I don't like this sub from Flick, we won't be able to hold onto the ball without Yamal and Pedri.

 

[Savi]

Ferran and Olmo

great call lol

 

[luiginb]

great call lol

I can't believe I'm saying this but the way Ferran's been finishing lately Lewandowski should look over his shoulder lol

And it's obvious Olmo should start in that number 10 position when fully fit, he's better than Fermin or Gavi there.

Great game by the usual suspects in Yamal and Raphinha, and also Cubarsi at the back.

One of those wins they needed to ground out and that you need if you’re going to challenge for the league. Biggest issue was the team lacking width today. Yamal in particular too far inside and the fullbacks didn’t provide anything out wide. In the end two well taken goals.

I'd keep the same team on to start the second but if we don't score soon I'd take out Lewandowski and Fermin for Ferran and Olmo

I went out for lunch and was watching the match on my iPad until I was done at about the 30th minute and felt the exact same about Fermin going off and Olmo coming on. Don’t see Fermin scoring that first goal.

As for your other post, I think Flick wants to start Olmo, but he just didn’t think he’s ready just yet. Agree though, he needs to start when he’s ready.

Refs would probably get more respect if they did a better job at protecting the players, Yamal stomped on in a clear yellow card challenge and refs waves play on.

Now Yamal assists Olmo for a well deserved goal.

First 20 seconds in one of their players grabs Yamal arm and then Moleiro gives him a big shirt pull and nothing.

This was the result of the play I was talking about:



The ref was 3 metres away, the lines woman the same, so they had two angles, too bad they were both blind as a bat. But they came out before the game with the "respect referees, respect football" banner...

Alaba starts for RM for the first time in ages.

 

[gary69]

Modric's pretty long shot makes it 1-0 few mins before half-time. Oldest goal scorer in RM's history.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Dat strike by Luka. Wow.

Girona are way too bad to cause any problems to Real, they had a couple decent chances, but let's be honest no team starting Daley Blind in 2025 is stopping Real at the Bernabeu

 

[les Habs]

A player I can't name or I'll have some agenda that nobody knows had an assist before getting sent off.

Girona aren't remotely the team they were last season, but that's to be expected with the departures they had and not like replacements.

 

[les Habs]

Late equalizer for Mallorca that had been coming as they were putting Sevilla under a lot of pressure. Good to see them keep Sevilla from the win.

 

[koyvoo]

Atletico go up in the first minute

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

The kid should stay in Barcelona. Laporta needs to figure it out and buy Alvarez

Jesus 2-0 do they know the game started?

Kounde lazy pass and frenkie far too weak

 

[koyvoo]

2-0 in the fifth minute. Griez turned back the clock on that one

 

[Jack Straw]

Not the greatest start by Barca

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Griezmann and Alvarez together are just sex really.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Woah

 

[gary69]

Quicky back to 2-2, Cubarsi involved in both goals.

 

[koyvoo]

Game is gonna end 5-4, isn’t it?

 

[Jack Straw]

Fun game so far. Lol

Game is gonna end 5-4, isn’t it?

Game or first half?

 

[luiginb]

Griezmann and Alvarez together are just sex really.

Pedri and Cubarsi are sexier.

When we play like this we're the best team in the world.

 

[gary69]

Game or first half?

Not quite there yet, but getting closer. Turnaround complete.

 

[luiginb]

With all the talk for Salah as best player of 2025, I feel Raphinha should get more love.

 

[luiginb]

I feel bad for Javi Galan man, this is the kind of game where you just wish it ends

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

That high line hasn’t been at its best today. Atleti are timing their runs well.
