Every single RM player apparently loses the ability to play football the moment they get in position to have an actual chance. Not sure how they win games like this.

I'm guessing this is not the Madrid defense that has conceded so little in La Liga, or is Courtouis just super important?

Not watching the game, are they still playing like hot garbage? Given how solid Getafe's defense is I doubt the Barca boys would have an easy game even if they played like a real team.

Edit: And just like that they score, god drat I'm bad.

They just got a goal and have been a few passes away from a few more but they are giving up the ball very easily and Getafe's pressing s loving with them. Should be 1-1 though because Umtitti's dive got the Getafe goal VARed away

2-0 barca. they are playing well now.

La Liga have given Barca a special 15 day transfer window to sign a player, apparently due to injuries to Suarez and Dembele. There are a lot of restrictions - the player has to be a striker, and has to be currently under contract to a La Liga club. Whatever club loses a player to Barca will not be given a chance to sign a replacement.

Wait, apparently they're signing Martin Braithwaite for €10m, lol

Also, the club have been accused of hiring a troll bot army to attack prominent people that have criticized the board, including Messi, Pique, Pep, Xavi and Puyol

Has this ever happened to any other loving club in La Liga for anything other than a GK?

I mean everyone knows the Big Two get away with stuff no one else does but this is saying the quiet part loud.

Looks like Braithwaite is pretty much done, what an absolute pile of poo poo. Leganes are two points from safety and Braithwaite has scored 8, and is their top league scorer with 6.

The issue here is that the rules state the player they bring in must be already inscribed in the league, so it excludes players from other leagues or from the second division.

The second problem is money, iirc they need to get about 120 millions in player sales to balance their accounts. They tried to buy someone in december but failed miserably. They mismanaged the team something fierce and they are now paying the consequences.

TL;DR: They run out of budget and need someone cheap, which is hard because there's not many cheap, solid strikers in LaLiga right now.

The issue should be why are they even allowed to do this, not any of the technicalities. How are the other teams not up in arms about this?

Yeah La Liga should tell them to get hosed and Leganes should sue the pants off Barca if they get relegated when their leading scorer gets poached weeks after the transfer window ended
