La liga 2022/23

they are the king of jammy-ness in CL. It’s pretty insane.

the scoreline right now flatters them tremendously as well, but Barca got away with a result the last time they played Madrid

Yep, then people will turn around and tell you Madrid dominated the game and it was all intentional.
 
Way too pragmatic from Madrid/Ancelotti here. You have to take the game to Barcelona like we did in the EL.

More often than not Vinicius is counter-attacking on his own.

Thats Ancelotti in these games, he wont change.
 
It's a fun game. Not a good one but a fun one (well it's relative, I suffered the PSG game this afternoon and it was terrible, so this one is obviously an upgrade).
 
RM love soaking it up... only to counter. This feels inevitable for a Benzema winner.
 
Expect better from Lewa there even if it wasn't the easiest chance. You'd expect someone like Haaland or Ibra to score that.
 
Madrid have been rubbish but you can never rule them out once the clock strikes 80 minutes.
 
Ancelotti's gameplan to Vinicius :

Gavi is a really strange player. He can look class on occasions and very dumb 10 secondes later.

EDIT : 2-1 Real but maybe offside.

he’s good but I hate how hot headed he is. Far too hot headed for no reason. It’s so stupid. I hope he’ll figure it out as he matures.

I'll admit I'm not objective about him. He's obviously quality for his age but his temper, his overreactions, the tongue against the cheek every time he carries the ball and the fact that he didn't know how to tie his laces at 18 sort of printed in my brain the fact that he's stupid. He does look like a great player on occasions though.
 
Meh, at least we played some football the last 20 minutes of the game.
