off the pitch.

But yeah, take him down and end it. Job done.

Mad, mad, mad tactics from Madrid once they equalised, especially what seemed like a bizarre push for a winner.

There's no question that Real are still favorites but they still have a big job to do to win the league. It was game over last night had Messi not scored with the last kick.

Barcelona's failure to get even a draw at Malaga last week could really cost them now. 

Madrid could easily only draw one of their six remaining games, but that's not enough, they have to lose one or draw two.

It's difficult to see them lose one of them and it's probably more likely that two draws is the more realistic chance.

But the Madrid derby Champions League semi-finals could put a spoke in the royalists' wheel.

I hope Atletico kick the sh*t out of them, both metaphorically and literally.

I've never seen a winner of that quality in that kind of circumstance.

It was one of the greatest clutch plays in the history of all sport and I still can't believe I witnessed it.

Just, fooking wow.
 
It was a lovely goal, but I think you're going a bit over the top about it.

I think Sid is referring the context of the situation as much as the quality of the execution. 

Madrids bete noir scoring with literally the last kick of the game in enemy HQ to save Barcelonas title bid

I was in Gran Canaria over Easter and saw flyers for tickets to Las Palmas home games.
Think it was about €50 each and that includes transfer there and back from the usual resorts (Maspalomas/Puerto Rico).
The stadium is about 20 mins drive north of the airport, about 50 mins from Playa del Ingles.
It is a 32,000 capacity open bowl stadium, renovated in 2003.
I'm definitely gonna check it out next year.
They play Barcelona in 2 weeks time there.

It's definitely worth trying, they tend to be a very entertaining team to watch

Anyone see Alba's dive tonight? Probably the worst dive I've ever seen, that ref should seriously be sacked for awarding the penalty

Barca were sh*te tonight. Player should looked like they knew they'd no chance right from the start. Just hope Real Madrid don't win the CL also now. I hope Luis Enriques last match ends with Barca winning the cup. Despite not winning the league this season, he still did a great job.

Shocking that he awarded it, nobody near Alba and the ref was close enough to the dive.  Very dodgy.

Messi scored one of his best ever goals last night https://my.mixtape.moe/ulgoqb.mp4

It will be a travesty if he doesn't win the ballon d'or
