Real Madrid

Brilliant watching Lucas TRASHquez in that fullback role. Getting cooked, time after time.

Performing in a way that would make Sergi Roberto proud.
Ironically he's their only Spanish player in starting eleven. And considering how finished he is no doubt he'll get pushed by a brand new galactico maybe as soon as January. Then Madrid, a Spanish club, will not have a single Spaniard in their starting eleven

Perhaps they will push hard to get Rodri. Other than him I don't see a lot of good Spaniards available. Maybe Laporte as cheap option for CB.

If Madrid keeps flopping I suspect this 0 Spaniard thing will be talked about more and more in Spanish media and force them to react.

Finished to the core. Next banter era loading

When was the last time we saw such a tremendous drop off in team performances in just 1 season? This is crazy

I had a feeling something like this might happen when they signed Mbappe. Their main problem is departure of Toni Kroos and side role of Modrić. They are on Galacticos again wich didn't turned out well in the past. When you have a team worth billions and they are getting raped by under age kids from Barca..

Maybe they will try to buy out Illarramendi, or is it Zubimendi or whatever.

The 11 is dysfunctional, but things can change quickly with some tweaks, intensity and cohesion. With Xabi having second season growing pains it may even be a case of trying to get him sooner than later.

Also Ancelotti looks stressed, I've never seen him chew gum so quick.

Even there so called galactico’s aren’t really as good as made out. They’ve had far more in individually talented squads in the past than now.

Plus they got a lot of players that are rated purely because they wear a Madrid shirt. Prime example of that is Militao. Got called a top 5 defender even in this forum, reality is, he’s bang average.

Come on militao isn't average, he's coming back from a long term injury.

The players people thought were talented are in fact very talented, but they missed kroos and modric.

It's when Perez looked at Barcelona and said we need midfielders like those, that things started to turn around for Madrid.

He seems to have forgotten that and return to his old ways.

That and barto of course

He’s bang average in my opinion mate. I was never keen on him pre injury either by the way. Thought he looked quite promising at Porto and had a good patch in Real but he’s never kicked on. Now he’s just all over the place.

Expected problems for Real Madrid, especially in terms of working without the ball.

We had about the same situation with Suarez and Messi. This problem became more acute when Suarez became lazy wihtout the ball after 2016.

Lol Illaramendi, there's a blast from the past.
