technically Atletico were the “home” team, the game was played in Romania because of the current travel restrictions in Spain due to covid

Real and Barca have both £#%&!ed themselves (at the same time) trying to chase the oil money clubs. Messi's ridiculous contract and Neymar's departure are a direct consequence of rampant wage inflation and the leverage all this new money afford the top player.

Perfect timing for Chelsea (and the Tuchel bandwagon) that Atletico have hit poor form recently. I should know as I've backed them every time when they haven't won, mostly against La Liga fodder too.

I don't care much for the spanish football, but I would like to think that there are other ways to deal with the oil clubs other than spending truck load of money on players. Hasn't Real been bailed out by Spanish goverment countelss times ? So maybe they should have asked the Spanish goverment for help in this situation. Just by putting pressure on the situation to be delt with on international level, since whats happening within those oil money clubs goes fair behind football.
