I felt like he gave the ball away quite a bit last night, and his passing was a bit off at times. But, he did open up space very well. His tackling was very good, too. This makes me think it may have been the Bernabeu jungle grass that the team had to play in that was causing him some problems...

Hopefully Afellay can get the full 90 against Osasuna this weekend. Would love for him to get a goal.

If we are forced to play with one of Masch or Busquets at CB, I think the team plays better as a whole with Masch there. In my opinion, Masch has a little more pace than Busquets, so he's better on the counter. He's also a better tackler (albeit sometimes a bit reckless). Busquets at DM allows...

^Yep. Adriano had CR covered very well, just got out-jumped. Nothing more he could really do. As much as it pains me to say it, it was a great play by CR.

Wish he would have seen Messi making the run at the far post after the nutmeg. Could have played a hard cross across the goal for Messi to run onto and slot home. But, he had good power in the shot.

Fontas can potentially get a lot of playing time here at the end of the season if we beat madrid and then win the next two. If we beat madrid tomorrow and then beat osasuna and sociedad, we would only need to draw one of the remaining 4 matches to win the league. Fontas/Thiago/JDS/Barta/the rest...

If he is match fit for tomorrow, I still don't think we should play him. The liga classico is not important enough to risk rushing him back out and potentially making his lingering injury even worse. I would suggest keeping him out of the copa classico also, let him get some minutes against...

^LOL, it's been way more than just 2 goals that Milito has been accountable for this season. Hell, he was responsible for at least two in the game against Betis in Copa del Rey.

That was a great save by Pyatov after Messi made the long run and laid it off for Afellay.

Fucking monster game. MOTM for sure.

I agree with all of this. Regarding Jeffren, I'd like to see us put a buy-back clause on the contract to whomever we sell to (similar to Botia). I really think he just needs a season or two of consistent playing time and he can be really good. We don't need a left back this Summer if we keep...
