Glad the unbeaten streak lives on but they really needed to close the gap today. everyone I mentioned earlier struggled or was outright poor today. Team needs to get healthy quickly if they’re gonna have any shot of hanging in the title race.
remarkable how close it is given the injuries and seeming fact that the half the XI that isn’t hurt is in dogshit form
So true. They seem to do just enough to grind out results despite being largely outplayed or just looking like garbage for long stretches at a time.
it's the mockup FH made based on the leaked info from their sources. They're usually pretty accurate but it’s still subject to change up until it’s announced in May. The swirl pattern is supposed to represent the waters of Cibeles, the giant fountain the team goes to when they celebrate each title. I like the colored version even better.
There’s still next to a 0% chance that they win anything this season but if they do it’ll be largely because Benzema has carried them on his shoulders.
Oh you've seen this same song and dance many times before: Lazy, lackadaisical effort and little creativity leading to no serious scoring threats. Dominate possession but give up a goal thanks to shit defending on a set piece/counter. Claw back and do just enough to find an equalizer but instead of pissing away 2 points to a team fighting to avoid regulation Benzema fired a volley into the net in stoppage time save their asses yet again.
I'm not following this season closely, but I wonder what position RMA would be in the table without him, basically his WAR
Seeing as how the next highest scorers on the team (behind his 20) are a defensive midfielder and center back with 4 each it’s not a stretch to say it’d be out of a European spot and prob close to mid table.
Hazard biggest bust in recent memory. Sucks that it’s injury related but he hasn’t helped matters by coming out of shape every pre season and not being a true game changer when he’s been healthy.
No Casemiro today means we probably see some hybrid 4-2-3-1 with Valverde & Kroos sitting deep to protect. An early goal would be swell.
Lucky Vini to get fouled. What a moronic move by this Atalanta guy considering the odds he puts it on frame.
for everyone out there, that was one of the better performances in a while nice to have guys finally getting healthy too
Loving Odegaard, end product is kinda shit but so smooth and does the little things well Ceballos is very talented but he’s dumb and doesn’t have a position. Kinda like a false 10 like Kroos but far inferior Have a lovely night and hopefully sell us Odegaard
They drew Liverpool in the quarters. If they advance they get the winner of Chelsea/Porto so the path to the final is about as friendly as possible given the remaining teams.
also I can’t stress enough how bad of an idea it is to get married at 22, ESPECIALLY as a wealthy, world class athlete (and extra especially to anything less than an absolute 10) but props to Lunin for not giving a solitary fuck and just doing it in sweats
