1:0, as expected.

home against elche boring play

Their goal came from a corner that shouldn't have been due to Benzema being offside. Then they needed a deflection for the ball to go into the back of the net. So much for Madrid being in "amazing form". Needing luck to win at home against elche

Alonso is so dirty.

What a goal from Bale. What a goal. Neymar-ish.

Can somebody link Bale's goal? RM matches are better than sleeping pills.

Neymar's goal vs Rayo vas better

What a goal from Bale. What a goal. Neymar-ish.

Had it not been for that goal, I would have never known Bale played today, just like his other matches. He scores good goals, but his impact is poor.

I.e. a comfortable win with minimum effort with a tough European schedule coming up. Many teams would love to win games this way.

Isco sub was so sexy. Terrific effort for the goal and even better setup after corner for Morata 1 on 1 that he completely wasted.

Bale works with very few touches in buildup and can't play in tight spaces. His impact is only in direct/pacy counters, crossing in the final third, or blasting in shots with that left foot of his. As a holistic player he isn't the most involved or impacting for RM, but he really is quite a weapon.

Come on Wolfe, you call playing Schalke tough?

Well said, Don!
