Valencia are unbeaten all season and just won 8 in a row.
Surely this can't be the same team Gary managed.

Hard to see Madrid catching Barca now.

Anyone been to either ?
 

How was the trip Gary?

I'm thinking of going over at Easter next year.

I was hoping to see Real but they are playing away that weekend.

Atletico , Gefafe and Leganes are all playing at home that weekend. Typical!
But should at least get tickets to one of the games.

Heading over myself to Madrid on the 23rd Feb for the weekend. Real Madrid are home to Alaves, Leganes are at home Las Palmas and Rayo are at home in the second division to somebody. 

Will go to whatever match is on the Saturday, Real Madrid would get first pick, even though I hate them. Tickets are €40 for Real and are easy to get. Neither Leganes or Rayo have English versions of their websites. Will ask my Spanish speaking friend to have a look if Real are playing on the Sunday.

I'd much prefer to go to see Atletico than Real. I've already been to the Bernabeu for a match.

Myself & a friend went to Bilbao on the 18th , took in Athletic v Villareal & v HSV Berlin but the highlight was a trip to Eibar beating Real Betis 5-0 , 50 minutes by bus from Bilbao , got slaughtered on Spanish brandy pre & post match with the locals - most welcoming fans ever.
Highly recommended Bilbao is a wonderful city & only less than 2 hours flight away

Rayo is a great spot for a game. Went there last year for one and we were behind the goal. Brilliant craic. Fans are basically all quite left wing. General smell of weed the whole time as well, mind, so you'd want to be cool with that.

We were at Atleti v Leganes the night before and it was grand but the Rayo game was far better craic, even though it finished 0-0 and Atleti won 2-0.

Real Madrid v Barcelona
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu
Date: Saturday, 23 December
Kick-off: 12:00 GMT

With Madrid 11 points off Barcelona this is a must win game.

Haven't really followed Spanish football but how are Real doing so badly this season? 

Poor defence/attitude?

Only seeing this now.
 
Great weekend, second time in Madrid.
 
Only caught the Getafe-Barca game.
 
Recommend Getafe for their quaint old skool stadium.
 
Got the metro 20-25 mins south from Gran Via.
Had a beer beside the station and walked through a laneway through apartments and there was the stadium in front of you.
 
Stood beside Casillas's mot, the TV wan. Absolute stunner.

It's an outrage that Julian Faubert hasnt been considered for this list.

In all seriousness, that's some front 6 in that combined XI.

Very tough call this one. Don't think Maradona lived up to expectations at Barca. He only won a Copa Del Rey I think. I think Athletic and Real Sociedad both won leagues while he was there. I loved the Barca team of the early 90's. Romario and Stoichkov were lethal together. Ronaldo was amazing in his season at Barcelona, he wasn't the same player when he joined Real Madrid but was still outstanding. Michael Laudrup worth a mention? He was class as well. I'd probably have Raul in the team.
