Thing that always stood out with him was his decision making, when to pass, go outside, inside, slow it down etc. Same thing for Yamal, almost always makes the correct decision. Quite similar players in some aspects.
They've been pretty crap all season, league position flatters them. Without questionable ref decisions, a million penalties for instead of against, they'd be fighting Bilbao for 4th.
I think it's a bad game if you're looking for the excuse to call it bad. Having positional nightmares Gavi/Fermin as your midfield partners doesn't help the deeper sitting midfielder who needs options. thought he did what he could today. Only thing I didn't like from him was getting caught out...
Might be one of the worst and most sinister looking "fouls" I've seen. Speechless at how this could only be a 1-2 game ban. Not because it's Real Madrid, if this was sunday league I'd expect a 3 game ban minimum. But you know what, fuck em, we'll win the league even with a 0 game ban. The more...
Quite fortunate yesterday tbh, especially with that first half. I think any other team in the champions league would have made us pay with 2 or 3 goals. Put it right second half though and we were far better.
He's a constant threat even if he can often have poor execution. No surprise he could have scored a few times, set one up and could have probably had another assist.
Funny his latest performance is for some reason seen as a win for Gavi "fans" when it couldn't be further from the truth.
Those of us who were criticising him said he needs to focus less on the hard man act and work on developing the technical/positional side to his game. The first game he...
What is even being discussed? That we wouldn't have lost the games we did since 2016 if Messi wasn't here/didn't play as he did? I mean, maybe sure, same argument could be said for every player that was on the losing side. What's the point in focusing on that so much? The only Barca team capable...
Must be weird being an Atletico fan. You know that winning the league is overachieving given the competition and that would have been such a great feeling to win it twice in recent memory. At the same time they must be left wanting more in moments Atletico are capable of it. To revert to such...
Thing I noticed most was how composed everyone else was in comparison to him. We're 4-1 up in a tie, it's basically game over and time to recycle possession until the ref blows his whistle. He wants to do everything 100mph. Part of that to be fair to him is wanting to make an impact. Also as...
