2nd leg against bayern will be a good game.......expect real madrid to go out attacking like nobody's business....

on the other hand, judging by the game last night, the game against barcelona this saturday is all but lost.............defending was horrendous especially coentrao in the last minute. he does have the tendency to tackle but come up with nothing. but it was not all his fault, as marcelo was brought in to keep lahm occupied but failed at that in the last minute.

sergio ramos is a bit frustrating for me. he was all class when first switched to centre back, but not anymore.

the wings on this bayern team is really really good. that said, real madrid were lethargic against their wings, and they must improve in the 2nd leg, which i am sure they will.

Marcelo will miss the 2nd leg if I'm not mistaken.

Anyway, very little to talk about the match since Mou have decided to sit back after the goal. We gave them space, we gave away possession eventually, they will score.

But we got the all important away goal and there'll be no other option other than to attack and win.

Vamos Real! Hasta El Final~

Now, Barca's next~

yo i watched the game yesterday ...i dunno if u feel the way i am but i realise real madrid doesnt play very fluent against better teams. a lot of times they just try to "force" it in........previously i watched against barcelona...also same. and i realise sergio ramos and pepe are somewhat hot tempered that always cause them to lose concentration.

put in kaka la..theres a big gap between alonso n ronaldo, thats where u need kaka to link up..last night they keep give a long ball which is 80% useless...haizzz

i thought makelele could turn better and not as sluggish. xabi's mobility, or should i say agility, is very limited. a bit like andrea pirlo, but pirlo is a class act now in juventus.

i hope you lot can rough up uefalona tonight, make things easier for real madrid in the classico. in return, we can rough them up in the weekend to your advantage in the chelsea vs uefalona 2nd leg......

and if real madrid is trumped by bayern in the 2nd leg, you lot have my support/blessing/prayers to screw them too in the final.......

Added on April 18, 2012, 4:19 pm that is right........instead of ozil. ozil have the tendency to go sideways while i think kaka is more goalwards

Both actually done the same. Pressed, scored and then defended. But we, defender poorly and conceded again.
Kaka would've and could've made the difference had he been subbed in for Ozil or Maria. But, Mou want to hold on to the 1-1 scoreline after he saw Bayern started to pressure. He gambled and failed.

I don't know why and what was the sub was needed for. Our 1st player carded right after the goal was scored. So, that means, we were comfortable with our gameplay at that moment, before the goal. After the goal, we gave them space and we tried to defend, our players were carded, like 6 of them. Can't he see the pattern. Ozil/Kaka were crucial in a battle of 4-2-3-1 vs 4-2-3-1 because the one in the middle is the one connects front and back, left and right. Taking the character our is suicidal and we did just that.

So seriously hope Mourinho can learn from this and bounce back 7 days from now~

Do u guys think di maria can become as good as CR7 in future? He's as talented as him. As fast and as skillful as him as well. Well what do u guys think? I still prefer him over david silva.

not a chance.. CR9 waaayyyy better, Di Maria IMO is just a step above average player. if given a choice.. i would take david silva anyday..

Really? But i thought we had the chance to sign silva. But opted for di maria instead? I'm sure silva would choose us instead of man city. From what i see, angel di maria overall is a better player than david silva. He's pace-ier, quicker, more skillful, finishing wise i still think di maria is better. Silva is more towards technical. Makes a lot of assists. But di maria has a lot of assists as well! Sorry, i don't really know how to "rate" a player. Maybe most of my terms are wrong. Maybe verx can give us his valuable opinions!

One nice video on di maria

Though I'm really fond of Di Maria before his injury,in a team like Madrid, I think Silva suits better. But, it's a lost cause to be talking about it anymore. Di Maria is getting better and better and right now, he's still trying to find his rhythm and once he's there, everybody will forget about Silva.

But Di maria is really fast when he runs with the ball. David silva wise, a little slower. Of course he has great control with the ball. But when it comes to counter attacking i'm sure u wanna see di maria ...heheheh

i wont surprise if david silva become real madrid player(again) sooner or later
but at the moment, im happy with di maria

he lead assists provide in the league before his injury
then only ozil overtake him

Get sergio aguero? heheheh. But if only higuain leaves(there's rumours him leaving right)?

i dont want higuain to leave
he's a vice-vice-vice captain for crying out loud
after ramos and marcelo

His father is the one who does all this talk about his transfer. For me, like Raul88 said, he's one of the vice captain and he fights for the shirt. Regardless what future holds, I'm proud to have a player like him played for us.

Aguero, a player who mocked and bad mouthed Real Madrid when he was playing for Atletico. No doubt that he's a talent but I prefer Higuain over him any day.

Agreed.. Higuan>Aguero.. nuff said..

Barca lost to Chelsea...

It seems we gt better chance of qualiflying than them

Sad week for spain. LoL, maybe Bilbao can save us the embarrassment. But i beg to differ, as far as i know bayern did deservedly win, and barca definitely did not deserve to lose to chelsea. [I might be biased ]

For once i have to agree with u.... Chelsea parked the bus and rode their luck many times....

Last year , wen Madrid played the same way at the Bernabeu all the pundits critized us for the performance...

But yestde semua puji Chelsea pulak....WTF

I guess it comes to the result end of the day.... Nothing else matters......

same story when jose was a inter coach,ramai kutuk inter guna tactic park-the-bus..oh good old days
