Brozovic is a good fit for Xavi, if he wants to come, we are probably getting him. He is probably the most similar to Busquets available in terms of effect on the team and also is very physically capable, amazing stamina (think he set some records for distance covered recently). Use him for a...

Espanyol could even have 5 or 6 by now. 26 shots and 13 on target, crazy. Good they only got a point because they deserved to win.

How sad. One of the formerly best defensive teams of all-time now regressed so hard they are choking 3-0 leads to Espanyol. Wtf happened to this league.

1 goal and 0 assists in 12 games for this lad whilst his team sit rock bottom of the MLS. No wonder giving it large after he scored a nice goal against Lafc's youth team, he needs that to still keep up the fraudulent image of him being a talent.

The correct decision would be to also give a red card to Hugo Duro but this all is setting a dangerous precedent that the committee can change on field decisions made by referees. There are many unjust expulsions and non-expulsions happening every single gameweek and nobody is getting even an...

Forget Barca even, it is now plausible that you actually finish in 4th behind both Sociedad, Atleti and Barca, that is a total disaster. When a team like Sociedad is matching your league performance something is seriously wrong as Madrid should be a club with infinitely higher aspirations...

Best player in the world after the result is already settled.

There goes Lewa with another consolation late goal. He is really really good at those.

Think he didn't play for physical reasons. Our scheme this season was so rooted in a full team, uber aggressive press that was basically our offense and defense. One guy with low intensity can break the link. Bizarre that he basically didn't play even when matches were done or meaningless...

People really underestimate how much of our improvement was due to players like this leaving the starting 11. No wonder the team was doing so poorly with him instead of Christ or Araujo. What a huge level gap.

Defender who doesn't know how to defend.. its comical... lol

The league is tied up already, but still, could have made the season more historic than it is going to be now. Oh well. As long as it doesn't carry over into next season.

Wasn't announced, it was leaked. But not relevant if they have been planning to do that for months.

It's not about the City win. It's mainly about getting destroyed in the league by a pretty bang average Barca. For any other top team losing the league like that is an embarrassment less to this Barca, but for Madrid it just gets written off as nothing because 'they didn't try'. Who does it...

Bookmark and come back to the post. Madrid finishing so many points behind this poor Barca is not by accident or because they had an offseason. You guys are actually worse and by some way.

Change was planned months before the Valencia game.

This analysis isn't completely accurate because it removes the strikers role entirely in getting on the end of chances. Making good runs, winning aerial duels in crosses and pulling the trigger quickly on shots can contribute to having higher xG. In fact, the sign of a great striker is having...

Question : give 5 players who you think are world-class in midfield, out of genuine curiosity.

Aubameyang was actually more effective against good teams than this guy. Scored just as many goals relatively and put in top performance against Madrid.

Come up clutch means scoring goals when they matter, not piling on inflated scorelines against Elche or Viktoria Plzen. Or meaningless consolation goals that he seems to score all the time. The guy has been the definition of statpadder so far, despite an encouraging start to his time here.
