I think they are trolling. Not classy. Hilarious I love it.
Champions League Round of 16 (14th Feb - 15th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Liverpool fans lapping it up, not realising they're being trolledMadrid belting out YAWN over the tannoy post-match.
It just shows some of these "refs" know feck all abour football which is worrying to say the least. The people officiating the game have no common sense about football. It's madWhat was the guy in the VAR room smoking?
That was…easier than expected. Liverpool are very poor. Not like we have been brilliant. Ohh well. Lets see who we’ll get in the next round.
Crouch defending Liverpool 
they were clueless when they had the ball, get over it
they were clueless when they had the ball, get over itI only turned it on once they were losing but can imagine McManaman was tugging away at himself too was he?
Commentators saying Real playing YAWN was a classy and nice touch when they were clearly trolling them
Jake on BT Sports sounds depressed.
A prem ref would have given it as well.What was the guy in the VAR room smoking?
Not really. The best Spanish player that Euros was Marcos Senna.
Didn't win the MVP just because he was the a naturalised player.
Meh, felt like we were second best again and by a fair distance. Never felt like we could sustain any pressure on them. Vini Jr. is such a good player.
We need to make every effort to keep Alisson. Even with everyone else getting Space Jam'd he's still one of the best keepers around.
On to the Etihad in two weeks.

Thats what I thought.Yes
We are their bitches to be fair. Every season.Liverpool fans lapping it up, not realising they're being trolled
Can’t stand the cnut but to be fair to him he mostly acknowledged Madrid were too good and experienced to get drawn into a game and Liverpool weren’t good enough, particularly going forward.
TAA was abject shite again too.
How are Madrid 9 points behind Barca?
They seem levels above.

Since start of February, Liverpool scored 8 goals in 8 games, but 7 against us. Such a freak result that I'm sure would never happen the other way round.
Anyways, looking at teams that are still in the competition I'd like Napoli to win it but basically don't care much as long as it's not City or Chelsea. Though both teams have some solid chances of winning it as well.

It’s ridiculous how much they fawn over them even when they are shite. Just a few bits I can remember.
At the end in the first half -
Martin Tyler “You sense Liverpool is about to score here”
In the second half -
Martin Tyler “ Madrid will be rattled if Liverpool just score one right now”
After Liverpool scored
Martin Tyler “Madrid and Ancelotti have been nervous all night”
Eder cleared the ball and laughing
Martin Tyler said “they know they can afford to laugh now before it wasn’t the case” something along the line
Yep.
Xavi has 212 career assists to his name; Modric has 122. Granted Modric has played fewer career games, but, it's just pure recency bias that anyone puts Modric ahead of Xavi. The best is usually the last person you saw.
They’ve done Michael Owen dirty here putting him next to three 6’3”+ pundits
Barca's defensive record in La Liga is superlative, that's why. We watch Madrid in Europe and think, "wow", but we don't watch them being underwhelming vs domestic opposition.
Barca have conceded eight goals in 25 games.
Madrid have conceded more than double (19 in 25)
Does he want to leave?
Liverpool had a great gesture in the first leg with the tribute to Amancio who had just passed away so I think playing YAWN was a way to recognize that.Commentators saying Real playing YAWN was a classy and nice touch when they were clearly trolling them
I don't think Xavi has figured out how to manage European football yet. Also, Real Madrid leave their best for Europe. C.Ronaldo surprisingly only has 3 La Liga titles but 4 UCL's.
Controversial not commercial eh?
Sounded like he was gargling his own jizz too the spaghetti haired prick.
Thank you for this post. It exactly what I think . I feel like I’m losing my mind seeing so many people putting down Xavi like that as if it’s either they never saw him or have forgotten how bloody good he was. It’s pure recency bias and if Xavi was still playing today nobody would dare put Modric above him.
Trent slaughtered for the goal.
Konate gets a pass for admiring Benzema following the ball in.

Ronaldo has 2 La Ligas - 2012 and 2017.
Damn, even less than I thought.
Even disregarding assists, he's just a better passer than Modric in every facet of the game.
Better controlled short passing game, better at passes that break the midfield lines, better at passes that take out a defensive line, better at switching flanks, better at 'pinging a ball into the box', better at set-pieces, etc.
Xavi has now apparently been relegated to a system player despite both systems being worse off without him.
I think their style of play translates far better to knockout football than Barca's.
He looks like Nate from Ted LassoHe looks so tiny next to them
Owen is like an angry toddler
I's not, he faced prime Messi in La Liga for many years, when he was unstoppable.
No shame in losing titles to one of the 3 GOATs of football.
Tbf it was probably a gesture of unity and solidarity over the disgrace in Paris. Yours is not a club we would mock
No but I could see someone coming in for him in the next year or two.
Fixed!
