Disgusting

[Chazza]

Athletico been done for that before?

[Shaggy]

Dunno but it seems obvious there is a problem in that country. I absolutely love visiting Spain but it's beyond a joke now.

This story was the back end of March

UEFA has fined Atletico Madrid 10,000 euros (£8,270) and ordered a partial stadium closure after fans racially abused Manchester City youth players in a match played last month.

Former England striker Andy Cole's son Devante, 18, was among the players representing City's elite development squad at Atletico's Estadio Cerro del Espino reserve ground on February 26.

Following an investigation into alleged incidents of racism that took place during the match, a statement published by UEFA announced the governing body had imposed a "partial stadium closure at the next UEFA Youth League home match of Club Atletico de Madrid Youth and a fine of E10,000."

Atletico had been charged with "improper conduct of the team and racist behaviour of their supporters".

If Althetico beat Malaga next game, then in the last game they will play Barca & Barca will have nothing to play for. Barca (Everton) doing Real(Liverpool) a favour?

Loving the end to La Liga this season

Barca will win the title if they beat Atleti. This happens IF Real loses one of their 4 matches.

They have a lot to play for because it goes to the last match day and Real could lose any of their games mathematically

i'm confused, i'm going back to playing Candy Crush

If RM drop points then Barca are in a pretty strong position. They'd win the H2H individually against either ATM or RM and they would therefore win a 3-way H2H(2H).

Of course if Athletico win last game of the season thats moot because Barca can't catch them. Can realistically see this going to a 3 way tie on 91 points.

[danperkins]

It's an amazing finish whatever happens.. refreshing to see another club in the mix.

Lots asking: head to head would decide in event of a tie ... AtM beat RM, FCB beat RM, At-FCB not decided yet. Three way, not decided yet

A three-way tie is no genuinely possible. In fact, I think all three teams on 91 points is now reasonably likely. (FCB would win league)

Erm, I think. I'm getting confused now. Yes, because to make it 3 x 91 points, they would have beaten AtlM. So 3-way h-to-h 3 wins, 1 draw

Sorry, that's nonsense. If RM win all their games they get to 94 points, not 91. That's more likely ... sorry. I need a lie down! RM faves?

Apologies. If it's any consolation, I'm as confused as any of you are.

Current points and [max points]. Atlético 88 [94], Barcelona 85 [91], RM 82 [94]. So, basically, Atletic have to win at Camp Nou.

But the head to head thing I explained was right! [Phew].

[ChesterDave]

He is wrong about the 3 way head to head. It is decided by virtue of Barca having won the first meeting with Athletico.

If they draw it can still be a 3 way tie on 89 but that is quite unlikely by the results RM would need to fail to get 90 points. Barca would still win that way (3wins 1 draw). If Barca beat ATM for a 3 way 91 points tie then they will take H2H with 4 wins.
RM can't win any H2h with 3 loses and 1 draw.

ATM can only win a H2H with RM.

That last game of the season is going to be epic. Barca could be in an Everton-like situation in knowing a win could let in their deadly rivals in Real!

Bale has done 4 60/70 yard cross field balls..absolute pinpoint.... world class.
