"Fail" means not winning?

And who will replace him?

I don't see it happening.

 

[Ursegor]

Both goals conceded had nothing to do with their lack of a proper CDM.

The second was a textbook example even.

Just lovely to see them fail, buy all the expensive chips but still end up short


Sweet Sweet joy

How so? Wasn't that initiated by a throw-in?

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

I think Real has done great so far. They sold so many shirts, it is unbelievable.

Sure. Here is the scene again from 2:09 onwards:

It begins with Kroos failing to win the ball back vs. Griezmann. Alonso would foul him if nothing else but never let him walk away so easily after sticking the leg out once. At the same time Modric has no awareness whatsoever what's behind him and that Arda is completely unmarked with no one picking him up. Isco is just attacking whoever has the ball, in this case Griezmann after Kroos fails to win the ball back, meanwhile letting Juanfran unmarked.

There really is a difference between Kroos and Isco putting in a shift, which they are doing in fairness, and a dedicated defensive specialist who knows what he's doing with a trained defender's mindset, i. e. fouling if necessary, reading the game properly and so on.

Not really. Any player should be aware of that even forwards and especially a " mindfielder" for gods sake.

What are you refering to?

Mancini is a possible Carlo replacement according to Cadena Cope.

Man this circus is a joy to watch.

Cronaldo's elbow on Miranda:

I honestly don't think it's that bad, but it's still staggering just how many of these (and much, much worse) acts RM can get away with.

Really? I thought that was such a cunt move from Ronaldo. I hate petty aggression though I can understand why it happens. That being said, the Atleti center-backs are cunts too, so I'm not too sad they get a piece of their own medicine.

They are so stupid.
They finally managed to create a well balanced team, for the first time in 10 Seasons, and then they ruin it in 2 Months.

Maybe they will be smarter in 2024' when they will finally again win something.
Or let's hope they won't.

1 week. It was fucking 1 week that the team went from being the only team capable of winning the CL back to back to not winning anything.

Only team capable of winning CL back-to-back? I really disagree. Barca 2009 and Bayern 2013 were far more capable, let alone Barca 2011 which is the best team of the past 20 years. Your team was not that great last season. 2 minutes away from losing La Decima, Mkhitaryan fuck-ups from 5 yards from being knocked out in quarters and clearly third best team in the league. The Bayern wins were great tho, came out of nowhere. Your best team was clearly 2011/12 where you shouldn't have given away that shitty penalty to Gomez in the semis.

Asked my friend who is Real fan that who would replace Ancelotti and he said Roberto Di Matteo.
Don't know if he would be good option

This. I felt Real Madrid's CL trophy last season was certainly not as undeserving as Chelsea's in 2012, but not much better.
