La Liga 2017/18

Not sure about Mayoral's challenge on the second goal. I know in the PL it's never a foul, but this isn't the PL. Thoughts?

Could have gone either way really. It was pretty soft and the defender fell down on purpose but it might have been enough contract to get him off the path of the ball. The ref has definitely favoured Madrid during the first half though.
 
Ouch..Not great then?

What about Januzaj?
The highlight of bale's first half, his "defence" on odriorzola on their equalizer

Januzaj decent. Real Sociedad not particularly threatening going forward besides those two plays
 
Mayoral's second shot ~5 minutes ago should have been in. But he looks sharp and determined, and he works hard. Would be nice if he can develop into a good backup this season. Real certainly needs him.
 
That was a foul now, Varane on Willian José on the 3-1
 
3-1 Madrid. Game over.

Sociedad have been fecked over by a dodgy referee.

Perhaps. They have disappointed me at the same time. They are capable of more. Missing two or three good players.
 
"Bale's finished. Not good enough for Man United"

The red cafe football experts
One goal he's scored here... been awful otherwise. Needs to put in consistently good performances - not show up now and then..
