Excellent first half. Cristiano looking better and isco the best player on the pitch so far. Zidane taking Simeone to school so far. We're out-atleticoing atletico :lol::lol::lol: great stuff, we must keep it up
Another Merengue! Welcome. We're taking over this place!
 
And of course now we went to sleep...typical:mad::mad:
 
Atl having their best spell of the game now after the half. Will Real regret not padding their great first half play with more goals.
 
Why does the commentator seem to think the Merseyside derby is anything special? It is utter shite given Everton pathetic inferiority to Liverpool (no win for Everton since 2010; no Everton win at Anfield since 1999!!) and he's listing it in comparison to this game, or to the Manchester derby :lol:
 
Madrid are being able of dominating the midfield playing with 3 ,something that lately never happened against Atlético. Isco is more vertical and Kovacic,although with some mistakes is keeping a good % of passes.
Gabi said some days ago that with Koke in the middle ,Atlético lose some consistency, I wonder if that´s the reason
edit: actually Lucas in playing on the right so is actually a 442

Maybe from a historic point? The Madrid derby was pretty awful most of the time with teams from different "galaxies" and still had some kind of hype
 
Gameiro and Correa for Torres and Gabi.

I'd never bet on that subs from Simeone

Well he did say something about the Manchester derby being a more recently important rivalry so maybe that's it, but still find it odd to list what must be the most one-sided derby in top flight football since Simeone turned Atletico around amongst the most emotional and competitive derbies in modern football.
 
Great game from Ronaldo so far against a big team, in a big game contrary to his main critique.
 
Laugh all you want but everyone has a deep love of United and the oppo fans that join up are the ones realising that love whether they know it or not.:p
Of course I wish you all the best in the English league :) and talking about the international level it´s good take the rivalry with humor.
 
Not enough has been said about that header from Varane to set up the penalty. Beast of a header.
 
Come on man, how is that not a pen

Well, Ronaldo pushes Savic, Savic falls trying to get the ball and Ronaldo changes direction from the ball to Savic to get the Penalty like a Russian throwing himself in fron of a car to get the insurance money.

Basically is a foul from Ronaldo at the start and he somehow invents a penalty from all that
 
He's actually looked really good tonight. Far sharper and quicker than I've seen of him recently.
