It even helped Vinicius, because the hand slowed down the speed of the ball a bit. But that's Madrid. Half their points result from opponent's gifts or simply better stamina to score late in the game.

Slapstick penalty now
1 soft pen of both side, guess that's even now.
We are awful.
Did Foyth kick it at his hand on purpose? Very smart if he did.
Feck sake alaba tried to get the arm out of the way at least 
Are Real's fans (some of them at least) still pretending they're better with Tchouameni than Casemiro ?
Ultimately i think i'm fine with both penalty decisions. The first correctly punishes Foyth's stupidity, the second correctly awards a goal scoring chance to villarreal that was denied by a handball
Camavinga to turn it around for Real again
Much bigger problem is the attack, Benzema and Vini are nowhere close to last season.
I agree. Is it suprising though? It was very unlikely that Vinicius turned overnight into a world class player and Bernzema, while being a great player, clearly had the season of his life.
Tchouameni is playing a good season considering it's his first year, except for some weak games like today, and some mistakes in positions.
Casemiro had a lot of games to forget in the middle of the season.
Obviously Casemiro's shadow is long but I think it was a right decision.
Too selfish there but what a run
Villareal is an interesting team but it's sad that don't have a better front 3. Applies to far too many teams in Liga unfortunately.
No, but point being that we had these types of games with Casemiro as well and even worse.
I agree, I'm only talking about the fans who consider he is already better (because his passing range is more interesting blabla). The same way Some Bayern fans (and their coach) said they'd be better without Lewa.
Vinicius has been poor
Perez really needs to invest in the attack. Endrick might be a bust and is still 2 years out. And we got no one on the RW.
Yeah, and Valverde needs to settle in the midfield. He's probably Real's best player this season and while doing a decent job on the RW, it's just not his best position. He needs to be involved more.
Danjuma 
Lord, that's some miss. He had so much time with an open goal.
Wow Nunez would be proud of that miss
Tchouameni was playing very well at the begining of the season and now he is not (not that well at least), and the opposite applies to Casemiro.
And in a few months time who knows.
Better to tell things the way they are.

Lovely. Griezmann has pink hair.
Is there a player in the world with bigger level swings than Dembele? He can look world class one game and absolute garbage the other.
Just seen this
Even by Atletico standards some incredible last ditch defending here.
Their passing is terrible, couple of goals for Barca here tonight.

Without lewandowski Barca just faff about so much, always 1 pass too many, no penetration or real threat
At club or international level? He had a really poor world cup in the end. Was too young in 2018 world cup and lost his place after one game, can't remember him in the euros.
Both.
Oh yeah even for Dortmund he was kamikaze in final third but very exciting to watch.
Just wondering when he's been in dominant period for form for France considering he's done very little in major tournaments so far.
What a pass from Felix!
Dembele gives Barcelona the lead.
Fair to say that was coming, very nicely finished off by Dembele. Lovely play by Pedri.
Terrific build up play and finish from Dembele, came out of nothing.
We’ll have to be at our best when we play them at the Nou Camp.

Nearly two for Barcelona because of bad defending.
Should've been 2-0.
Barca would be 4 up if they had Lewa in this.

Atletico Madrido is a terrible, terrible team...
Atletico need to get rid of Simeone. He was a fantastic manager for them but it's time for the club to move on from him now
WTF is Griezmann thinking with that hair?
