And the funniest thing is even with all this Madrid probably wont win it.

Bellingham is genuinely incredible, has everything. Crazy athleticism as well as great technique.

Was about to say this. VAR officials who have access to exact replays of all these incidents made him overturn his own correct decisions. There is some pressure on refs not to oppose the VAR too when they call you over, given they have a better view of it than you.

That's one of the problems with VAR, slow motion replays can mislead and obscure what actually happened when you can't see the velocity in real time.

He literally touched his forearm as well right before allowing the goal, as if he thinks the forearm is legal :lol:

I feel for Almeria because they should have won today. It must be very difficult mentally to have a win stolen from you like this and to try and keep playing

Literally swings his arm out and you can see by the weird arc of the ball that it didn't hit his shoulder, where you would expect sharper contact. One of the worst decisions in LaLiga this season. If that isnt a handball we may as well score with our hands next game.

That decision is utterly incredible, it's more forearm than shoulder.

Betis is one of our easiest games under Xavi so might be a good confidence booster if we can turn up today. They may be 9th but I would probably prefer to play them than any other team in the league at the moment, seeing their previous performances against us.

Araujos been so poor the last 2 months, it's crazy after how good the last 18 months before that was. Wonder if he is either suffering physical issues or he is really thinking about that Bayern offer.

We have made much crazier comebacks... But I guess this is the reality now.

Team shelling up and stopping the press after 4-1 says it all really. Looking to not be embarrassed rather than trying to get back in the game.

Nah, he will say 'individual mistakes' and 'low intensity'. Other than that, he will say we played amazing.

Theyve just been taught that team is always unlucky, nothing is ever their fault, and the only problems are intensity and referees.

Defense is absolutely shambolic. Every time they break have 6 or 7 players sprinting back behind them as if we've put the whole 10 outfielders in attack... yet we arent using that superiority on the ball. Baffling. Too many players standing in no man's land and no organisation at all. End up...

I really dont get this Balde LW stuff. He's been tried many times more advanced and never shown any real kind of attacking nous yet we continue to pin him up the touchline and make him sprint back to defend needlessly, he is not even doing anything up there.

Keep in mind he has no real pro experience except Barca B and half a season at Galatasaray. He's taken on a much bigger role than anyone was prepared for him to do. The team has certainly lost for not having MATS instead.

I don't remember seeing you comment about Ter Stegen. There were a number of people who wanted him to get sold and said he was worse than Mendy, Onana etc.

Araujo has been very very poor since he injured his thigh in November and I've remarked on it before. Its like his level took a nosedive directly after that injury. Could just be a coincidence.

I think its soft but I also didnt see anyone question the decision when similar pen won us the game late against Osasuna in the league.
