** European League Thread (Spain/Germany/France etc) **

That's awful from the ref. It's one thing to give a player a yellow if you think he's deliberately tripped you, it's another thing entirely to kick out. I'd hope that Ligue 1 suspend or sack him.

Barca are now the only unbeaten team in the top five European leagues, they look really impressive and should improve further once Coutinho settles in. What's impressive is that Valverde seems to have brought really good balance to the squad. Paulinho is looking like a great signing for a small fee, Coutinho will add further quality once he settles in and they could yet get Griezmann. It's a frightening prospect for Europe's big teams. Also, I don't like to say I told you so but I said three or four years ago that Messi would have the better career longevity and that Ronaldo's physicality would take its toll on him, and it looks like that is starting to happen.

Well he cost 36m and is 29 years old, he seems to be getting some important goals though.

I think its more down to the other teams being worse than ever rather than Barca being that good tbh.

You forgot Dembele, who has been injured so like another new signing.
 
Yeah you're right about Dembele coming back in as well, once he gets a run of games he could be a really exciting player. I guess we'll see how good Barca are if they come up against someone like City, PSG, etc in the Champions League, but personally I think this Barca side is better than the Luis Enrique managed team that contained Neymar. Maybe the front three isn't quite as good, but with Paulinho and soon Coutinho they have much better balance as a team imo.
 
Delicious goal from Coutinho for Barca, smashes it right in the corner. Reminiscent of the goals he scored for Liverpool.
 
Just been announced fiorentina captain passed away couple hours before their game. Age of 31 is crazy.

RIP Astori
 
I hope no one else just wasted 90 minutes of their life watching the absolute dross that was Inter Milan Vs Napoli.
