That 'nobody wanted the title' is of course minimum and nonsense.

Did Mr.lionel knew that Real Madrid had more injures than Valencia, A.Madrid and Sevilla this season? That's right.....they missed Robben, Pepe, Van Nistelrooy, Sneijder, Metzelder, for months while Robinho were injured in February and never quite 100 % after that. Diarra were also missing in African Cup and the CL match against Roma....Madrid missed Van Nistelrooy, Robben, Ramos, Sneijder, Metzelder while Pepe-Robinho had rejoined after over a month with injures. They were around 60 %.

The worst period in Madrids season were in that periode against Roma, and if both teams had faced their best lineup, I'm quite sure Madrid had won at Bernabeu and went wider. Barcelona got Schalke and Celtic - the two weakest teams in the league.

Valencia made wrong decisions? They were totally shit under Floro and lost twice against Rosenborg. Sevilla had not the same stability and A.Madrid had never a team that could challenge Real Madrid, even they had many new names.

Football is about creating continuity and a team that want to win together. Its bullshit to say that "Barcelona won the league in 2006, because Real Madrid had so many injures and the other teams aswell....and noone wanted the league title"

The fact is that Barca got 67 points, Villarreal 77 and A.Madrid 64.... but Real Madrid breaked all records this season with a 85 points win and showed a great stability and effort through the season, even with several injure problems on the same level as Barcelona.
