If Atletico score in the next 60 seconds then they're Champions.

[Baddar]

A goal for Atletico wins the league...

Edit: Not to be. They'll regret that.

[Starvinho]

FT. It all goes down to Atletico vs Barca next week.

And Diego Costa got injured...

[Matt]

Diego Costa injured and in tears, commentators are speculating he's going to miss the final next week

[Colly]

Certainly looks it, you don't get over those in a week.

[EddieG]

And looks like Arda is injured as well.. 2 substitutes after 20 minutes. :/

[Arjen Robben]

Is it likely to only be as short term as missing the Champions League final? Or is it likely to hinder his World Cup chances too?

[EddieG]

Yup, Arda off.

And he walked off himself, he should be ok for the WC.

I think tears mostly because it's probably his last game for Atletico.

EDIT: Arda Turan also crying as he came off the pitch.

Terrible luck for Atletico here early with the injuries.

[EddieG]

HOOOOOOOOOOLY crap Alexis

[Arjen Robben]

What a fucking hit that is.

[gunnar hendershow]

Brilliant goal and all but sigh...

[Lineker]

Booooo.

[Arjen Robben]

It's been well hard to decide who I'd like to win La Liga this season. Like they're three pretty hateable teams, but Barca seem kind of the least hateable to me. Diego Costa a bit of a twat, and then it kind of sealed who I want to win the title a few weeks ago when I saw Atletico fans doing the monkey thing at Diop from Levante.

[Baddar]

Godin levels.

[Colly]

Yay!

[Arjen Robben]

Messi has been so poor, he's actually been the reason quite a few of their attacks have broken down.

[Szumi]

Finish this out Atleti!

Yeah none of them are particularly nice. I keep finding myself wanting to cheer for Atletico because they are relative underdogs, BT them I remember they take money from the Azerbaijani government.
