Just knows how to win big games.
Sloppy on the ball, but always in the right place at key times.

In a weird way he had a quiet game compared to his usual selt but he was still in the right places at the right moment intercepting and breaking up their attacks.
It was a bit disjointed with him and Fred in CM I felt but individually he still had a great game.

All ETH signings are great far but Cas single-handedly transformed our team. How could RM allow him to leave is beyond me.
Please be ok for Sunday. The comm said we'd lost 3 out of 7 when he's not played and 3 out of 31 when he's played. Really, really crucial player (more so in a final)
I think the only main criticism to his game is he’s become far too direct with his passes. Sometimes it really works — he played Fernandes and Antony in a few times — but other times it can lead to avoidable turnover counters
He’s obviously mega otherwise

Hopefully ETH can reassure us after the game but fear he is out for a few weeks

What?
That pass for brunos chance was great.
But really loved his yellow, sign of a winner thinking feck it, you ain't going anywhere

Yeah I'm worried about that as well. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Bit like when they let Makelele go and he went and changed Chelsea's midfield.
He's a class act, but Real.aren't really missing him too much.
Colossal in front of the defence and as per usual some sloppy passes but also many excellent first time and progressive passes too.
Should have had an assist to Bruno in the first half with that fantastic ball.

The double block in the first half was ridiculous
He's so good you take him for granted. That says a lot.
What ? He played the full match and was fine?
His build is a bit similar to Shaw then. But was this picture taken early in the season? I just noticed he got a bit more chubby recently.Wish I was chubby.
Back to the performance, well what can I say more?
I thought that. He celebrated the winner quite passionately again too! Didn’t look in any distress.
Absolutely insane. First a perfectly timed tackle and then a block. Bet DM in the world.
I think his pass selection is usually brilliant, it’s just his technique which can’t quite match it. He sees really good passes really early. He’s just a bit clumsy!
Yeah he's a bit ballsy with it compared to a lot of other DMs and holding players. Obviously pays off going forward, but could also mean we dont get enough of the ball at times
Didn't look fine to me after that challenge, hopefully it's just because he was knackered. Had my fair share of ankle injuries where I have finished the game on pure adrenaline but struggling to walk the day after. Just had that feeling watching him.
Bruno should’ve scored from his pass in the 1st half.
Thought the yellow was a bit unnecessary. Lewandowski is hardly fast, can just shoulder barge him once he draws level. Other than that, can’t complain. Massive double block + screening work.

We would've been 2 down if it wasn't for his brilliant blocks to deny Barca after De Gea's howler. He's been a brilliant signing and without him this season I feel we wouldn't be having as good of a season. Same applies to Martinez, and both players have been brilliant for us.
Do you think he would have stayed on for 25 mins or so if it was that bad? Just asking by the way. Hopefully it’s nothing.
He's just got a round face so it makes him look like he has a soft body but clearly doesn't.
I liked how he flung Lewa to the ground in direct response to Busquets.
It's a positive sign he did atleast, but like I said sometimes you can play on after ankle rolls due to pure adrenaline. Just thought he ran a bit awkward after the challenge. Not Henderson awkward but still enough to make me worry if he will be fine for Sunday.
He looked to be enjoying the celebrations at the end.
Anyway fingers crossed mate
Leader of the Bermuda triangle. With Rafa and Martinez as the two other members. The opponents strikers just disappears, bet Lewa has bruises all over his body after Martinez warrior attitude tonight.
If Case is on the pitch, it almost feels like it doesn't matter if we are missing somebody else in the first eleven, because his attitude and winner mentality just spreads to the team, raising our level to title contender.
Hopefully he didn't get injured when he went down in the second half, we need him to shut down Bruno and the rest of Newcastle on sunday.

Anybody else laugh when the scuffle happened and he just didn't get involved 
Monsterclass. Missed on a few passes but also could have had two assists, but either way he disrupted every thing.
My favourite new signing. 18 has been a good number for us.
Super pass for Fernandes' early chance. Brilliant defending to rescue us after De Gea's terrible pass just before half-time. Pass completion not great.
For years we've all said we never actually signed a replacement for Keane. We can stop that now we have Casemiro.
As Bruce Springsteen, The Boss, is to music, so Casemiro, The Boss, is to football.
Can there be any doubt that Casemiro, right now, is the top defensive midfielder on the planet?

Yep. It's already a meme online.Anybody else laugh when the scuffle happened and he just didn't get involved
Best we've had since Scholes.
Christ, he's an absolute monster.
