The slow motion replay of Shaw celebrating that goal save is hilarious. I genuinely chuckled a bit when Varane not having any of that shite from Barcelona.

He really hates Barca, you can see it.

Argh missed that. Please someone clip it up!
 
what a player. immense save at the end there.

he was class all game long.
 
One of best players tonight! Absolutely immense! Legend of a defender
 
Topped an excellent performance with that clearance. We're so lucky to have him and Martinez as out centre backs.
 
Casemiro, Martinez and Rashford get the plaudits most weeks but what a fecking player this man is. Also shout out to Madrid for not being dicks and giving us two world class players in their primes, has been such a big help in our rebuild.

We did pay good money for them but they owed us for Ronaldo
 
We should be set for a few years having him and Martinez, he was class tonight.
 
His partnership with Martinez is quite something. What a player and signing.
 
Immense. And what a block in injury time

Wild to think that in the summer some questioned if he would be first choice
 
So happy to see him prove the doubters wrong. He, Casemiro and Martinez have been incredible signings.
 
Have said it time and time again. The biggest difference maker for me between us winning trophies and key games is this guy. Such a beautiful defender.

To think that we bought Phil Jones instead of him
 
Unreal tonight. Going from Maguire and Lindelof to him and Martinez is quite something.

After few years of people claiming Maguire is actually a good defender, I hope people know understand what a good defender actually is, looking at both Varane and Martinez.

God we wasted so much time with these crappy defenders..Smalling, Jones, Bailly, Lindelof, Rojo, Maguire..how many average or below average defenders cost us over the years ?

Sorry, but it's just wrong. He chose to go Madrid because Zidane personally persuaded him. Jones was a big talent too. Injuries ruined his career. He was not able to develop his game while his physical ability dismissed. It was never a bout choosing one of them. SAF wanted them both which is reasonable, with Rio-Vida was on the way down.
 
He's fecking immense, and himself and Martinez ooze class and leadership. The polar opposite of our previous CB iteration.
 
This guy is a fecking winner. What a player. MOTM tonight out of a very good bunch.
 
Him and Casemiro finally at a club where they are appreciated and they are loving it :D

What a difference it makes having world class players in the eleven.
 
The type of player that should be playing us and should've been for the last decade.

Wasn't for a lack of trying to be fair :lol:



Zidane convinced him to sign for Madrid instead and the rest is history.

I'm more than glad that we've still been able to get the later years of his prime though
 
I still get a buzz when I see his name on the teamsheet. Remember when he was that unattainable dream signing? I do

Yeah I know about that. What could've been with Kroos Varane and many more. We also needed a better succession of managers though. We got what our manager and player trajectory deserved.
 
His passion goes a bit under the radar having Martinez next to him, but while being a cool customer on the pitch, you can see that fire in him too. He loves it and we love him too!
 
That clearance in a moment like that can't be taught, it's from experience.
