Barca claim first blood in La Liga

After a somehwhat torrid pre-season and shaky beginning to FIFA 14, Barcelona have claimed bragging rights on their fast start to the new La Liga campaign in Spain.

Despite starting the year off in almost unbeatable fashion, Real Madrid find themselves slightly off the pace in the league, largely due to their only losses this year, and both against their main rivals, Barcelona and Athleico Madrid.

JM would be considerably disappointed with their current place on the ladder, after looking "invincible" for 14 games since the arrival of FIFA 14.

"I am not happy with the two losses. We had opportunities to beat Barcelona, and perhaps a draw would have been a fair result - but we were not good enough on the day." JM spoke to press yesterday.
"And Athletico took their one chance against us and we didn't take ours - thats football."

"But I cannot complain - 14 matches of this quality and to not lose is remarkable at this level - so I suppose the losses were inevitable in some ways."

Fans of Real Madrid cannot help but feel angry by the decision of EA and La Liga to restart the league after technology updates recently - with Real Madrid sitting top of the table at the time - and rivals Barceloan languishing in 7th place.

"This was a decision we all agreed to at the end of the day - so we cannot complain." JM said of the decision.
"Obviously it has worked out to Barcelona's advantage - I'm sure everyone would like a restart when seasons do not go well from the start - so it has worked out very well for them."
"Its a long season and it will level out and we know that."

JM not entirely happy with the new season start

Champions League action continues tonight when both Barcelona and Real Madrid have the chance to cement their places on top of their groups after both with unbeaten starts to the tournament.
