Terrible pitch :lmao

That offside call was close, but VAR showed the line and looked a veeeery little bit like offside, wow.

[Canyonero]

Good job by the VAR tbh.

Unbelievable that the "best European league" and the UCL don't have it.

Yes.

He will pass Hugol soon, though.

7, 4...
Same thing tbh

He's in great company there, from Puskás and Di Stéfano, to Santillana and Hugol, to finish with Raúl and Ronaldo.

Tbh Juventus bought Penaldo for the UCL, it's a given they will coast the league and that he's going to be a non-factor.

[dunkman]

Tbh Juventus bought Penaldo for the UCL, it's a given they will coast the league and that he's going to be a non-factor.

With 2-3 games it's hard to tell, he started slowly last season too, then went to score 44 goals in 45 matches, many of them vs key rivals like Barça, Atleti, Juve, Bayern. The problem is that when Ronaldo found his form, the Ligue was lost.

And it's one thing to play for Mardid, another different for United or Juventus. Courtois just said the level at Madrid is higher than in Chelsea, arguably an elite PL team, and Vinicius a top talent doesn't have much space in first team.

[140]

Been there, done that.
Then he'll wake up when it actually matters.

I'd rather have him coordinate the youth teams.

[lefty]

Oh well :lol

The search continues

[dunkman]

Sabella was good, but the NT has become a hot potato. The expectations are high, the talent is top, but there's something missing in the organization and the coaches risk burning their careers.

Typically it was just three contenders for the Copa America, now it's also Chile, Colombia has became good, so is Mexico that gets regularly invited, it's no longer easy. And the World Cup has became even more difficult with European teams dominating since some time.

[lefty]

Missi refusing to shake hands with the referee after the game :cry :lmao

[dunkman]

Sep 29, the Derby Madrileño. Without Isco is going to be tough. Barça probably wants Atlético to win or a draw. Atleti can't leave much points on table if they want to win la Liga, but I guess the main target is the Champions with the 2019 finals at the Wanda Metro.

In the end the 6 games between this 3 rivals will define who wins la Liga. Barça is very consistent against smaller teams as usual, they already have the best goal difference and seldom lose the clásicos.

[TDMVPDPOY]

dunno why real is protecting bale by not playing him against scrub teams, even scrub teams can pose a upset

Lucky not to be down 0-5. Emberassing performance, 1 to 11.

[Canyonero]

Gaylord Navas must be :loling all the way to the dressing room.

[Jodelo]

Sevilla just four levels better, incredible. Maybe Madrid should send more players to the FIFA gala next time, seems to work well as preparation.

1-5, 1-6 would be a fair result, tbh.

[lefty]

CUE THE COMEBACK

[dunkman]

Sevilla was much better, not sure what happened. Starting from Courtois, the only ones that tried something were Bale and Modric, the rest was awful, first half arriving late to every ball, they must have been on a party last night or something.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Midget in knockout stage form and it's only september :lol

So is the entire Madrid team apparently

[dunkman]

Barça - Athletic 1:1

Messi entered as substitute to save the game. Could have been several goals, but the woodwork saved Athletic 2-3 times.

[lefty]

Barca dropped points.


Meaning we will drop points too

[Jodelo]

Barca dropped points.


Meaning we will drop points too

Yup, a loss is coming!

[dunkman]

Well, it looks bad after the 0:3 vs Sevilla, while Atlético was winning their last games and playing well. Definitely, can see Atleti winning or drawing the game.

[dunkman]

0:0 so far, Atleti with better chances. Madrid lacks some creativity without Isco and Marcelo. Incredible error by Oblak, Asensio intercepted his pass but the rebound went to his hands.

[Jodelo]

Atletico better so far, Madrid without chances.

[dunkman]

Atletico better so far, Madrid without chances.

Wouldn't say without chances, the set piece of Kroos to Bale almost went in. But the two mano a mano of Griezmann and Costa, definitely were really good chances.

It will be interesting to see the adjustments for second half.

[dunkman]

Bale out for Cevallos, Lopetegui will play 4-4-2 I guess?

[dunkman]

Madrid controls the ball, it looks better so far. But it's all in mid-field, Atleti forced to foul often. Maybe the plan is to generate danger from set pieces or provoke 2 yellows

[dunkman]

Asensio missed a mano a mano

[dunkman]

With Lemar and Costa out and Correa and Partey in, it seems Simeone passes to play 4-5-1.

[dunkman]

Lopetegui switching back to 4:3:3 with Modric for Vásquez, Simeone reacting inmediately with 4:4:2 with Rodri for Kalinic

[dunkman]

Vinicius!!!

[lefty]

Lucas?

Srsly, why did John Stockton's son play today?

[dunkman]

0:0, it's over.

Ramos could have seen a straight red for the elbow to Kalinic, the ref must be blind, didn't even call a foul.

Good game, too bad the forwards were off.

[dunkman]

Lucas?

Srsly, why did John Stockton's son play today?

Lope should have gone with Vinicius first. In only 5 minutes, Vinicius generated some danger. It's a mystery why never plays.

Not sure if Vásquez even touched the ball.

[lefty]

0:0, it's over.

Ramos could have seen a straight red for the elbow to Kalinic, the ref must be blind, didn't even call a foul.

Good game, too bad the forwards were off.
I don't think that elbow was on purpose tbh

[Jodelo]

Good second half. Benzema is back to his useless form. And Mariano did not even got a second... :bang

There was no one in the box to score (or not anymore).

[dunkman]

I don't think that elbow was on purpose tbh

I'm not sure, it's too crazy to hit someone with the elbow to the side of the head. I think the rules are red direct for elbowing the head and up to 10 games suspension.

[Jodelo]

Oh look, Benzema starts again :lmao

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol benshita why do they keep on looking for him upfront, his going to turn it over

[Canyonero]

Penaldo would rape that defense.

[Canyonero]

:lmao

[Jodelo]

:lmao Fuck off Lopetegui. :lmao No system at all, no ideas, no chances created. Time for a change.

The loss was confirmed in the second half, Alaves was having more chances.

[TheGreatYacht]

4 games without a goal :lmao

Losing to Alaves :lmao

Finished without the greatest player of all time, Cristiano Godnaldo :lmao

That ugly midget Modric not producing goals as per, but det pass completion %! :lmao

[Jodelo]

Not even mad, tbh. Feels like the time under Benitez when i "hoped" they would lose points so he gets sacked.

[TheGreatYacht]

Modric should thank Buddha tonight that he's one short and ugly son of a bitch. Those features have made him lovable and relateable with normal peasants. The tall and handsome will always be hated out of jealousy.

But Perez should take the blame too.
CR7 and ZZ bailed his ass ....

Lol the arrogance of Flo when he thought Bale could replace Ronaldo and that Asensio would be the next big thing. Don't get me wrong Asensio is a great talent and he will be a star but he clearly not there yet, far from it

Then he buys a GK.

Agreed on everything else

[dunkman]

Lopetegui was hit by injuries, the worse were Marcelo and Carbajal, because it made the offense too previsible. Also Isco, Bale and Benzema. Benz is good but can be replaced, imo. However, the others are quite unique.

[dunkman]

Morata was a stellar sub, maybe Mariano or Vinicius can replace him. James can be replaced giving more playtime to Isco and Ceballos looks very talented too. Pepe has been replaced by Varane and he became world class central. The main problem is Cristiano, I think it was crazy from Florentino not to sign Hazard after the World Cup.

About Courtois or Navas, they are both world class.

[lefty]

Morata has been very meh in EPLol

[Jodelo]

WTF Varane? :bang

And again Varane. What is wrong with all those mistakes. :reading

Don't worry, Barcelona won't win today either.

VAR has brought more balance to La Liga, Madrid and Barça would get away with murder in previous seasons via friendly referees. Second goal was from a VAR penalty that initially was called free kick just outside of the area. Also two annulled off side goals. That's the way the things are now. Lope did his part, the ball just didn't go in.

Ronaldo wouldn't help with the VAR situation, he often had bogus penalties and off side goals called good, but he was also ridiculously accurate finisher and never loses confidence.

Florentino saw Lopetegui as temporary solution, he didn't bought in the class players Madrid always has up front. The forwards just aren't world class, not only Barça forwards are better, also Atleti's. Washed up Bale and Benzema, unproven Asensio, Vasquez and Mariano, plus Vinicius that never plays. Terrible.

But midgetfan led me to believe Ronaldo had the best supporting cast in the world at Real and that Ronaldo was just another cog, being carried by world class players. Surely they should be able to perform without him, right? :lmao

Also, faggot midgetfan trying to rewrite history. Trying to pin last season's 17 point differential on Ronaldo :lmao

Ronaldo saw a red card in the Supercup last season and was suspended for the 1st 5 games of la liga. Similar to this season, Real performed poorly in Ronaldo's absence, when he came back from his suspension, Real was already 7 points behind Barca after only 5 games. Real then shifted their attention to the CL 3peat, which is understandable. This season Real's performing poorly on all fronts without Ronaldo, no excuse.

United has never sniffed another CL final after Ronaldo left
Real is having their worst start in decades
Portugal is gonna struggle as well, woudn't be surprised if they don't make it to the WC/Euro immediately after Ronaldo retires
Juventus is going through an historically great start


What's the common denominator on those teams? Ronaldo. On the other hand, numbers prove Barca still performs just as good without midget. Hell, i bet Argentina won't skip a beat without midget, i can actually see them finally winning the Copa America without the cancerous choking midget at the wheel tbh imho.

United still managed to win the league after Ronaldo left, Portugal have looked damn good since Ronaldo has taken time off the NT due to being a rapist, and Ronaldo was absolute shit up last season up until January. One of the worst conversion rates in all of Europe. Hell, Portugal won a Euro final WITHOUT Ronaldo, Juventus didn't miss a beat in the games Ronaldo missed due to his red card. Zidane absence is as big of a factor for Madrid's failings as well.

Again, despite all the sky is falling stuff about Madrid they are only FOUR points out of first place...all without Ronaldo.


Argentina nearly failed to qualify for the WC until Messi returned, Barca lose their first game all season last season when surprise surprise Messi doesn't play.

Madrid just need to sign any competent forward and they'll be fine. Modric needs some rest as unlike Ronaldo he didn't choke in the most recent WC games the way Ronaldo did with horrible showings against Iran (missed penalty that could have won them the group) and Uruguay (absolute ghost, missing chance after chance).

At least Messi had two assists against the best team of the tournament (France) and a crucial goal against Nigeria to give Argentina a prayer of getting out of the group stage. Messi got better as the WC went on while Ronaldo got worse.

Midgetfan talking about stacked teams like midget didn't play with the most stacked midfield of all time (Xavi, Iniesta, Ronaldinho, Deco) :lol

You wanna talk about being carried? Since that midfield was dismantled, midget has only won 1 CL in 7 seasons and has been a complete non-factor in the european stage. That's being carried :lol

What you fail to realize is that Ronaldo's impact goes beyond goal scoring. He demands extra coverage and drags defences with him, which in turn opened spaces for Benzema and Bale to shine at the end of last season. With Ronaldo gone, that duo is quickly coming back to earth, hence Real's goal drought in all competitions.

Also, did you really just call the 2016 Portugal team stacked? You really are a clueless midgetfan :lmao

France was clearly the superior team in that final, had way more opportunities which they fail to capitalize on. Then Eder scored a fluke goal. That's about it.

The sentiment among neutral and unbiased fans, is that midget has had a better NT than Ronaldo for most of their careers. Only midgetfans would call Portugal stacked :lol

I give Zidane his props for the 3peat but he wasn't gonna save Real this season. Ronaldo's future at Real was looking uncertain, Florentino and Ronaldo kept bumping heads, ZZ saw the writing on the wall and bounced, left on a high note with his stock extremely high.

Also, Real has always been a force in the CL group stage, regardless of how slow they started in la liga. This is poor play and lack of goals across the board, in all competitions.

You wanna talk about being carried? Since that midfield was dismantled, midget has only won 1 CL in 7 seasons and has been a complete non-factor in the european stage. That's being carried :lol

What you fail to realize is that Ronaldo's impact goes beyond goal scoring. He demands extra coverage and drags defences with him, which in turn opened spaces for Benzema and Bale to shine at the end of last season. With Ronaldo gone, that duo is quickly coming back to earth, hence Real's goal drought in all competitions.

Also, did you really just call the 2016 Portugal team stacked? You really are a clueless midgetfan :lmao

France was clearly the superior team in that final, had way more opportunities which they fail to capitalize on. Then Eder scored a fluke goal. That's about it.

The sentiment among neutral and unbiased fans, is that midget has had a better NT than Ronaldo for most of their careers. Only midgetfans would call Portugal stacked :lol

Care to show me where I called the Portugal team stacked? They were the most undeserving team to win a title this century (moreso than 2004 Greece). Only managed one win within 90 minutes.

Madrid have been insanely stacked, and had one of the best coaches too. Ronaldo will never win CL again, Juventus are great defensively but won't have the firepower to go all the way.

[Bynumite]

Care to show me where I called the Portugal team stacked?


2014 CL Final, 2016 CL Final, 2018 CL Final, and 2016 Euro.

He's always played on insanely stacked teams to carry him when he doesn't show up on the biggest stage.

You implied it. Stop playing dumb midgetfan :lol


Madrid have been insanely stacked, and had one of the best coaches too. Ronaldo will never win CL again, Juventus are great defensively but won't have the firepower to go all the way.

Real hasn't been any more stacked than Barca, yet Ronaldo is coming off a CL 3peat, while midget has 1 CL in the last 7 seasons. Is this your GOAT? :lol

Real had the best midfield in the world and far better manager

STACKED


And I was mentioning all the finals where he played like crap and still got a trophy out of it. At least you admit Ronaldo’s NT trophy was a total fluke

LMAO @ Barca without midget and Real without the GOAT :lmao

It's all been said a million times before, factually backed up by numbers and stats too. Midgetfans are the only ones still in denial at this point :wakeup

[Canyonero]

I don't understand those who say Penaldo would have made a difference today. The ref didn't gift RMAO any penalties today.

[dunkman]

Suárez is a world class striker. Mardid doesn't have anyone that's that good making goals.

If it's not for him, this game ends 2:1 or something like that, but Suárez makes most of his chances. His finishing is like that of Ronaldo.

His quote was from a week ago for what it’s worth

Carvajal, Vallejo, Varane, Marcelo before injured and today Casemiro, Reguillon and Nacho had to be subbed off due to injuries. :lol

Fraudsters gonna fraud.

[mrgrtt123]

It seems like Barcelona is having a good season so far. With no Cristiano Ronaldo on Los Blancos, it seems like Real Madrid will have a hard time winning the title this year.

[Jodelo]

:lol Madrid

And that Modric won two awards this year, is robbery. God afwul the whole season, same with Varane.

It's time to bench and ship Bale out, fuck him!

[dunkman]

Fortunately, Atleti vs Barça ended 1:1. But still, this Mardid team can't really follow anybody, specially not Barcelona with Mesz. While Barça brings Coutinho, Dembele, Malcolm and Vidal, Perez sells best players season after season, and brings absolutely no one of impact.

Not sure what's going on, Flo got arrogant or maybe saves every penny for stadium renewal (another juice contract for his construction company).

They would have lost the game vs Atleti without Messi. When he got the ball at least three defenders were distracted, often resulting in frontal free kicks and eventually resulting in the assist for the goal. But, yes, Barcelona is immensely talented even without Messi.

[dunkman]

And wanting to build around Bale who can just simply not lead a team or even be the team's best player.

Bale just lacks heart to play his mind of every game. And it's the same with Benz. Cris was a true leader, and now that Ramos shows signs of decline, there's no one to put the team on his shoulders.

Can't believe either Courtois is still playing, he's concedes 3-5 goals every game. Navas would be yelling the centrals for the slightest mistake and often wins a mano a mano.

[lefty]

Midget made a great assist yesterday tbh

Also, that nutmeg on Luis was nasty

Not much, Zidane also left and Madrid were atrocious last year in domestic play.

The problem is Madrid didn't replace Ronaldo with ANYONE. That is baffling. If thy even got a Cavani type player they'd be neck and neck with Barca.

Zidane saw the writing on the wall last year and jumped ship. Ronaldo left for tax reasons.

If they replaced Ronaldo with any half decent striker (not to say Ronaldo wasn't huge for Madrid) the Madrid crisis wouldn't be happening.

[apalisoc_9]

Madrid need to go hard on a scorer. Thats why I think Hazard is a waste of money. He's not a quality scorer.

Salah should be their primary option. Thrown in 300 million dollars if you have to.

Theres also secondary options like Kane, Icardi etc.

Def not hazard though.

They should have spent gazillion on Salah. Instead they drowned themselves in delusion with Bale and Ascensio.

If Salah was impossible, Kane would have been a a great addition.

Spot on! I just don’t understand their logic last summer. I mean of all the positions to buy for they opt for a GK when they didn’t really need one :lol

I wonder if Hazard joins Madrid this summer.

[Jodelo]

I wonder if Hazard joins Madrid this summer.

Hopefully. I want him and Icardi. Heard something about Eriksen aswell, would be good. There are a few players that leave (Bale, Isco, etc.)...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Icardi would be amazing. As tough as things seem for Madrid as of today they only need a few

[apalisoc_9]

Dont think Hazard changes anything for madrid. They need a legit goal scorer. They should go for Salah ( if possible) if not Icardi would be a good cheaper option.

[Jodelo]

Salah :lol No thanks. I take Hazad over him for Real.

But they need a goal scorer, no question. That's why i prefer Icardi.

[apalisoc_9]

Salah :lol No thanks.

And how exactly is hazard changing madrid? Hes a dynamic midfuelder that can score sometimes. They already have players like those.

They need a selfish. I want to score every goal opportunity. The difference between goal scoring opportubity between Hazard and Salah is astronomical. Madrid needs guys that can put thesmelves in goal scoring opportunities.

Kane would be another great option. Madrid doesnt need creative or dynamic attacking midfielders.

Excatly why they dont need another dynamic midfielder. They have enough guys to create these kind of disparity. They dont have anyone that can finish it.

Yeah but this isnt a 90 point barca team. Not even close. Its a team more vurneable to losing points. If Madrid can pull off a string of wins they can challenge for the tittle. Its less likely but it is certainly possible.

That’s fair man. I think we are significantly worse defensively this year than last. I love the depth of this Barca squad but CL CL wise they aren’t gonna do crap with relying on Ter Stegen bailing them out. Umtiti being out had killed the back line.
