Any of the rumored names except Lewandowski.






Maybe you didn't see all the runs Bale made with no one passing to him like it was a conspiracy. Especially that Asensio opening to him in acres of space before the Suarez foul on Varane/Messi goal. One good pass and he scores a beauty.

Benzema is now a playmaker. He has lost most of his striker's instincts. Unfortunately, we need goals, and he isn't scoring as many as he should. I like his style of play but he should be our second highest goal scorer. If Ronnie isn't on the pitch, he should be our most dangerous player upfront, but that isn't the case.



Let's stop making excuses for Marcelo. We almost crashed out of the UCL twice because of him running out of position. It happened again today. At what point do we start making him take responsibility for these gaffes.

The main issue is not even him running out of position, that's to be expected from him going forward. It is his shabby recovery that irks me. Between himself and Kroos, I don't know who is slower/faster.

And he gets help defensively. Ramos often tries to cover for him and Kroos/Asensio often help him defensively. It's gotten to a point where we know we'd be defo be punished (or close) from his wing in every single game. Whether it's against Bayern or Malaga.

-Lord

I was mad that all the attack in the first half was just through the left flank.

They were all blind at seeing Bale running behind Alba

How do you blame him when no one passed to him. I feel like they are conspiring to make Asensio the lead player something he couldn't pull of yesternight.

Benzema can't be a striker anymore. That bus has moved on.


Marcelo was terribly careless yesterday he left so.much space at the back forgetting he had defensive duties. If he does this against Salah on 26th let's just kiss the UCL byebye. He was not tracking the attackers well at all. And he is slow when running backwards as if his hair is pulling him.back

monerozi5590:
Apart from the goal Bale scored, he was totally useless.

Can't control ball. Can't give precise pass.

Bale should be sold..Benzema has really improved.

Perez get me Mbappe.

Useless?

You obviously was not observant of what was happening on the pitch.

Bale helped Nacho a lot defensively keeping Alba at bay.

When Vasquez came on he had more freedom to attack as he became more central positioned.

Isiterere:

It is a penalty call, but you and I know that Bale supposed get Red before Roberto. The table turn today, deal with it.

UEFAlona cheats

Unlimited22:
Later some people with too much data and too little sense will be shouting uefadrid. Barcelona will never stop Being themselves.
We all admire good football, but if you have to cheat to win then I don't know what to say about you.

Alba fouled Marcelo in the 18 yard box no penalty called.

Dippsset will start running his mouth about one silly Laliga president like Pique

Asensio is not playing well

Unlimited22:
With ten men. You guys won't hear the end of this.

Not with the Suarez foul that was not called

tesppidd:
out of point

you cant cover up for all your scandals with just one sentence.

real Madrid s robberies are not mutually exclusive

Hope you were watching when Suarez fouled Varane before the goal.

One is a legit red card.
One is a legit foul

Just as I was typing.

Boom Messi scores

We playing like we do not know what to do with the ball.

Should Barca score now maybe their brain will come.up

Wait as dippsset accuses the President of laliga for being responsible for the incident

We are not using the right wing for any attack.

Bale so isolated

Marcelo is leaving too much space behind him

How nice it will be for us to win today and win on the 26th.

The way Madridistas are talking I hope complacency doesn't set in for the players.

Over confidence kills dreams always

true. Buh 90% of their stories are legit.

I prefer AS to Marca.

Marca is too biased and at times lies

This thread like others existed and died prematurely.

Let's see how long this one will last

Miremoses1:
Meanwhile on Marca's front page.

Neymar reveals 'he wants to play along side ronaldo'.

Wishful thinking from Marca.

He will remain a PSG player next season still.

He will want to prove his success at PSG

haymekus:
So?


Why are u disturbing us?

Soldier

tesppidd:
This man

Na guilty conscience just dey do you

Facts are facts.

We are not being favored with all evidences before your eyes

Nihilstjnr:
Ball to hand is not a penalty

you guys need to give it up. it's over.

The next stage is acceptance...

acceptance of the fact that you are the new Celtic.

You have no joy shaaaaa

You wantto finish egbon Dayo

Liverpool already put as the Champion yet some people think and strongly believed UEFA is backing Real Madrid

UEFA already awarding the trophy to Liverpool yet some people say UEFA is favoring Real Madrid

Makemuna see UEFA ooooo.

Later some people will say UEFA dey favor us.

Miremoses1:
I think I'm in support of resting our key players. Winning this UCL is my main objective. I don't just care about the remaining la liga fixtures.

Even Barka winning the league unbeaten?

Mcleo007:
You missed the first part of the red card. Don't tell me you are a Chelsea fan in disguise and only took to support Refdrid whence Moanrhino moved there... I consider you the only Madrid supporter of worth on Nairaland, no fall my hand bro.

There were serious of wrong calls in that game, but the biggest was the red card which of course defined the match. The other calls for Chelshit came afterwards. It takes a team with wits to play such a highly tensed game and come out tops. We bossed the game from start to finish despite playing over half an hour with a man down (wrongly dismissed). If any team was robbed on the night, it definitely was Barca. We came to win the game and duly deserved to progress after securing the away goal.

Marcelo's was a clear hand ball that all three officials saw but chose to look away.

Talking of Chelsea is to to show the different attitudes.

Barca fans (just as you are still doing) justify the Overbo wrong calls all on the basis of the wrong red card given to Abidal.
\
Real Madrid fans on the other hand admits it was a hand ball that we were LUCKY not to be penalised for.

Mcleo007:
Even my fiancee who does not know shiitt about football knows Tapnaldo's masterclass or near-ok game performance comes from scoring tap ins and penalties. When that is done, his PR agents spread across the world would sing his praises to the high heavens. And another Balon possibility comes on the dice for him. You can not deny you dont know this, your allegiance to Refdrid aside.

Bayern gave a good account of themselves and kept him quiet over both legs, which might explain why he bottled the half chances he got.

You have finally transfered your lack of indepth knowlegde of footbal to your fiancee.

I am sad for her sha

jonsnow92:
No allow sopona fire you there o

Awesome01:
Hahaaa? Jonsnow, take it easy with Cable o. He may be referring to Messi and not Valverde.

Na Ev nah.. he won 2 major cups out of 3. that is 70% which in WAEC is A3 i.e. Distinction.

no matter how much noise y'all make he will be here next season. If he then achieves unbeaten in laliga. that seals it completely

Real Madrid consider squad rotation in Clasico before Champions League final (ABC)


Real Madrid are seriously considering the possibility of playing the Clasico at the Camp Nou with a team full of second string players to avoid the possibility of injuries before the Champions League final with Liverpool.


The newspaper ABC revealed that a discussion took place between Zidane and the heavyweights of the Madrid dressing room to ask if the players needed to rest against Barcelona.

Zidane and his coaching staff are in favour of not wearing out the spine of the team, but they wanted to share their concerns with the players. The idea is to field a starting 11 filled with second string players, although it is possible that Cristiano Ronaldo will play.

Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos always want to play the big games and it seems almost impossible that they would contemplate sitting out such an important game.

They believe it's a top level game and they should play in order to beat the eternal rival.

These days, the two footballers are discussing the idea with Zidane and no-one will know what the French coach will decide until the squad list is announced on the morning of the game on Sunday.

If Zidane decides to rotate his squad it's almost certain he will rest the players with physial problems such as Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Marcelo, Marco Asensio, Raphael Varane and Karim Benzema.

He may also rest Keylor Navas in goal and give some minutes to Kiko Casilla.

He will definitely be without Isco and Dani Carvajal through injury.

Forgerrit.


Na the strongest lineup will play.

Key-Lord
Fastest Vallejo Redmos Clown
Destroyer
The Creation The Snipper
Samurai Boomzema Commander

One match should not be used to define a man and the season.

It not fair.

Ronaldo's performance was below par TBH. Going by his standard sha.
