Thanks to the whole team, soccer is a team game and not a one man game

yet one man receive the award.

Rinaldo can still score at 32 but most Nigerian players can't

Completely surprising.

Vintage RM.

CR7 involved in all five goals. GOAT

Asensio brilliant. Achraf, Nacho, Vallejo; nice pairing. It's a f*cking joy to watch.

No Isco, fast movement, lethal balling.
SARS should come and Carry Isco.

76' Substitution Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro Francisco Román Alarcón Suárez
75' Vazquez clips the head of Mercado as he tries an acrobatic effort in the box. Ceballos had an opportunity on the edge of the box, but he scuffed his effort before his team-mate committed the foul.
72' Zidane is looking after his senior midfielders, while the veteran forwards search for further goals.
71' Geis replaces Vazquez for the visitors.

77' Marcelo sends a deep cross to the back post, but Carole does a good job of keeping Benzema away from the ball, heading behind for a corner.
76' Isco replaces Ronaldo

88' Ceballos and Benzema try to combine inside the penalty area, but the visitors do just enough to stop both players from registering an effort at goal.
86' Isco lifts the ball over the top for Hakimi down the right channel and he collects the Spaniard's pass, only to be denied by the on-rushing Rico.
84' Asensio raids into the right inside channel and he lofts the ball back to Llorente to strike first time, but he fires his effort narrowly wide of the post.
82' Navas raids down the right for Sevilla and he cuts the ball back to Muriel on the edge of the box. However, the Colombian can only fire a tame effort straight at Keylor Navas.

If he had started, the game woulda been difficult for us.

Hmmn. Seems like Isco's not getting love from everyone.

What I learnt from today's game. Isco is our main problem. Period!!

he needs to be re-oriented

Like a comment read 'he is a fantastic player' but has he been always consistent? in being decisive and precision?


Holds ball too long, dribbles in the halfway line and not close to opposition box, slow in decision making , unsettling the balance of the team by moving all around, and delaying counter attacks.

The question is, is it his fault(immaturity) or
Zizou failure to work on his positional discipline

I don't want to see any fücking 4-4-2 diamond or isco in a free role.

Look at the Dortmund game, let's rule out the abysmal defensive display and focus on the forward plays.

No ball hogging, delays in transition or one player unbalancing the set up

just can't wait for bale to return. Let's wait and watch how celta and Valencia turns out tonight. Hope celta will give their all. We don't need anyone to derail our pursue to retain our league trophy

All of a sudden Isco is our problem!..
Can't believe what i am reading.
You guys forgot too soon.
Isco is not our problem... please stop disrespecting Isco.

Cos u guys won a sevilla team that played so badly y'all are busy criticizing isco, the same isco that was very influential to ur ucl win.


Let see what will happen when ur lucky ass comes up against barce, celta vigo and Valencia few weeks from now.

In my view our problem is mainly Zidane then on the second level Isco and to some extent Asensio.

But all in all Zidane is to blame.

Last season Bale was injured and Isco slotted in well. But the difference is that James was always around to mix things up.
James was a no nonsense direct player with a single purpose of making an impact at the opponents goal.
Isco on the other hand is a flare player ready to do 20 dribbles per game to make fans 'happy' even at the detriment of the game play of the squad.
Last season he could not do this as he was going to loose his place to James. Sadly this season Zidane is indulging this habit of his so much so he now even has a new responsibility not freely roaming the pitch and encroaching on other players section of the field.
The complaints would have even been less if he does the interference with swift purpose of helping movement forward. But no he often does 2 to 3 touches before making a pass.

Zidane also has started to indulge Asensio with this free role madness. But unlike Isco Asensio is slightly more direct with game play but still creates imbalance with interference.

Zidane should stick to our 4 3 3 or 4 4 2 structure with nor free roaming CAM

it's obvious you don't watch Madrid's matches. How can you say isco isn't our problem whereas his the one that kills our counter attack just to dribble and at some point lose the ball. Isco is our problem sir, I just hope zidane starts benching him, maybe he will learn his lessons.

There is nothing more to add, I just want the club to recall James after WC.

The Spanish fans are not helping matters at all especially the press and the fans in the stadia,it is a crime for them to boo isco when he is losing possession and delaying counter attacks.
They even booed the first substitution yesterday because it was not isco

Not much info. But I read from mirror U.K that Sergio Ramos told some Madrid players that Kepa Arrizabalaga has agreed to join Madrid in January.
Anything to say guys?

Yes especially the Bernebau fans.

Very psycho set of entitled fans.

That boos their players.

I however don't see James coming back. Not with Ceballos joining the squad.
Just a shame we are loosing out on a world renowned gem for a Spanish gem.

A good signing in my view.
Let's hope it brings out the best in Navas and himself.
