Bellingham scored both goals for Real Madrid in the 2-1 win against Barcelona in El Clasico today, and got a last minute winner. He's already got legend status here.
Girona top a third of the way through the season. It won't last of course but it's great to see, especially such a different team up there from the usual challengers Sevilla, Betis, Villareal etc.
This is really something for them to have done so well.Hope they keep it up and give hope to all the smaller clubs that just make up the numbers,just like Leicester did a few years back
Went to Atletico Madrid v Almeria yesterday. The stadium is superb and atmosphere brilliant but not quite as intense as the old Vicente Calderon. Not a bad view for the cheapest tickets (€30)!
Smaller clubs that are owned by the richest owners in the world in the City Group you mean?
They're punching above their weight that's for sure, but yeah let's not gloss over who's paying the bills
I think you need to check how much they spent in the summer. Around €20m.
They also lost Romeu to Barcelona in the summer and their top scorer went to Lazio.
Their salary limit this season is set at €52m. Madrid’s in comparison is €727m. It's a long way off from being as simple as they're only top because of City Football group's money.
