Champions League

Even more tragic that we lost La Liga to these shows our level too.

Quique "Chess Master" Setien had a lot to do with that.

Play was dull as usual, but at least we didnt concede many chances last season, so its not like you lost to this version of RM.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Once again, when Madrid concede first they don’t comeback like they used to.

Inb4 4-3 win.


Clasico will be fun. Two shite teams.

Nah, they were better last season. This is much worse.

They were playing fine until the goal. Don't know what you were on about.

They were toothless, with very slow ball circulation that ended with them losing the ball and Shakhtar hitting them on the break.

people still drinking that La Liga kool-aid?

 

[Altomonte]

I guess it shows how important Ramos and Carvajal are for RM defense

 

[Sterlingfan2000]

COVID might make me stop watching football though. The levels are just shockingly low all around. Let's hope Bayern provide some proper football later today v AM.

They are playing bad themselves

 

[te amo barca]

Wow, getting obliterated by Shakhtar's half-reserves Madrid keep outdoing themselves.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Madrid made their life very hard in this group with this defeat.

True, if they lose this one, they will be in trouble.

Breaks shouldnt make a difference with players this quick and this good. It?s not like they lost balls at halfway line.

Front line did well considering it?s their first match together in 3 months and Zidane has absolutely zero organisation.

 

[serghei]

Both Barca, and Madrid have been caught in some type of facade rebuild. Like when you commit to something but you're hesitant to go all the way so everything goes to shit.

It also shows how garbage the Varane - Militao "partnership" is.

Ramos, mainly.

It's become apparent that Ramos was the 2nd driving force in the CL runs.

My order's changed to:

CR7
Ramos
Modric
Marcelo

And then great performances from Kroos, Benz, Bale, Di Maria to complement that...no wonder they had so much success. And now all of them are washed up at respective clubs.

Its only garbage because Zidane doesn’t try it enough. Ramosdependencia kills them, not players themselves. They need confidence on their own. Not Ramos cleaning their mess up. And it’s Zidane job to sort that out.
