    Tough blow for Eibar that. They played with such energy and great pressing and also created some nice moves I thought they could have got something from the game but Sevilla's class proved too strong in the end. For a small town Eibar punch well above their weight, their manager is doing a great job it looks like. Is his name St Pauli?

    Good result for Sevilla.

    No, it's Mendilibar. You're probably thinking of Sampaoli, the Sevilla manager.

    FT

    Gijon 1-4 Atleti
    Real 2-0 Espanyol
    Depor 0-1 Alaves
    Sevilla 2-0 Eibar

    Ah of course thanks, I was getting mixed up with who the commentator was referring to :43: I never thought if it as sounding like St Pauli.

    Good name, Mendileibar. He must be a decent coach. Probably not as good as Sampaoli though.

    Good result for Alaves.

    Bale made a dramatic return. Madrid will feel even more confident now.

    Thats all Enrique has relied on, rather than fix the other areas with a top player or 2 he has brought in players to make the squad bigger. Turan, Vidal, Digne, Umtiti, Denis Suarez, Gomes and Alcacer are not good enough to better them at the top levels. Shame Rakitic has went right off the boil

    Iniesta's very inconsistant the past couple of seasons, legs have gone a bit still has occasional very good games but a lot of games pass him bye now. Rakitic doesnt really suit Barca although is a good player, bit like Johansen for us too sloppy and rushed at times for the way Barca play.

    They need 2 big signings to freshen themselelves up a centre-back and creative midfielder. They haven't really signed a world class player since Neymar, been all £10-20million younger guys or squad players.

    Quite sad to see the end of the great Barca era. They are turning into Arsenal.

    They should have conceded at least once here Barca, thats about 4 good saves Ter Stegens had to do.

    1-1 Ter Stegen should possibly have saved that one but a goal was coming

    It's not even a surprise, this is not a Barca team

    Aye, goal had been coming although it was a soft goal to lose, possibly offside as well.
