Merry Christmas.

The city we have come to know.

Pure artistry from Michael Olise

Classy for Antoine.

My new favorite LaLiga midfielder (whispers beside Koke).

Abel Ruiz was the main striker during the Olympics while Sergio Gómez played as a winger (left or at times right winger)

He's been decent, played as LB for majority of games but think his best performances have come when he has played higher up as wide midfielder/winger and has the freedom to move centrally and cause dilemma for teams.

They've been good when pressing more than breaking down teams evident in this season and the - so their performances or results have been better vs the top half teams than bottom half teams (low blocks).

Think they've not successfully replaced some individuals & the tactics hasn't helped as well.

#Josema showed lots of personality in possesion yesterday which enabled #Atleti beat #SpartaPraha's man oriented press when they reacted to a pressing trigger (forced backward pass).

This was one of the positives yesterday, seeing #Atleti successfully beating a press on the right side.

#UCL

TBH, i preferred him as an #8 roaming between the lines but it seems he will likely end up as #6 given how much mins and experience he is accumulating from playing there with both the U21s and Atleti, maybe with the NT too.

Giuliano Simeone celebrating his goal vs Las Palmas.

I think Giuliano has brought the same level of energy to the team as Barrios did two seasons ago. He possesses that hunger, tenacity, and never-say-die attitude that embodies Atlético Madrid.

Think the biggest positives have been playing so good tonight without both, think Barrios has helped and the shape we used post world cup when we cage oppositions in their half with far side FBs inverting etc all in all much improvement with the ball.

Spoken like a true Cameroonian lol

True, was just saying - more of an if. Like i said the talent pool is still good.

This team at the U21 Euros will be a cheat code.

It's amazing the talent pool Spain has at the moment (Yeremy, Guerra, Casado, Hugo Álvarez, Moleiro, Kike Salas etc) especially when comparing it to the era that coincided with the end of the Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso era.

The #LaLiga starter pack has been updated as more clubs and individuals from the world of Spanish football join Bluesky.

I’ve tried to get all of the essential accounts in one place, but let me know if I’ve missed anyone and I’ll get them added.

¡Vamos! 🇪🇸⚽️

Thanks.. me rushing to the LaLiga folder.

Made in the Canary Islands.

Crazy man. I was thinking how it could have been more fun had;

1. Libya vs Nigeria been played
2. Benin taken their chances against Nigeria and had beaten them...

I think it would have even been more better

This Casado kid wins me every game - I love his simplicity and efficiency both in and out of possession.

The camera angle for ESP vs SUI at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez Lopéz is great.

Racing have Segunda in a stranglehold José Alberto's side look different to your typical league leader, but their unique identity is what's helping to sustain their position.

First post on here is, very predictably, about some niche football happening in Spain.

Wrote about Racing de Santander's historic start to this Segunda campaign, and how they've become odds-on favourites to make it back to LaLiga (after a long time away). www.lapausa.digital/p/racing-hav...

ah yeah, think the signings coming in the summer of 2025 would be face 2 of what we saw this past summer, with the facing out of older players and also improving that aging/very old spine - maybe a change as well.

Would be interesting to see what happens to academy players if no promotion.

Atlético to let Azpilicueta and Witsel leave; Griezmann’s future undecided Big decisions await in defense and at forward.

I guess I am going to start promoting my work here!

Antoine Griezmann is reportedly thinking about leaving Atlético Madrid in 2025. Compared to 2019, will Atleti be in a better position to handle his exit this time? www.intothecalderon.com/2024/11/17/2...

You think the reports coming out during this break are hints of a major shakeup in the summer?

Good thing it's been banter or Constructive arguments so far which is great, to me at least.
