Here are some of my observations from last weekend’s La Liga matches:
Chelsea shouldn’t have a lot to fear in the Champions League with Valencia although the Blues still shouldn’t take the Spanish side lightly. Against Racing Santander, Valencia looked pretty average. And I didn’t think much of the atmosphere at the Mestalla stadium, the fifth […]
