    League done, in my opinion.

  • BodaciousBeez👤1214 hours ago

    Bruh you’re supposed to win every game until the clásico so we can with La Liga(again) in your face in front of our aficionado.

    • Hambrailaaah512 hours ago

      Expect major ref robberies to to keep Madrid in the run until the classico for TV ratings

  • _ashwathama1415 hours ago

    I don’t know why but vini doesn’t pass, he beat his man not once but twice but still doesn’t cross!!

    Arbeola after the game: “It’s my fault we dropped points”

    • Dunkjoe👤110 hours ago

      He knows that there is no difference whether he takes responsibility or not… Lol. The management values the players, not the manager in RM.

      So taking responsibility makes him look selfless and “taking one for the team”.

    • MentionOk9020👤312 hours ago

      Bro was hired to be a scapegoat

  • michaeltheki211515 hours ago

    The biggest problem with this Real team is not the lack of synergy in attack or their lack of tactics which are glaring, but it’s their lack of their playmaker, the Luka Modric, the Iniesta, the De Bruyne.

    It’s the opposite of the makalele situation, nowadays they have 3 makaleles, but no Zidane , David Beckham. Big big mistake in the squad planning department.

    • CR7_LM10715 hours ago

      It’s true that we are missing a player of that profile but that wouldn’t fix much

      Just look at gironas goal wtf was the midfield doing???

    • Popular_Pie_3347👤1315 hours ago

      Jude is supposed to be that even though that’s not his profile but for a ballon dor level guy two years ago you would expect him to grow into that sort of a role

      • leytonstoneb1015 hours ago

        I’d argue that role is supposed to be Guler not Jude

      • michaeltheki21615 hours ago

        Jude is just not a playmaker I don’t even know what he is as a midfielder, obviously he is really good, talented on the ball, can shoot well. But he doesn’t have the killer pass.

    • Snickeeeeers80415 hours ago

      The biggest problem is that we fucking SUCK , tbh.

    Real Madrid the last 3 games since Mbappe returned = 0 wins.

    • BodaciousBeez👤513 hours ago

      This is honestly concerning. Up until these last two games, I thought it just purely correlation and chance. But it’s been too many instances to be coincidence.

  • trayzortrackz1115 hours ago

    Girona took 4 points off Real Madrid this season. (They took 6 off of us 2 seasons ago but the less said about that, the better.)

    • planinsky615 hours ago

      We also took 3 from you ;)

      • emvipi06 hours ago

        Huge 3 to cut the lead to 38pts

      • trayzortrackz-1615 hours ago

        No you didn’t, VAR did.

  • slnsk1815 hours ago

    Vini is the only player in the league that can complain, sarcastically clap, wave his arms around and dive all game without seeing a yellow card. I remember when Fekir played for us, he was a very belligerent player as well, and he was constantly carded and even sent off. There’s a double standard for Madrid/Barça and the rest of the league and it’s been this way forever. It’s tiring to see those two teams cry about how much the refs hate them while the rest of us here look on beaten down and puzzled.

    • SecretAttention3700👤1115 hours ago

      You see Vini doesn’t touch his nose so it’s alright.

  • KnightAtNight1015 hours ago

    • HenryReturns👤415 hours ago

      Please tell Upamecano to stop brian farting and knock them out on Wednesday. You guys are in prime position to knock them out since 2012.

      Hopefully Gnabry and any player who goes into the box practice finishing drills lol

      • KnightAtNight315 hours ago

        I just want Upamecano to not get a stupid red card, that’s all i want

        This is not Cristiano madrid. This Madrid is ass

  • Inevitable-Put-565815 hours ago

    Yeah we have to get a result against these guys on the last day 

    • Snickeeeeers80415 hours ago

      We’d have probably sealed the league win already by then so you can play castilla kids 😎✌🏽✌🏽

    Don’t know who fixes this mess for Madrid. The squad is talented but heavily unbalanced.

    • Dunkjoe👤210 hours ago

    • michaeltheki21814 hours ago

      I’m praying hard for a Madrid banter era.

    • CR7_LM10115 hours ago

      Don’t really have any hopes that someone can fix this mess, no coach has a saying here in transfers

    • Any_Analyst_9316👤115 hours ago

      Tbh I feel like in normal league games the midfield doesn’t show that urgency to win back the ball they let the opponent to come through on them and that’s why they concede,maybe it was because the team looked absolutely flabbergasted after bayern also camavinga did a horrible job as cdm also without trent there are not enough attacks from right side and what was that pass from Bellingham bruh there were no defenders,with cama as cdm against bayern our ucl run is over,hoping perez does smth for our right side and cb spot next season

    Something is so fucking off with the mentality of this group. And they chase off Xabi when he comes and put some demands from the players.

    What a diva group

    • anelenrique10515 hours ago

      r/soccer loves acting like xabi had this team playing this fluid, impressive, beautiful, so organized and technical football when in reality they were playing not much different than this

      • LateCumback17 hours ago

        fluid, impressive, beautiful, so organized and technical football

        He was a project. The last guy did get some huge trophies but often the teams identity was Courtois - Modric/Kroos - knockout blows in 8 minutes of intensity. Carlo often was scraping the 910 questions on the paper and the 10th one counted for the A and aced that one. Lost the league a few times to Barca in a period that they where were in turmoil.

        Xabi was or should have been a project. Play some pragmatic football but try and build your identity over time.

      • Time_Entertainer_319👤714 hours ago

        You literally had a record breaking start to the season and won your first Classico.

        Before you say “we lost big games”, I would remind you that you win laliga by beating the small teams, not the big teams.

        • anelenrique10-114 hours ago

          i would say you win by winning both, but you sound confident.

      • michaeltheki21414 hours ago

        Well he had like what 5 months lol?? Maybe give your coach more then that to instill his playstyle? Especially after what he did before.

        • anelenrique10-314 hours ago

          I apologize but coming from your flair its hard to take your comment as anything but sarcasm

          • michaeltheki21314 hours ago

            Nah I just think the whole club miss handled the Xavi situation so bad, you were twerking for him for a year, and then it doesn’t instantly work out and he gets the boot. Madrid Always looks for success instantly that’s why coaches just don’t survive.

      • Alarmed-Television68215 hours ago

        Biggest diffrence is mbappe was the best player itw back then, now he is mid like the rest of the attack

    why are they fighting that corner??? its not gonna change anything

  • davesoutside👤1115 hours ago

    Season was over when they sacked Alonso

    • Unfair_Dish_6978👤415 hours ago

      Eh madrid werent playing any better under him.

      • davesoutside👤415 hours ago

        True, but he had a system and a project. Also had the balls to bench Vinicius

        • Unfair_Dish_6978👤315 hours ago

          Thats the thing he had the balls to bench vinicius a couple of times but everything fell out after he relised not only he couldnt do that but it really changes nothing. He tried multiple formations and systems nothing could work too well, this squad is too malformed, it was neither his fault nor its arbeloas.

    • planinsky215 hours ago

      I am not sure … Arbeloa’s Madrid gave us a harder time than Xabi’s. Though today we played away 

      😎

    • GrosBraquet👤215 hours ago

      Especially if they had no better replacement than Arbeloa. Like … you can’t possibly argue they improved since Alonso left.

  • GrosBraquet👤1215 hours ago

    This thread shows how impossible it has become to discuss football on the internet. Half of the people saying Mbappé is a dirty diver and the other half that it’s a clear pen. Lol.

    • Intelligent-Egg1864515 hours ago

      Yeah. It’s Madrid fans on one side and haters on the other mostly. Personally I didn’t think it was a pen, but I would understand if the ref calls it.

    • undercover-_-👤115 hours ago

      It is a foul and mbappe added the dive to it. People don’t give objective analysis, they just either hate or support

      • GrosBraquet👤515 hours ago

        Yeah. Personally I’m undecided whether it was a pen or not. Mbappé kind of milks it, then again the other guy barges into him a bit and sticks the arm out. But like … at worst it’s not a pen but Mbappé definitely didn’t dive lol.

    • Sensitive_Ad788👤-415 hours ago

      More like almost everyone says Mbappe is a dirty diver except ofc madrid fans and I dont think half the people in this group are RM fans.

      • GrosBraquet👤415 hours ago

        Thanks for illustrating my point. As a neutral I’m undecided of whether it was a pen or not, but to call that a dive by Mbappé is just bad faith. Takes an elbow to his face lol.

        • Sensitive_Ad788👤015 hours ago

          Oh I also think that, its not a dive but a clear case of misfortune but is that a pen ? No def not. There are other instances where mbappe actually dives and u dont have to dive every single time to ve called a dirty diver.

    • pain_au_choc0👤115 hours ago

      I don’t like how he is begging for pens, he and vini as well. I don’t like how RM is playing as a fan of 20years, but that was a clear pen ;)

    • gbassman420🇨🇴115 hours ago

      He didn’t dive, but I’m much too partisan to think it was a pen

  • jcald60715 hours ago

    Arbeloa can give camavinga a box of donuts to reward him another dogshit performance and a giving the opposition another rla liga costing goal.

    What a fucking fraud managed to turn this into a 10 point lead for barcelona

    • Morello210215 hours ago

      You mean Mbappe? or VInicius? or Rudiger?

      • cdwdj315 hours ago

        I meant Vinicius but the fact you could technically say it about more than one of their players is worrying

        awww why u coping so much?? lmaoo

  • alexthedude23615 hours ago

    Hit Mbappe in the face? Nothing.

    Hit Fran with an elbow to the head? Nothing.

    Hit Vini in the face? Foul by Vini.

    Pretend to get hit in the face by Mbappe? Yellow to Mbappe.

    This sub: why do the refs help Real so much?

    • Globally__offensive👤115 hours ago

      • jcald60115 hours ago

        That explains Vini’s dogshit attitude and drop in form? Camavinga being shit? Carreras stinkers? How bad the defense is?

        Why does arbeloa wait till minute 80 to make a real sub that is not defensive.

        Stop with the bs narrative the team is just fucking shit only courtois, valverde and tchouameni have been decent this past year

        elbow in the face is a foul everywhere else on the pitch

          Depends if you run into that elbow or you get hit by it

            Nothing to do with reading comprehension here you bum, sto grasping at straws lmfao

            All you said was to contact an eye doctor, you didn’t specify for whom.
