Yea...La Liga is in fine shape David Villa, just fine.

Financially, some La Liga clubs are in trouble.

Valencia had to give up both David Villa and David Silva fix their money problems.

RCD Mallorca had to give up their UEFA Europa League spot due to their financial problems.

Even both El Clasico rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid have their limits.

Check out this article:

[BroadwayBomber55]

But seriously PDTDYS, every European League, whether it's the EPL, Spanish La Liga, or Italian Serie A has financial problems.

The main causes: stupidity from owners and front office people who made bad deals and the pressure to maintain success.

Well, Ranger fans including NyQuil is happy and Celtic fans including Yankees13 are steaming.

Celtic continues their woeful play.

[BroadwayBomber55]

However, janttje is not happy with Ajax Amsterdam.

Sure, Ajax captain Luis Suarez scored a goal, but also picked up a yellow.

And Ajax allowed an away goal to Greek side PAOK Salonika. Ajax needs to get a high-scoring draw or a win to advance to the play-off round of the UEFA Champions League.

Otherwise, they have to settle for another play-off round in the UEFA Europa League.

kan_t and Lou will be happy with Juventus's 1st leg performance.

Amauri was a big disappointment during Italian Serie A play for the Bianconeri, but just like he did against Ajax Amsterdam in the Round of 32, he came up big with a brace.

Jamie, Alex and b_joseph will also be happy about Liverpool's performance scoring two away goals before heading back to Anfield.

David Ngog had a brace. I think Roy Hodgson will have a tough decision to make between N'Gog and Ryan Babel on who should be the striking partner for "El Nino" Fernando Torres, if the Spaniard comes back to Anfield.
