Kroos is so past it... Once Madrid bring Camavinga on for him, they'll play with energy

Madrid have had 45% of the ball but virtually all of it has been in their own third.

Kroos is none existence in this game and if he carries on like this then should be off for Camavinga

Liverpool has more fans than Real (on stadium)? Or Real fans are just shit
According to BT Sport the stadium is 60-70% Liverpool fans. Liverpool are world famous for their away support. Best in the world. Can't beat them. According to BT Sport.

Real were never going to come out swinging and trying to out-energy this Liverpool side. They'll be happy to go into half-time 0-0 and then turn it on in the last quarter of the game.

If only Ancelotti stopped handicapping the team by starting Kroos in place of Camavinga.

I swear that nearly half of Thiagos passes are piddly two yard passes to a team mate under no pressure.

Seems to do it every time he gets the ball, no wonder he has such amazing passing stats!!

So Real plan is long balls. fecking hell
That's how many teams have had great goalscoring chances against Liverpool this season (before fecking them up). I don't see the problem in employing that tactic against them with their high line and TAA being pretty dodgy defensively.

It’s incredible how this Liverpool has achieved what it has with Henderson in the team.

Imagine someone talented.

This is why I love basketball. You can't play 3rd of a game like sh1t and then win, but football allows that.

Anyone who says Modric is better than Xavi needs to watch this match and many more all throughout his career. He gets dominated far too often in midfield battles. That never would happen with Xavi. And yes he alone makes all the difference. Modric is more of a clutch player but how to assert your dominance in the midfield amd some more in a match , he isn’t even fit enough to lace Xavi’s boots.

Real struggling with Liverpool's physicality and direct, fast play. Not meant as a dig, but the simplicity of the game plan for Liverpool really helps them impose themselves.

Atmosphere terrible, the game isn't much better.

Are Madrid hoping to spring into life in the second half here, playing terrible.

Starting Kroos and bringing on Camavinga later will prove to be a smart idea when the PEDs start wearing off for Liverpool.

Madrid are bloody embarrassing. You kind of enjoy seeing it happen until you remember that they're being embarrassed by fecking Liverpool.
