Penal Madrid

I'm not afraid of James' freekicks. Ronaldo will take all of them anyway and hit the wall (claiming handball afterwards) or blast them in the second tier.

Ronaldo often gives away free kicks to Bale, in positions that strongly favors left foots. It has become somewhat of a myth that Ronaldo takes all of them. The thing is, Marcelo and Ronaldo gets fouled alot more than Bale/Carvajal, so there is more free kicks on positions that favors right foots than left.

Ronaldo had a really nice FK attempt that was punched out by Handanovic yesterday.

Don't know if it's more of RM impotence in attack or Mihajlović has instilled some decent defensive mentality in this Milan side.

OOO what a play from Isco just now to cross it to Cristiano.

How is Modric playing? I read that he has De Jong marking him.

Subbed at half time. It was a really boring game cuz it's stupidly humid. The only thing that stood out was poor defense by Danilo on the right side, but otherwise it was a borefest.

Just noticed Isco changed to #22 so Danilo can wear #23.

Real Madrid is playing well in the 2nd half so far.

Damn Wolfe you guys have a lot of depth and young players.

Benitez is surprising many people with his team management and bench incorporation. On the face of it, he is very well on course to correct many mistakes Carlo made last year.

Illarra barely getting any minutes this pre-season. Casemiro likely to play full 90 tonight as the only starter remaining. Wonder if they've given up on him yet.

That dribbling by Kroos.....

I have never seen him doing that before...

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Did James gain some weight btw? Looks more muscular. Already had that impression in the game vs Inter.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Bacca...

San Kiko? What a save. Second one of the game.

Yeah, I guess when you have Casilla in your name you are good at stopping shots.

He has to be one of very few Catalans playing for Real Madrid, right?
