So they say Joachim Low on Madrid's shortlist to replace Mourinho.

Raul · « **Reply #241 on:** February 12, 2012, 05:26:49 PM »

Is Madrid's 10 point lead unassailable? According to La Liga history it is... so those Barca fans who want to concede, please feel free to do so here...

Also, not only did that phenomenal goal by Cr7 bring up his hattrick, but it also brought Madrid's tally in all competitions to 4000... What a way to etch your name into Madrid history... Well deserved Cristiano...

Just read Ronaldo has scored 119 goals out of 122 matches for Madrid, compared to 118 out of 292 matches for ManU. That's incredible.

Toppa I don't mean any disrespect just asking a question, to a passionate supporter of the League.

Does it mean that it is easier to score goals in La Liga vs Premier?

IMHO the toughest league to score goals in remains Italy, second France. Now I am not saying the
Leaues are better, just their approach to the game. Tactical fouls are a Premium in Italy and France, while in general play is far more cautious.

Well...I guess if a great many other strikers had a similar goal-scoring rate...but perhaps it's not a matter of it being 'easier' to score goals but just a reflection of the different footballing philosophies or cultures. Spain is very driven by attacking football so perhaps that accounts for his astonishing strike-rate.

This reminds me of what Sid Lowe said about the fact that Madrid has been granted 10 penalties this season. He said it probably wasn't a matter for refs favouring them but more likely a reflection of their attack-minded approach (minus the Barca matches).

I hope I made sense.

remember Ronaldo first 2 seasons at UTD..not much goals..

Fergie made a bet with him to score 20 the next season or something like that... fergie was pushing him to become a scoring winger...then it all bust loose after that...my take

I agree with you there. I wonder if Cristiano had gone to Levante, Valencia, ATletico, would he score all those goals.

Ronaldo is by and large a more developed and polished player now, than when he was at Man U. Also as Big Mag said, at the beginning of his career at Man U, he wasn't the goal-scoring type of player that he was towards the end of his Man U career (and as he is at Madrid)....

I don't know if scoring in Spain is easier on average than in England. I think individual tallies in general at the end of the season are comparable between the two leagues. With the recent dominance of Madrid and Barca in Spain though, being the go-to goal scorer on any one of those teams is more of a blessing than it used to be... So maybe scoring at Barca or Madrid is easier than scoring in England (and in the rest of Spain)

Recent!!!! Madrid and Barca have dominated the Spanish forever. Real won it 31 times. Barca 21. And the rest divided up for the other teams.

It's more of an uncontested two-horse race in the past couple seasons than it's been in a while... That's what I'm talking about. No question that they are historically the two dominant teams in the league.

Madrid running on all cylinders and look a very well oiled machine. So much power, pace and technique it eh funny. With deMaria back they have an added dimension of penetration & goal scoring on both wings. Kaka is beginning to show signs of recovery and they have no injuries to talk about. Dam scary

Madrid pretty steady, consistent and very organized...Defensively more compact than I've seen in a long long time, and plenty pace in the attack. We will probably never get to the level at which Barca played last night, but it doh matter at this point because the consistency this season is paying off...
