La liga 2021/22

Game within the game, pay attention to Mateu Lahoz. The most lunatic, incoherent ref in the sport :lol:
 
Question to resident Real fans. Why are the seats at the Bernabeu still covered in this ugly blue mat?
Not a Real fan but I’ll take it. As you may know, Madrid is in the process of rebuilding its stadium. I’m pretty sure that they might be working on the new fancy elevator system for their pitch.
 
'Cause the stadium is undergoing renovations

Ta, did think the works were done. Didn’t they start over a year ago? Dragging their feet a bit….

It's a €900m job. It's gonna take a few years to complete...they're basically rebuilding it without first tearing it down
 
Vinicius and Benzema is such a lethal combo this season

We’ve come such a long way!

Vinicius deserves all the credit in the world for becoming such an outstanding player this season. However, he was horrendous last year & ruined Real Madrid's attack several times due to his poor decision making. I understand Benzema's frustration.
 
The dream subbed :(

Out griezmann and carrasco for joao felix and lemar too

Jovic for us
 
Did Benzema aggravate his injury ? Key for Madrid this season is to keep Benzema fit.
 
For the good of football somebody needs to get Joao Felix away from that mob
 
SEE?!?!?? FECKING SHOOT YOU FECKER!!@
 
Vini still makes some horrific mistakes in possession, bad, sloppy passes, and his touch can still be somewhat erratic at times...all fairly normal for a 21 year old

But damn if he hasn't turned into one of the most decisive players in the world
 
Kross disarms pressing with his feet AND his head. Amazing player
 
Also Militao is fan-fecking-tastic and we just completely blew an offside trap and they fecked up a huge chance :lol:
 
Atletico has outran and outhustled Madrid but the difference in quality with the ball at their feet is astonishing. Kroos and Modric just manage to disarm their press so efficiently.

Militao has turned into a beast.
 
Man im not a madrid fan but i love that they play this good. I love their final boss vibe you get when you meet them in the champions league play offs
 
Shocking from Atletico this season which is very disappointing given the squad and winning the league last year. Real are just so far ahead. Sevilla will be the closest contender and I think Atletico will be fighting for third with Betis.
 
I still wouldn’t fancy A Madrid in the draw tomorrow , the game could be a lot different only for a few decent saves from
Courtois
 
We've taken the hands off the wheel too early :nervous:

Btw wasn't convinced at first but Courtois was an awesome signing

Agree and it's what I wrote in the thread concerning our rivals in the CL. Our midfield is not as press resistant as Kroos/Modric are.
 
Needs to be said, them lot are missing Gimenez and Savic. Had to play Kondogbia at CB
 
Luka Modric, 36 years old, still the best player on the pitch in a madrid derby
 
Can you see Jović getting more minutes and actually doing something for the team in near future?

No, unless Benzema or Vinicius has a major injury. If he wants to make an impact it needs to happen now but still with every madridista salivating over Mbappe he's in a very though spot.

Eh. Difficult because Benzema is the 3rd best player in the world. He's not been bad in the last few games though, so maybe?
 
Great game by Vini, what a turnaround he's made this season.
 
That's just hindsight 20/20. In the following years after Cristiano's departure from Man United, Rooney became a full-fledged world class striker while Benzema was a back-up to Higuain and Mourinho even called him a cat.

I'm sure you are the people being happy for missing out Benzema until Rooney fell off a cliff before he was 30.

Higuan left Real Madrid cause his performances in Championship League were rubbish, and the partnership Cristiano+Benzema proved to be better than Cristiano+Higuain, as Higuaín is inferior to Benzema as a playmaker.

Higuan was always rubbish in CL knock outs, even for Juventus and Napoli, not just Real Madrid....hell, even Morata did more for Juve in CL than Higuaín.
