Comments on: The Roller-Coaster Ride Of La Liga’s Title Race http://soccerlens.com/la-liga-title-race-07-08/6243/ Football News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:36:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Subhankar Mondal http://soccerlens.com/la-liga-title-race-07-08/6243/#comment-81945 Subhankar Mondal Tue, 04 Mar 2008 03:21:41 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/la-liga-title-race-07-08/6243/#comment-81945 Ahmed, I am not sure in what tone you said when you remarked about the similarities. But I would like to point out that the Guardian article came AFTER I had submitted the article. Moreover, you know as well as I do that I had written the original piece well last weekend and only updated the piece after this weekend's results. Well, I made this post just to ensure that no one gets the wring notion about me. You know, people might well think that I am a copycat or something. Cheers!

Because Robinho and Kun played starring roles but Messi was limited to a cameo, because while Messi outshone Aguero when Atlético visited the Camp Nou , this time Kun outshone Messi. And Henry. And Eto'o. And Ronaldinho.</em> <a href="http://soccerlens.com/la-liga-title-race-07-08/6243/" rel="nofollow">Subhankar</a>: <em>Because after Week 25 reigning La Liga champions Real Madrid had their lead over second placed Barcelona slimmed down to just 2 points.

Because Bernd Schuster's not-so-appealing side had then lost 6 games in their last 10 matches in all competitions. Because in the past one month while Barca had been climbing the ladder with a consistent pace, Real had been gleefully performing the parachute-jump.</em> Spot the similarities? :) I didn’t realise that Subhankar was so inspired by the Guardian:

In recent past, no team has won league championship more than twice (Inter may break that this season). It is sooo exciting :D It is obvious that any domination will come to an end.

Can you explain what you mean by this? The league is by no means over. It will be interesting to see, out of the top two teams, whether the one that progresses furthers in the Champions League struggles to keep their competitive edge in the Spanish competition. “pores wide open”?
