What on earth is going on at the Camp Nou? Not watching so would genuinely like a run of how the game has gone. Are they unfortunate (ie one of those games) or is it deserved?
 
Terrible ending for Enrique in Camp Nou. Not the best match to say Goodbye to him.
 
Well,finally we can forget the 1 liga in 7 years. It's the first time that Madrid score in all the games in a liga.
I think that they'll go to Cibeles tonight.
And I will go to write rubbish to Sport and Marca :drool:

If that's true the bench players wouldn't have been in a great form as they are now. If he's overusing the starters the bench players would have been dead on form already, but Madrid reached a point when Zidane could play some bench players against Seville and still win easily. This a manager's job.



True they have the best depth in their squad in the world, but without a manager successful in using this depth to the max it's of no use. Don't like the idea of downplaying of manager's role in a team success tbh. If the manager's to take the blame for a failure, he must take credit for the success, if you want to be fair.



Didn't compare him to SAF directly, that's madness to do. My point was SAF was a masterclass in using his squad depth to the max. His rotation was beyond perfect, the best I have ever seen that kept United in the important competitions till last day, that made United the most successful in boxing day in the most congested period of the season while the other clubs were losing points. Since his retirement, I didn't really saw any manager that can use his squad depth to the max as Zidane. If the whole squad is ready to play and fight and all in the form, that's a manager job. He's sure lucky to have such a squad depth any team will dream of, but you need a clever enough manager to use all of these great players together.

Enrique took the credit for the 2015 incredible year just as much as he took the blame this season. Zidane and any manager should be judged based on this. Zidane currently deserve all the credit. One or 2 bad games won't change a perfect season. When he passes through a meltdown as Enrique, we can blame him as we want.

Well, we're not going to get on the same page, you think that Zidane has managed well his squad minutes to keep the subs in perfect form, I think the subs are in perfect form because injuries/sanctions happened and that gave them enougn minutes to not be totally disconnected in this final part of the season. At times it looked like he was holding back some sub players because he has to play important games with the 433BBC not matter what.

Time and future seasons will tell if Zidane has the ability to create this team momentum with his decisions, of if it was circumstances out of his control what helped him get of the mess managing a squad this deep could be

Is not as bad considering this has been between the most successful era for Barcelona. In the last ten seasons we're something like 6 leagues from Barcelona against 4 of Real Madrid (counting this one of course :drool:).

Well I agree on the point of future will tell. At the moment he deserves credit imo. I have to admit he was one of most favorite players ever so I wish him all success tbh.
 
If he scores will he lift up his Real shirt to unveil a Utd one?
 
Real are going to make a FORTUNE this summer. I was totally anti James, but I think if any of those cast offs want to come feck it spend the money.

I'm counting since 2006-2007 which Real Madrid won, so in total it would be eleven seasons counting this one) but since 2000 Barcelona has won 8 leagues and Real Madrid 6.They have won more lately but like I said it isn't a huge difference.
 
Messi doesn't convert his penalty. Wasn't a penalty anyway so justice is done.
