Madrid for me when they turn it on are the best side in Europe out of the teams I see. I don't know if bayern have a higher level but I don't think any other team does.
 
I don't know why United fans think there's a chance you'll get Varane.
 
Guys I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but that Varane kid is fast.
 
Varane is a monster. Can we kidnap him? But the kidnapper has to be really really fast.
 
Real have had many opportunities and towards the end Benzema showed he is a good player but also limited, he should have shot it instead of trying a weird pass to Ronaldo. Atletico are horrible, so limited as a team, set pieces are their only chance.
 
That faux analysis of the pub football goal from Nev and Redknapp is so ridiculously cringeworthy.

Doubt very much that had anything to do with any sort of "limitations" and rather with not wanting to risk a frustrated Cristiano if he had missed, because Benzema is certainly more than techically capable of hitting that first time.
 
Atletico are horrible. Loud cheering when they kick a ball out of the stadium. You'd think they witnessed griezmann nutmegging Ronaldo messi-milner style. Disgusting team.
 
Madrid have been superb but Atletico have been equally awful, unable to string simple passes together

It is a limitation when he doesn't have the courage to take his chance when he is better placed than Ronaldo instead of making the pass. He sometimes does it too with the national team and there ain't no Ronaldo around, he's just too selfless at times.
 
I'm flicking between these two games and it's like watching a who's who of a United transfer muppet's wet dream!

Varane, Bale, Ronaldo, Modric, Kroos, Godin, Miranda, Turan, Koke, Kondogbia, Vidal, Marchisio, Carrasco, Pirlo... well ok... maybe that last one is just me!

Vidal looking as sharp and hungry as old. Shocking composure at the end there. Some pass from Tevez in fairness.
 
Still shows 4 players in front of the ball:

"all 10 players plus the keeper behind the ball"
