Their quality in the bench is frightening.

Isco,Asensio,Kovacic...we let them go away....SAD

Asensio was the one big mistake, Isco has moved in a summer that we spent all transfer budget in Neymar, Kovacic we made offer that was rejected by Inter in 2014 and next year RM went all for him while we had the ban,wasn't a contest
But We had an agreement for Asensio and we backed down, that was huge mistake
And yeah,their bench is scary right now. One could hope that many players will move out and their replacements won't be as good

I really dont want to see Bale and Benzema starting another match this season, in Bales case, injuries will probably take care of that.
Ronaldo should be our actual striker, but give Morata minutes too.
Isco and Asensio must play more, especially Isco.

Oh, I was wondering how we missed on BOTH Isco & Kovacic. As for Asensio, he is an amazing talent as well.

Both Isco & Asensio have been immense whenever I watched them play. Sigh, it makes me depressed.

Real hardly dropped any points against smaller teams this season. And that's the difference. Barca were good enough in the big matches and extremely poor in away games against teams in the bottom of the table.

And that is likely what will cost us the league title. Those failures such as the ones against Deportivo and Malaga.

Just saw a post elsewhere that RM saved 17 points this season from goals in the last 10 minutes

- 81st minute goal from Kroos to give RM a 2-1 win over Celta
- 83rd minute goal from Morata to give RM a 2-1 win over Athletic Bilbao
- 90th minute goal from Ramos to give RM a 1-1 draw with Barca
- 84th minute goal from Mariano and 92nd minute goal from Ramos to beat Depor 3-2
- 83rd minute goal from Morata to give RM a 3-2 win over Villareal
- 86th and 89th minute goals from Ronaldo to give RM a 3-3 draw with Las Palmas
- 81st minute goal from Ramos to give RM a 2-1 win over Betis
- 90th minute goal from Isco to give RM a 3-2 win over Gijon
- 86th minute goal from Marcelo to give RM a 2-1 win over Valencia

On the other hand, 7 points out of 21 lost points are from goals in last 10 minutes:

- Ramos own goal in 85th minute and Jovetic goal in 90th minute against Sevilla to lose 2-1
- Griezmann goal in 85th minute to get 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid
- Messi goal in 92nd minute to give Barca 3-2 win

Best match of the season, or very close to it.
Great from start to finish, other than Benzema, everyone played well.

Could be.
You wouldn't have been here if it weren't for daylight robbery against Bayern though.

I feel like laughing after watching some Barca fan drop to their knees for Madrid just 2 weeks after that Bayern match and only 10 days after Barca beaten them at Bernabeu.

Best midfielder around
They will overshadow our golden era completely with their back-to-back CL trophies whether we like to admit it or not. Not to mention, 3 CLs in four years. Just unbelievable.

Agree or disagree they are currently the best team in the world.
Very close to our 2014/5 treble team

Their play is very fluid, Rinaldo doesn't even have to do too much, the team is well worked out to find him

Even in the game Vs Bayern where the referee was controversial:
RM: gifted two offside, one red for Vidal, not given red for Casemiro
Bayern: offside goal, unfair penalty against Carvajal

They were clearly the better team, with 26 shots 13 on target.
Neur was making saves left right and center, before and after referee mistakes
Mean while Bayern had only one shot on target to show for it


Even in el classico it needed Messi to have his best game, and Ter Stegen needed to make LA Liga record number of saves for them to lose



They are the best for now,


We should sign players who will help Messi.
Players in the mould of Kroos, Modric


But Barca fans somehow want wingers to come play for our midfield.


Let's see how this window goes


It will be crucial
