Vietto/Correa has to be the next sub for Atletico, Torres is done

Zidane knows that Casemiro is not the kind of player Florentino wants to see in the field, the Makelele conumdrum all over again. This 442 with 2 pure wingers and 2 CM is what I would play in CM 20 years ago

That was a pen right there for Madrid
Ye, i know right? Perez.. You'd think Zidane would go against it especially with his Makelele quote in mind.

Taking off Benzema and keeping Ronaldo on the pitch was Zidane's biggest mistake in this match.

No one goes against Floren's desires if they want to last in their job. This is the man that leads the team

Not a good start for Zizou. Let's see what he can do after the summer with a few players of his choice.
Would Perez leave him at the helm if you finish 3rd or 4th? Doesn't seem like the Perez we know.

Really? So was 1 player against 11?
Sorry. Didn't realise Ronaldo was playing on his own against Atletico. Didn't even realise he was playing until it was mentioned on here.

Both Ramos and Carvajal out for next match, who is Real's opponent then?

Real trick people into believing they're an elite team with 5 or 6-goal outbursts against smaller teams but they're miles off Barca and Bayern in terms of team chemistry. If you look at how those teams went to Arsenal and Juventus and dominated the game for large parts of the game, they're just a lot better than this Real side.

I think this is the "best" that could happen to him, now that he's out of the league race and with some players injured he can try to leave a mark in the team, maybe give minutes to Casemiro if he has a clue about football?

At CL we know BBC and Modric-Kroos-Isco/James is the way to go til the final, so he has now some space to work the weekends

Couldn't agree more. Atlético are better than them.

Guti said before the game that not a single Atletico player would get into this Real Madrid team. Well who cares. Its a team game. Sum of individuals. And Godin would comfortably walk into that team.

4th win for Atletico in their last 6 league meetings with Real Madrid. Simeone is doing a phenomenal job.
