let's wait and see who zizou picks. CR7-isco-bale or CR7-isco-benzema. I didn't mention the BBC course I know they won't start together.
It's going to be Bale and Isco.

Benzema will be on the bench

Forget fake or true fans.. Salah is class. Bale no reach.
let's say the truth.
My comment on fake fans has more to do with conversations here being about REAL stuffs and not silly arguments about inconsequential things like ALWAYS comparing our players to other clubs players. Except if it comes to awards and recognitions.

Bale is a Real Madrid player and so far is serving us well. Degrading him because of a Salah that is a Liverpool fan (not even a rival fan).

Yes is not a reasonable debate because Salah is miles ahead of Bale.
Bale, a very inconsistent player. I get am before no be property.
This is Salah's moment. Right now, Bale is not close to his level.

We are not scared jare.

We are just being careful and not wanting to be boastful.

All things being equal. If both teams bring their A-game to 26th its pretty certain who will win on the night.

Position for position we trump them hands down except for 9 role. Even at that Benzema is only not a push over compared to Fiminho

That's how one was saying the other day that Bale doesn't track back.

Whether they only watch highlights I don't know.

They'd just choose the players they want to extol and the ones they want to pummel. Performance be damned.

Saying we aren't giving Salah credit, like anyone said he hasn't done well this season. Or maybe he missed the several posts where we were calling on Marcelo to up his game defensively on the 26th because of Salah's threat.

-Lord
For weeks we have been talking about Marcelo's defensive abilities and disabilities.

Now someone quoted how Salah exploited it.

Same person (if I recall well) that abused us for complaining about Marcelo's defensive lapses suddenly is now praising the same commenter that he is the only reasonable Madridista.

We wanted Marcelo to up his defence. Na yab he yab us.
Now some one showed his defensive lapses. Na praise he praise the person.

I am not sure he knows what he wants sef

true. comparing salah to bale isn't a reasonable debate. Bale at his prime was a bad-a$$ winger. Even when he was a LB, he was a danger to the opposition. His glass like structure (always injured) denied him to show his full potentials.

Bale has every a player should have, coupled with the fact he tracks back well.
We only need to see bale's performance against Celts especially the second goal to see how deadly he can be

these are games where i try to humble about our approach,but if bayern who were so much better than us in both games couldnt do, i dont see how liverpool who are not even as good as bayern can do it,i think casemero should just stick to firmihno,he is their talisman,kross should just cool the game down to a slow pace like roma did in the second game,i expect a legendary trashing,either us getting humbled or them getting destroyed.
Upsets occur like Roma vs Barca.
So as long as we don't become complacent we should win.

we tend to focus more on this salah guy and forget the man who conducts their attack 'Fermino'. Without him, salah and mańe don't function really well.
With that said,
Liverpool should fear us more. Our defence is way better, our keeper is of an elite level.
*our midfield is out of this world, then we have bale along side the G. O. A. T.


Non of this Liverpool players can make it into the Real Madrid starting 11.


All I know is that Madrid will lift the trophy on the 26th.
We have been more concerned and rightly so of Marcelo vs Salah.

Non one has been asking how the right back of Liverpool will handle attack from Marcelo - Ronaldo/Isco/Bale/Asensio.

Hence Liverpool also needs to provide enough cover n that flank too else Marcelo will finish the young lad..


But it is share disrespectful to say none of the Liverpool 11 will make it into Real Madrid first eleven.

Salah is being chased. Ask why
Ferminho as at today is better than Benzema.

The others I cant talk much about as I don't watch much of EPL

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 sad

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.

Bale has been in superb form in the last few league games. I wonder what Zidane's XI for the UCL will be. Would he bench Benz and opt for this same line up or bench Isco and play the BBC?
It will Ronaldo Bale upfront and the Isco diamond in the middle with same back four.

My only fear is Isco doing a free role again with no specific spot to hold down. This always distorts the defensive structure

LordAdam:
Truth be told Luca wasn't that bad. Both goals could have gone either way. Casilla would certainly have conceded both goals anyway.

We were the better side for the first 60 minutes. The last half an hour was unfortunate. Thankfully there were no injuries.

I'd be okay with any lineup at Kiev. I'm pretty sure Zidane had already made up his mind going into this game. Only two spots are up for grabs and four players are in contention--Isco, Bale, Lucas, and Benzema. Any of the four could play and there would be good reasons to back the choice.

Let's just hope Zidane's choice is the right choice.

-Lord
Based on last season and 2 seasons ago, last nights lineup is what will play except for Luca Zidane.

The only down side is for the defence not to short circuit like last night.
The major concern (Marcelo) forgot his lines and kept Castillejo onside for the equaliser.

Hopefully he should not do same for Salah. A faster and deadlier striker for that matter.

Like I said earlier our defence has been sinusoidal all season so let's hope the strikers are far more sharp and accurate on the 26th.

The best thing barca fans do is to blame other players for the failings of other players.

As for Semedo what has he done specially yo deserve a call up?

Looks like Liverpool are preparing a suprise package.


Liverpool's Marbella training sessions before Champions League final are top secret

Real Madrid may have one more league match to play before the Champions League final, but Liverpool have already finished their Premier League season and are currently training in Marbella.



The English club are being very secretive and aren't letting anyone see their tactical plans.

In fact, those journalists who have passed nearby couldn't even tell which players were which, given that they've been kept so far away from the action.

The tarpaulin walls of the Marbella Football Centre have been raised a little higher than usual, while the nearby buildings are controlled by the club too, presumably with some fees having been paid out.

"Sorry, but you can't pass here," a security guard even said as some journalists tried to enter a nearby property.

Andres Roldan, the director of the centre, had a similar message.

"We've received instructions from Liverpool not to allow access to anybody," he explained.

"They want total privacy."

What is known is that the players travelled from their hotel to the training ground on bicycles, while it's also known that Emre Can and James Milner are still working to return from their injuries, with the latter still hopeful of facing Los Blancos.

The players had a free afternoon on Thursday and spent time with their families, before they'll return to work on Friday.
Good for them.

In warfare you focus more on your own fire power and not so much attention on the enemy arsenal.

Even if you liquidate the enemy attack but is unable to cause them damage it ends as a draw.

So I hope our attack has the best day come 26th. Our defence has not been reliable at any time this season by the way.

Diego Simeone Atletico Madrid Managerial Career thus far.

I Laliga Title
2 Europa League Titles
1 Copa Del rey
I Spanish Super Cup
1 UEFA Super Cup Title
2 UEFA Champions League Final Appearances in 3 years.

If na Pep or Mourinho na we no go hear word. As a matter of fact he has eliminated both managers in the UCL Knock out stages in his time with Atletico Madrid.

Diego Simeone, you have earned my respect. You deserve all the accolades in the World.
Never liked the guy.
He and Enrique are the coaches I dislike the most

Karma? maybe.

But would still have preferred he stayed on.
To at least give a fighting chance to Marseille for the trophy.

But its kinda true if you are not a Real Madrid fan.

It's natural that a neutral fan would prefer the underdog to win. Liverpool being the underdog here.

But the thing about championship is that it is never forever. A new champion will emerge.
And as long as the other teams have a level playing field no one team will be winning endlessly.

Levante had nothing to loose yesterday.
Even if they were beaten it does not affect them positively or negatively.

So they played with calmness.

Maybe if Messi was there it won't be 5-4 but surely those lads came determined to play without any fear.

If Messi played they will still play without fear too.

The difference yesterday was them being highly clinical on front of goal

LordAdam:
Levante took virtually all their chances.

They were in form and their efficiency was unprecedented.

Messi wouldn't have stopped them from taking their chances because he is a defensive liability.

Coutinho wasn't sleeping, you guys were lucky the blocks led to on-target deflections. Even his first goal was from a poor clearance.

You guys are talking as if teams haven't outplayed you guys this season with Messi on the pitch. The difference is that while other teams were inefficient in front of goal, Levante were efficient. Thanks to them being in form... and Mina.

-Lord
The most inefficient culprits being Sevilla and Real Madrid.
