Champions League 23/24

You miss the point
The point was not what Ancelotti's style is, let alone direct comparison with Capello
The point was Madrid's fanbase mentality
The same fanbase that was happy with Mou's style also in 2010-13

At that time Mou was absolutely the most hyped coach in the world and Barcelona demolished open play teams like there was no tomorrow. So is a bit out off context. After Bayern did that trashing and BVB eliminate Real things were not sustainable anymore. Anyway it's a huge debate.

This was the first CL final I missed in 31 years! I just couldn't be bothered to wake up and watch them win yet again.
This competition is almost like a showcase for Real ti strut their stuff. It doesn't help that when they're in trouble the refs bail them out or their players manage to find an extra gear.
They have won triple the CL we have. And we're supposed to be their greatest rivals 😆.
In the next five years they will probably win another two or three, at the bare minimum one.

They have basically 3x the CL of Bayern too. And more than 2x Milan.

It's just the weight of history that other teams can't beat. If you're familiar with basketball, the Boston Celtics had an advantage like this in basketball for a long, long time.

Or the lack of proper subtitutes for BVB.
I mean they totally outplayed them for 65 minutes..The legacy is presing only in the last 25? ) What team collapsed against Real except Liverpool.
Why this nonsense is presented on a forum.This I will expect from clap trap tabloids

Outside of the Classico games where they had to resort to terrorist ball, Mourinho's Madrid weren't even an ugly team to watch. Quite the opposite actually.

People seem to forget that team still holds the record for most goals scored in a single La Liga season ( 2011-2012)

Record was made through most direct counter-attack goals. Check it out

Of course against the Malagas and the Granadas, who were themselves parking the bus, they had to somehow attack. That was also done by the Capellos and any kind of defensive-oriented coach in the world against such minor opposition.

By the way that's the reason Real can get away with robberies. Since there was a post on mediatic bias towards Real. Because afterall who will attack that dna and history if even the barca fans got trapped.

Never a penalty.

Dortmund have themselves to blame for not finishing clear chances where they should have been up 3-4 goals in the first half.

But it's the history of the Dortmund.

Forever losers.

 

[NKMaribor]

After playing Barca ball for first half and being wrecked by counters and fast break attacks, this team bounced back yet again. Still winning and writing history, even when at its lowest. Cant wait for the next chapter, with Mbappe and co.. What a night. What a club.


p.s: the coping mechanisms here are cherry on top. 🥰

It's a 50/50 penalty in a league game, it's not a penalty in the final.

Oh yes. The horrors of direct football with historic season, scoring bucketload goals. Oh my. Mou should have won CL, with Madrid. That team was lit as frack.

And there goes your dumbass narrative.

 

[Loki]

Ancelotti perfected the most practical football. Madrid doesn't win because they play the best or the most beautiful fooball, but the best working one to win games. It's not forbidden of course and as long as they keep winning, fans gonna enjoy it.
And of course their CL mentality. They somehow focus on this title more than any other and it shows year after year for the last decade. You have to congratulate them and try to do better next season.

“ Madrid have never won champions league ehike I was president”
Laporta

 

[Hamzah]

Winning the CL isn’t happening any time soon. Barca should focus on la liga which is achievable and try to close the gap in league titles.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Madrid don't play particularly poor football either, though, they just tend to sit back and not challenge for the ball mostly against other top teams. They are definitely capable of keeping the ball and playing positional football, they just don't specialise in any particular type of football and are quite reactive as a team.

They can play with defensive or possessional setups when the time requires.
