Sounds like a plan for tuesday. He's clearly not good enough.
Zidane is doing a good job and not afraid of taking risks. Massive win today.
Also, Marcelo is so fecking good going forward. In terms of quick thinking and quality of ball there are few left backs better.
Everything was going down the Madrid left in that last 15.

Yeah, that really changed the game.
Isco was fecking everywhere though, completely bossed this game. Really disappointed with James and Asencio today.
With this result Depor and Málaga are in primera the next season
Actually Bale is injured (what a surprise) so Isco could play on tuesday.
I think he's the best at that, and by far. Slowed down a little at times this season, but when on song his importance to Real's creative play can't be overstated.
Unbelievable
These bastards just don't lose

This year they may even deserve the CL. A first for many years. 
A bit like United. Eh?
Now watch Rulli turn into prime Buffon against us.
Real are so bizarrely resilient these days.
*These bastards just don't draw
tell me again how didn't they deserve it in 2014? why do people assume that they only get weak ties for just one year out of eleven they've won the thing?This year they may even deserve the CL. A first for many years.
Isco is criminally underappreciated by Real. He should be starting.
and who would you sit?
They just keep believing, which is impressive to see. Zidane is the main reason. He might be the first coach to defend the UCL title as well...
Who would you sit? Is Bale injured, maybe he will get his place? Not been as impressed with Bale this season.
it's nuts, starting to believe it's really our year.Bale is not playing well, especially for the injury, but imagine that he had not been injured in Germany, and that he was available on Tuesday. I would sit him, and many other fans too, but it is not easy to sit players who have that "star level", especially in a match of that significance, it seems that you are pointing him.
The same with Morata, I do not remember a game in which he hasn´t scored, but at the moment of truth, he plays against Sporting and Karim against Bayern, by hierarchy, veterany in the locker room, or simply by his name.
The same with Cristiano, he has had very bad games, but who has the balls to sit him in the half time to give minutes to someone else.
If you win the league and CL then that policy will be proved correct. It seems unfair but is working. It seems a shame that Spanish players are the ones who get shunted aside.
if he had scored that...
Carrasco puts Atletico up against Osasuna.
James seems to play every Madrid game worried like it will be his last. He panics a bit too much on the ball and rushes things when he has lots of time & space.
Asencio was poor but I still rate him... I think Vazquez is your worst "regular" player by far. He doesn't seem to offer much at all.
1-0 Atletico at HT.
Sirigu with two brilliant penalty saves in 2 minutes.
Paco Alcacer upfront and André Gomes starting, from instance I thought they weren't resting many players for the returning leg against Juventus but I guess there isn't much squad depth nowadays and they have a better chance clinging to the league.
3-0 FT for Atletico. Now Barca.
What a finish from Messi!
Lovely goal for Messi.
Messi has decided to play today.
1-0 Messi
That was a gorgeous finish.
Perfect finish!
Calamity defending from Sociedad. Messi with his 2nd.
