[Neil@Fiorentina]

Barcelona 1-1 Fiorentina

The top two early season pace setters faced off in what turned out to be a bit of a disappointment for the fans, as both teams started cautiously.
Fiorentina made the early moves, with a disallowed goal from Martinez, but he made amends by firing the away side ahead after 25 minutes.
The away side tried to defend the lead, but it was just too long and too far to manage it, as Barcelona got the late equaliser from Lovren with only 6 minutes to go.
Who knows what might have happened if Fiorentina hadn't clammed up, but the stats were a little in Barca's favour as it was. gg Mati man

So, Fiorentina got an away point from a rival, not too bad, but others in the hunt mostly won, so it tightens up at the top.
The difficult run continues with a tricky match against Atletico Madrid next.

Sorry about the sheet error JB.

Real 3-0 Marseille

Convincing and professional victory against Marseille who have started the season well. Expected the C so with home advantage and the stronger squad hoped even with the unpredictability of E it would still see us through. Thankfully it did and we took a deserved three points. A Nico Williams brace and Mbappe strike seeing us just about keep tabs with the teams highest in the league.

[Marshy@Atletico]

Atletico Madrid 2 Sevilla 2

Another poor league result for Atletico who won the shot count 18-11 but again this did not manifest into three points.
Both ends of the pitch rarely work in tandem for Atletico. When they finally score the keeper struggles and then they cant score the keeper plays well.

Manager Simon Marsh commented "We are been cut off at present from the top-8. At the moment its important we stay as best of the rest and whilist league form hopefully picks up. We led twice in that game and were 1 minutes away from having TA for the rest of the game at 2-1. Just head scratching stuff.

To try and change the clubs fortunes £30m was spent this week Pina and Palcios from Barcelona with DiMarco and Osimhen leaving the club in part exchange. Hopefully this is the boost needed to inject something into this lifeless campaign.
