LA LIGA & REAL MADRID

[Von!-x]

---

If they play games like that, they should be able to upend Barcelona. But sometimes, they play complacently. Was it against Dynamo Kiev that they were down 0-2 before waking up to level it?

I wish them well and I hope they meet Chealsea at the Champions League Final.

i saw that game...............it was superb, but still i won't count more on it, since it was against a lowly club. But in 2 weeks time come Barcelona, now that will be a test. Their performance in that game should be the true gauge of their ability and capability for the rest of the season.......



and as for Von, Chelsea against Real Madrid in ECC finals That would be a no contest, bare in mind that the players in Madrid had seen it all be it in club level and internationals....chelsea lack the experience. Im sure if that dream finals of yours will come true Chelsea will crack under pressure.

Chelsea?.....hmmmmmm well i guess they've made it to the next round.With Mr. Mourinho on their team,i think they can win silverwares, but against Madrid, they need to have a perfect game.......

Real Madrid, won plenty of Champions League Cup already. That was in the past. They're currently third on Group B based on goal difference. I wonder why last year's finalists were not from the top clubs - Porto and Monaco. I don't know anybody from Porto the last season and they're at the top of ESPNs top club worldwide. After the break-up, I dont think they can recover.

Chelsea currently plays beautiful football. Now, they're on top of the Premiership, conceding only few goals. Given enough time, REal will unleash its power and top the Spanish League on time. I just hope that there'll be no ego tripping among the Real stars. The Champions League is within reach. Anything can happen in Football!

i guess von is right.....Madrid is third in their group, but their way to the next round is much favorable than the rest of the team..they will host Leverkusen at Bernabeau then travel to the empty stands of Rome to face the already eliminated Roma FC......
