Marco Asensio Just Hit As Sweet A Strike As You’ll Ever See

Marco Asensio must be a fan of the new Marvel movie that came out in theaters this week because he channeled his inner Thor in Real Madrid’s match against Las Palmas on Sunday. Instead of a hammer, Asensio used his leg and ripped a thunderous volley from 25 yards out to score the middle goal in Los Blancos’ 3-0 victory.

Was This The Most Painful Injury Of All Time?

A lot of things can go wrong in a soccer match. Aside from the pain and suffering that accompanies losing, one’s physical well-being is constantly at risk. Injury is a part of the game, but typically it’s muscle strains, ligament tears and the occasional broken bone or concussion. Mariano Bittolo suffered an injury far more painful than anything one expects to suffer on the pitch. It may have been the most painful injury of all time.

Ronaldo’s Historically Bad Start Just Part Of Greater BBC Disappearing Act

Real Madrid’s shocking 2-1 defeat to Girona yesterday marked the fourth occasion in which Los Blancos have failed to capture all three points this season, a worrying trend that’s seen Barcelona open an eight-point gap on their fiercest rivals after only 10 matches. Real’s attack has been uncharacteristically blunt this campaign, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s return of only one goal in 540 minutes of action has garnered the most attention. 

Even Though Real Madrid Lost To Girona, Isco Was Still Pretty Darn Good

Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Girona on Sunday, but, hey, at least Isco was there. The 25-year-old scored Real Madrid's goal and generally continued the good form he has been in this season. Isco was so good Sunday Sergio Ramos kissed his boot after Isco scored.

Isco is Real Madrid's joint top scorer in La Liga right now, tied with Marco Asensio with three goals apiece after ten games. It has been a disappointing ten games for Real Madrid as a whole, as they find themselves eight points down to Barcelona in La Liga.

Real Madrid Somehow Lost To Girona

After Catalonia declared independence on Friday, everyone knew Real Madrid's away game against Girona, one of three Catalan teams in La Liga, would be interesting.

Boy, was it ever.

Yesterday, Barcelona took care of business against Athletic Bilbao. Real Madrid dropping points in this very embarradding manner puts Barca up eight points in La Liga. Barcelona have 28 points to Real Madrid's 20 through 10 games.
