Zidane is being incredibly petty. Who the hell gives a guard of honour for teams that win the World Club Cup??! Absolutely ridiculous. Guards of honour should ONLY be reserved for league winners IMO.
As for Madrid, they have nothing to play for but pride which is dangerous. I expect Zidane to play some reserves, who will go all out to get a CL final position. I expect a good game from them.
They're surely very motivated to prevent us from having an invincible La Liga season.
Fuck Real Madrid. Shit club. I don't care about this match.... Unless we win 5-0 ��
Yes! They still risk standing with no trophies after this season, and if we have gone invicible in the meantime, their season has been a catastrophe.
(Of course if they win CL they will be compared to Peps Barca, that is how black/white the footballing world is )
Mostly by CL fanatics who either don't watch the matches, or watch them but don't understand the game very well. 2010 Barca who failed to repeat the CL win in 2009 would murder 2016 Madrid who won the CL after a cake draw. That Madrid team lost to Wolfsburg 2-0 after being outplayed for large portions in the match.
Trophies are not the only relevant parameter in ranking the best teams ever. Sacchi's Milan won 2 European cups and are still regarded as one of the best teams ever. Same goes for Pep's Barca.Serghei, pep's barca couldnt defend CL title and this madrid side have a chance to win it 3rd time in a row, how can we even compare that to pep's barca?
Losing from wolfsburg really doesnt matter much when they won CL title that year, trophies is what counts at the end
I dont think winning against madrid would make some statement, CL is different competition and if madrid win or lose vs barca that wouldnt really matter for them in CL
can valverde be sacked if there is a shocking defeat ?
