Miremoses1:
2 finals in 8 days.

Goodluck to the Real Madrid basketball team as the battle in the finals tonight.

#halamadrid

...and they win the Euro league for the 10th! time. Congrats to them.

The Argentine's achievements mean he has now won five Pichichi's to Ronaldo's three, while he is also set to overtake Ronaldo's tally of four Golden Shoes with his most recent victory.

Miremoses1:
lol. I know what you are hitting at but I won't fall prey.

All I'm saying is that Marcelo needs to up his game defensively.

If we complain of the defensive lapses now we will be branded bad fans for saying so.

Let's hope for a solid defensive display on 26th.

Liverpool vs R Madrid UCL final.
Do you guys think there will be a penalty? Not penalty shoot out

Our WC squad is out. Morata misses out.

If only he stayed back in Real madrid he would likely have made the squad.

Simply because he would have been the defacto replacement/substitutions for Benzema in all matches.

What he went chasing after in London was lost in transit.

Patience at times pays

That's true. Maybe if he was patient and remained at Madrid, he could have been selected. I don't doubt his quality. Rather I feel the system at Chelsea does not just suit him.


But I'm happy with the squad tho, no real surprises apart from Nacho Monreal.

conte is a real mechanic coach with the whole 3-5-2 shot, he can't play target man under conte,just imagine Jesus or firmino playing under this Chelsea systems

congrats to them to. If we win the champions league on the 26th. It will be the first time the basketball team and the football team win the league together.

seems all the real Madrid players from Spain made the list.

I thought both won their respective titles in '14?

Strange that golden era for Real Madrid never translated to golden era for Spain National team, rather it coincided with her decline, yet Madrid has 6 players in the national team. When Barcelona were thriving between 2008 and 2012, Spanish National team soared, winning all on their paths. However, when the likes of Nacho, Vasquez, Asensio are now the people to be called for world cup, then it shows there is nobody else left to call. I see Spain having another embarrassing world cup like they did in Brazil. There's no more golden era Barcelona to save their sorry assss.

Krasid:

Nope in 2014, the Real Madrid football team won the champions league but the basketball side lost to Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Miremoses1:

Yes. Seems so.

Some coaches self.... Icardi didn't get call up. Sergio Roberto did get call up.
Icadi own surprise me walahi! Seria A top scorer!
Jorge Sampaoli, how did fat Higuain have a better season than Icardi?

When the desire is not available, the available becomes the desire.

If those dwarf wingers were around during that era, they wouldn't have been considered an option tho

Ceballos
Vallejo
Mayoral

Didn't make it

What nonsense is this?

What coincided with decline? only 2 real Madrid players were in Euro 2016 squad for Spain. This is the first time they're giving good chance to Madrid players since the end of the golden generation and we'd see how that pans out

sorry, I forgot to say the A team. Ceballos, Vallejo and mayoral are B team.

What a laugh! What model do you really want to export to the national team side? Cross-and-nod ? Barca exported their famed tiki-taka to the national side and it won them bucket-load of trophies and accolades. Agree with me that this particular Madrid side, though they are winning, there is nothing special about them. They are not going to define an era. Nobody will say, ' oh, they're playing like Real Madrid' but it is normal to hear teams being compared to the legendary Barcelona side of 2008-2012. They defined an era and became a reference point to how football should be played.

we play all kinds of football styles. only someone who doesn't watch us would assume all we do is cross and nod, we only cross and nod when the team is defending deep in numbers (a tactic that your Barca golden generation always has no answer to, See: Inter semi finals 2010)

Bullshit! being known for a style doesn't mean you're the originator of the style, even tiki taka was played by Madrid before Barcelona adopted it late last decade. educate yourself. You're the one exposing your ignorance

Yes, you're right nobody would look at a team playing and say they're playing "Madrid style" that's because we aren't defined by a particular tactic but play all kinds of tactic, from slick passing to midfield domination to wing play to cross and nod to counterattack to defensive play to control to outside shots to long balls to ultraattacking and many other tactics also with all kinds of formation and players that are good at multiple roles. since we aren't playing just one style, this era we're dominating won't be remembered for our playstyle but our winning mentality, ability to adapt to the opponent's tactic, ruthlessly punishing opponent's mistakes and shifting between all kinds of tactics in a single game. we can spring surprise on any team and aren't really predictable unlike that Barca time which all a team needed to do was get a goal then park the bus and Barca becomes very useless as all they knew how to do is keep passing the ball around and hope the opponent somehow makes a mistake or ref favours them with wrong calls. Infact it was the lack of a "Plan B" that prevented Barca's golden generation from winning even more trophies while this Madrid has plan A to about K or even more

just a few days more

Hope this will not happen on Saturday

femiti:

Laughing at your ignorance, you must think tiki taka originated with Johann Cruff and started to exist under Guardiola, right? We've played it long before Johann modernised it and Pep ran riot with it
