Jose in please.
Real Madrid need to get ready for a terrible season | It’s happening
- Thread starter shamans
- Start date
Hell, he'll be gone at half time. Wenger will lead Real Madrid out with a smile, and they'll proceed to score 4 goals.
Levante, I mean.
I know Real Madrid are weaken this season after losing Ronaldo and Zidane. But are they that bad?
Holy shit, just seeing the score. Absolute shambles. I'm starting to think this thing with Lopetegui isn't going to work out as planned. I'd honestly have Mou back at this point.
We'll ship him off to you tonight.

Who can Real bring in as a replacement?
Guti
Wenger!
Wenger of course. I'd like to see that.
Get the hankies out.

Welcome to hell! Seeing incompetent people in important roles in your club.
Former players Guti, Raul or Xabi Alonso
Free agent managers Conte, Jardim, Blanc, Sampaoli, Wenger
Under contract managers Allegri, Marcelinho, Pocchettino, Mourinho
Lopetegui, sacked by Spain and to be sacked by Real.
Breaking records left right and center, maybe they could do with a tap in merchant they sold.
Nah, this team is still good enough altough we could do with 2-3 new players.
Game on.
The decline had already started last season (93pts in 16-17 v 76pts in 17-18) but they were able to mask it with the CL win.
Now without their most effective goalscorer and the guy who crafted them into the ultimate cup team in the world, it was never going to be an easy job for the next manager.
What a hit by Benz, so unlucky!
THey may be losing but when you have nearly 70% possession and you are outshooting your opponent 29-5 you can't really ask for much more. Keep playing like that and the results will come...
From my point of view there are at least two stars missing upfront. Midfield, defense and goalkeepers are all world class imo.
It’s alright, just blame it on Ronaldo again. He was invisible tonight.
They’re going to be so much better when he’s not holding them back.

Imagine Kane upfront with one of Hazard or Mbappe.
Indeed.
I don't think Mbappe is realistic, but Kane and Hazard seem plausible if you are eager to pay big for them.
They should definitely have bought a replacement for him. But that aside the squad is still brillant and should perform much better. Maybe needs some rejuvenating though.
This for all the people who would devalue Ronaldo and say that they still get to the CL finals without him and that Modric was the driving force behind that team. Madrid will have a bad season this year and next summer will be in need of a galactico signing someone like Neymar or Mbappe. You cant replace Ronaldo with fecking Mariano and except all to be well.
Hazard yeah, I don’t see Kane leaving for a few years.
There is no replacement for Ronaldo, no other player that could have entered the team and have them playing the same way with Marcelo and Carvajal being pretty much wingers and the midfield focused only on controlling. The failure of such a big amount of fans and media outlets to understand Ronaldo's importance to that Real Madrid team was beyond incredible.
The current squad is very good but certainly not brilliant and the only special players in the team are past their thirties. Modric and Marcelo have started declining, Ramos will follow. Several of their players have been massively overrated through the years because they were winning everything. For the past couple of years Lucas Vasquez was a great option, Asensio was a future Ballon D'Or winner, Casemiro-Kroos-Modric were the best midfield in the world, Marcelo's defensive problems were overlooked, etc... now they aren't.
They're going to fire Lopetegui but they aren't winning anything big this season and the one person responsible for what's happening is Florentino Perez. They'll spend big next season again and will get one or two superstar forwards but they won't be back to what they've been in the recent past.
Conte to become Real's new manager as sure as tomorrow the sun will rise up.
No Ronaldo, no party.
Seriously, Zidane struggled in the league too. Maybe they need to rebuild the team.

After he was at Porto we knew he will be like that, actually I was really surprised he was doing so good with your national team. The day Porto fired him was a sad day for Sporting and Benfica fans.
I'm starting to think this thing with Lopetegui isn't going to work out as planned. I'd honestly have Mou back at this point.
Just seen the score. Wow. They are in crisis.
Modric ain't winning a Ballon d'Or with results like this highlighting the importance of Ronaldo.
We actually weren't bad today. Except for Varane and Ramos who were amateur hour bad and Lucas who is in such pathetic form it's a mystery why he still gets games, ok that's on julen. Still, we've finally broken the duck. Next games we'll score 7 against plzen and things will right themselves right until barcelona smash us in the clasico, then we sack lopetegui, hire Guti and go on to win the CL again
Im not sure even Real Madrid have enough money for Kane. 200mil?
I had thought something similar,but I took for granted the 3 points today.
Now I am not sure if he can resist until Barcelona
They should just get Pep Guardiola and give him Neymar and KDB and all will be rosey again in madrid.
They needed to replace Ronaldo with literally anyone
No other club in the world would’ve started the season without some sort of forward replacement
Absolutely baffling
If they kept Ronaldo but Modric left without any midfield replacement they’d also struggle
The issue isn’t Ronaldo leaving as much as zero replacement
If they even signed a Cavani they’d be on top of the table
The thing is nobody else in La Liga is playing great. They're are still only 1 point away from Barcelona and 4 if Barcelona win their game.
I think you get carried away. Cristiano is the best in what he does but someone like Kane or Lewandowski would have allowed them tonplay in an at least similar fashion.
I still think they have the best midfield in the world by the way. Kroos-Modric-Casemiro was never overrated.
