The 4 points allows us to draw twice and draw against madrid.
With 3 points drawing twice means we have to win given they win their games and Atletico doesnt go on top

That's the extra pain.. the 3 points today would have made elclassico meaningless. ..

We can still go into clasico with 4 point lead.
I don't understand Flick's spin on the rotation at all. I don't understand why he keeps Pau Vitor on the bench. Lamine could have been given a rest in the same games against Osasuna, Girona..... He can barely run anymore - a notable moment in the 35th minute of the match when he just collapsed with the ball and was struggling to breathe.

Madrid is dropping more points
I don't see how people can watch their awful clueless brand of football every week and then think they are winning every game until the end
They can drop points against pretty much anybody, even Alaves away will be tricky to them
Likes of Bilbao and Celta at home will give them serious headaches

The idea is that going to elclassico with 4 points and 3 points are almost the same.. both situations means we can afford to loose BUT NOT EVEN draw after that.

I am really upset on his rotations too. But first, today we should not drop points. This match could have been won very easy.
Do not understand how Araujo was so naive and weak at that corner when basically they score so easy.
Secondly, some players are very selfish: Yamal, Kounde, Raphinia. If they would look to pass when they have chances, specially Konde, the game could have terminated probably 3-1 for us.
And Flick keeps Lewanflopski entire game!!!!! Hard to understand his logic when Pau Victor could have been used at least half of game.

It was a warning shot yesterday, at the right time too before the CL and the Copa final and because the blancos lost. The physical form in the second half wasn't good enough to beat top teams. Especially Lamine and Pedri need more pauses.
I understand that it's difficult to rotate your two best players out, but when they're tired and lose focus, they start to make mistakes and we won't win the important games that way. Especially with Flick's tactic, where a lack of focus often results for the opponent in a 1v1 situation against Tek. Betis is after us the strongest 2025 LaLiga team so far, so it's not the end of the world to lose points here, but I hope Flick will see this as a warning shot to give them more pauses.
The game against Leganes between both Dortmund games is the perfect opportunity to rest Lamine and Pedri, give them max. 30 minutes. Then we play 2 games at home before the CdR, against Mallorca will be a good opportunity for rotation again, so the team is fresh for the final and the CL semis right after. Valladolid is a must rotation before the second leg of the semis as well.
Flick needs to rotate against Leganes, Mallorca and Valladolid, so we don't see another second half like yesterday.

Ngl so many people here are overreacting. Yesterday was just fatigue and what can you expect. You can’t expect perfection and win every single game from now until the end of the season (hopefully the 6th in Munich) anyways calma and 4 points ahead of Real Madrid is still really really good. You guys are acting as if Real Madrid will go on a monster run and win 8/8. Which I severely doubt is happening. Next game is Dortmund and I am 100% confident that the team will look exponentially better than they did yesterday.
I am so devastated that we lost the opportunity to go 6 points in front of RM. Huge, golden opportunity lost.
He clearly needs to make an effort to find a replacement for Flopski as this guy is nowhere. He is do poor in everything. Torres was poor today, Eric Garcia is a weak solution. I understand that we have to rest Pedri as much we can, but there are clear games when he can easy be rested, NOT this game. As soon as he was subbed, the game was over. Without Pedri, this team is like a boat without driver.
I am so delighted of the qualities of Yamal, no doubt that he will be probably the best player in the world in no time. Still, he needs to look for a pass in the box when other players might be in a better position to score. Same about Kounde or Raphinia.
Coming back to Flick, he definitely has to keep on the bench Flopski and give more time to play to Pau Victor OR bring a striker from the second Barca team. Something HAS to bo done.
Hope to go to bed and forget this game asap.
From +3 to +4. We also had the tougher opponent.
We have now 3 very easy League games and should absolutely go into the Clasico with this lead (or more, Real has a somewhat difficult schedule). Nothing to whine about (yet). The talk about having a 6p lead is a bit entitled to be honest.

People talking like 6 points guarantees you the LaLiga title. This run really diluted the expectations of the fans compared to the beginning of the season, people be talking like wins should be guaranteed in LaLiga at this point. If you told me in January that we would win 9 games in a row and draw once in the next 10 games, I would take it without a shadow of a doubt. These off games happen once in a while and every team has to experience games like these to further improve themselves and sometimes get their feet on the ground.
