They seem to have woken up a bit
Well the greatest footballer of all time is on your bench so maybe try using him for a change.
:D I wouldn't mind, but I think the attack is not our biggest problem. In Madrid perhaps

You never ever count out Real Madrid.

They can lose. No problem and no shame against ManCity. But 13 titles in Champions League / European Cup says it all.

How do people who watch football still not know away goals don’t count anymore.
There are plenty of football fans who support clubs that aren't in Europe and who don't keep up with every rule change. No need to be condescending

Aye. But 2-1 makes it a game when City looked like hammering Real (they still could). No question City batter teams but don't convert enough of their chances and do give opposition teams opportunities at the back.

DeBruyne right now(last months) looks like Ozil at Arsenal a few years ago when he was still arsed to play football. Producing majestic passes but the team can't finish to save their life.
Also, is there a statistic of KDB in knockout stages in CL.. goals+assists that someone can post? Feels like he always produces in big games.

Benzema this season is the same as Lewandowski in the treble year and last season, where everything goes his way.

Phenomenal players all 3.

You could say the same about this city side, didn't stop messi from winning it last year when Chelsea won it.
Also balon d'or obviously has a Spanish Italian bias.
That is what i think. The authorities hate the fact English football is so dominant

City playing inverted fullbacks now, Pep is a weird guy when it comes to CL

Has Bale played at all recently for Madrid? Think these kind of games he'd be good at, when you don't have the ball much you need your attackers to both be able to keep the ball and pick a great pass, which Bale can do

Militao was one of the very best CBs in the world until the clasico...

He's been pub level since. Shades of Varane post WC. Alaba too has been pretty bad of late

We need a top modern coach. One good at implementing modern training methods, can put a proper organization and structure into the team and improve young players

And Kroos needs to come off for Camavinga

Madrid desperately needs to bring on a midfielder in the 2nd half.

Well it turns out the poster was joking anyway.

However, your point doesn’t really make sense. They are still watching Champions League games regularly, and it’s stated almost every match that away goals don’t count anymore.
