I actually think Ray Hudson could make our games entertaining.

So before today, I heard there was more than 30% penalty miss in La Liga this season.

Just before that goal great piece of individual skill shown by 19 year old Formals. Went past Modric and Kroos like they didn't exist but his shot got deflected over the bar by Ramos.

Madrid have looked average again. For long spells, Roma were the better team during the week.

Madrid out of the title race now.

They're not really that good in 'elite team' terms are they?

Just saw the table.
Madrid are 9 points behind. Wow.
54 points out of a potential 75 too.. I remember a few years ago when Barca and Madrid were both close to a 100 points.

Atleticio Madrid have stepped up in recent years.. but then teams like Valencia are very poor.

Is the La Liga more competitive now? or are Madrid dropping silly points.

Dont play as well as a team. But dont get it twisted, Barca have had games like today too and have just nicked it. Barcelona have more get out of jail cards in their deck.

its not only barca, Atletico is better then them. Most overrated team in history of sports, absolutely love it how people always automatically put real in Elite teams just because its Real with the squad of flashy names.

Ronaldo is lucky the match wasn't at the Bernabau. The fans would have given him a piece of their mind.

Madrid are considered amongst the elite teams of the last few years because they always get to the semi finals of the CL every season (and won it in 2014). Only Barcelona and Bayern have been better than Madrid over the last 5 seasons.

They're not out of the title race, because they still have a game against Barcelona. Anything can still happen, and I have seen stranger things happen in La Liga (for example the 2006-2007 season).

Real Madrid are still better than pretty much all the other European teams around, what they lack at the moment is consistency, and probably the belief that they can still win the league. That's mainly the coach's job.

They're 9 behind but it's basically 10 as they aren't going to overturn the 4-0 H2H record. Not a chance they come back from that.

They need to focus on getting ahead of Atlético before trying to compete with Barça.

Madrid are still a top 5 team in the world. They can well win the CL.
