Aleix Vidal played for both clubs, yet is counted for Madrid?

10 second wiki search wrote:Filipe Luís was born in Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina. Coming from Figueirense as an attacking midfielder,[3] he had his first taste of football in Europe with Ajax in 2004, spending one full season there. Despite never playing a first-team match for Ajax, he credits the Dutch club for helping him learn tactical aspects of the game, as well as aiding his development by allowing him to train with players such as Rafael van der Vaart and Wesley Sneijder.[4]
After leaving Ajax, Filipe Luís was registered under Rentistas, an Uruguayan club that had a partnership with his agent Juan Figer.[5] In August 2005, Filipe Luís was signed by Real Madrid on a loan contract. He would spend most of the season, however, with its B team in the Segunda División. The move was not made permanent after high financial requests from the Uruguayan club.[

but that list puts him as a youth product?
what a joke and the vidal thing

Simeone has reduced his contract length from 2020 to 2018. Thoughts? I doubt he has an offer for 2 years from now unless it's to take over the Arg NT after the WC? But he's still too young to be doing no work for 4 years

He'll go to Inter.

Inter

Does that mean De Boer until then? LUCAS

Inter.

Reduced his contract? Is that even possible? And why would Atletico agree to that?

Just in time to take over at Arsenal

Probably as a sign of respect for the man that gave them the most successful period in the history of their club ?

I imagine he may have inserted it as a clause in his contract. Simeone being Simeone, Atletico probably bit off his hand to get him to sign a new deal even if it meant he could decide to reduce if he wanted.

If you want pure entertainment on and off the pitch. LL is the league to watch. Always some drama

This Betis v Granada game has turned crazy. Players getting red carded left and right and GK who gives away a penalty then saves it

Loooool Granada and Betis have had like 5 1v1 each in extra time alone. The shots have been so poor

Man there is absolutely no discipline in this game

Heard Musonda was amazing Hala. Can you confirm?

Musonda is one of those guys that can power past players with the ball at his feet then leave alot to be desired with atrocious passing. He killed a few counters with bad passes but was also one of the main architects in Betis' attacking threat towards the end. It probably helped that discipline went out the window after the Granada red card. Still he looks talented and deserves to start

Messi raping Leganes today on counter.

Umtiti.

wow

Messi.

0-3 HT

Leganes actually controlled the game, but Messi.

Peoples champ with a 9.4 in the first half

MSN scoring

Umtiti defending an open net...Puyol defo shed a tear

Seriously in every game Umititi has been playing this season you have seen Barca's next Puyol.

Leganes I think are actually playing very well pressing us and giving us real problems, also one or chance good chances. Lucky we are coping at the back. Umtiti is making me really feel much better with our defense, with Mascherano still worrying so often, he just gets beaten too easily at times. Umtiti is a proper defender, a strong presence, and he basically prevented a goal for us with that block! While Pique was still miles away as often u get with Pique....

Not sure about the 343, is it to counter Leganes or experimenting? Rafinha looking not too comfortable at the right.

I think Rakatic is so important to us nowadays hes playing the CM role and is doing very well, the guy can really be physical and battle for the ball, something he need obviously when Busuqets doesnt play.

Front three MSN proving they are the best again, just unbelievable, 3-0 against a team pressing us so well and playing good against us, couldnt be more happy. Just hope we defend better still and keep a clean sheet.

Leganes leading shots 10-5.
