Please stop giving me grief about the comments that came out in the papers today. You got the wrong guy. I am not the one that is optimistic about Mallorca's ability to overturn a 2-0 first leg deficit against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey. They are inspired and Gregorio Manzano is ready to pull […]

Lyon is currently en route to an eighth straight Ligue1 title, but that could have suffered a huge hit after this weekend.

The […]

Carles Puyol's wiff and Sergio Agüero's shot past Victor Valdes officially gave meaning to La Liga.   If you were to say to anyone with half a brain that Real Madrid would be four points from the top at the beginning of March, they would be wondering if you were in favor of legalizing the tax […]

If there is a player that is as synonymous to Real Madrid as Raúl it is Guti. Now this idol plans to do what Madrid's all-time leading scorer insinuated earlier in the week. He, like Raúl has insinuated, that his last season at the Santiago Bernabéu will be in 2011. Guti, 32, is in his […]

Barcelona brags about having one of the best youth systems in the world. Today was one of the days where they truly did not want to hear about it. In the mid-90’s a kid named Iván de La Peña came up and went up the ranks quickly. He got to the big team and was […]

A Few Months Ago... The presentation of the one who supposed to be the big reinforcement for the Champions League. Now... The presentation of the sofa in which Huntelaar will be watching the Champions League from.

As I find them on the internet, I will either post the link or get the file. On Sunday, former Barcelona goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta will be interviewed by Colombian radio network Caracol.  As soon as the interview is available, it will be posted here on La Liga Talk. Oh, if there were any doubt... the […]

One of Diego Maradona´s dreams after his playing days were over was to become a grandfather.  On Thursday that dream came true.  After a one-year relationship between Atlético Madrid striker Sergio Agüero and Maradona´s younger daughter Gianina, destiny gave football it´s ultimate child. Benjamín Lionel Agüero Maradona... whoo that was a mouthful, was born at […]

Barcelona's urgency to lock up Cameroonian goalscorer Samuel Eto'o with a long-term contract has increased significantly. Gazzetta dello Sport reported today that AC Milan and the player's agent have begun talking after the player said this will most likely be the last season for him at the Nou Camp.  For many this is the resentment […]

All tihngs come to an end and for Barcelona Their ten-match winning streak came to an end.  It was early December since Barcelona last played and not get the three points.    Still based on their result at the Manuel Ruiz de Lopera and the likeliness of Madrid winning at El Molinón...
