Won't see a penalty blasted much further over...
Real are awful. So lucky to be only 1 down.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Real are awful. So lucky to be only 1 down.
Varane scores for Real. 1-1.
Crazy game. Real much improved after equalising.
Are all those players really "injured" for Real? Or dropped due to last few games or massive bust up?
What is going on with Isco and Mariano too? Absolute shambles it seems.

Real have a penalty. Benzema scores. 1-2.
Benzema with another. 1-3.
the relegation battle is looking to be a close one between at least 6 teams
Think from Valladolid down. Although you don't know with Villarreal.
Weird win for Real. Valladolid had 2 goals disallowed, could have had a penalty, hit the post and missed some easy chances.
Just seen Villareal won, assumed that had finished 0-0 as it was an awful game.
Two very late goals in stoppage time. Like you I thought it was a 0-0.
Apart from Huesca who are battling well, Rayo and Celta look done for the Segunda Division.
It seems that even if they take the lead you just know they are going to concede.
Sevilla sack Machín

Haven't Sevilla hit a poor run of form? I know their away form has been erratic. He is now the 10th La Liga manager sacked this season and the 6th who was appointed last summer
Yeah, started off really well and gone completely to shit.
I think Machin is potentially an excellent manager too. Was excellent at Girona but Sevilla just never seem to be able to get some consistency together.
@FootballHQ, after you said Real Sociedad were favourite to finish 4th, they haven't won a single game 
Real Sociedad draw 1-1 with Levante
Sociedad stay 9th, Levante stay 15th (6 points from the relegation zone)

Willian Jose getting injured has killled their season. Also lost Irramendi and Januazj in recent weeks.@FootballHQ, after you said Real Sociedad were favourite to finish 4th, they haven't won a single game
I'm really surprised. Guess Sevilla don't think they'll finish 4th and were banking on europa league win to make CL.
I think it's a very harsh sacking. Yes they've been poor recently but they won their last league game 5-2 ffs which could've started another good winning run.
Is the Sevilla squad really as strong as what it was during the Sampaoli season? They had N'zonzi in great form that season and likes of Nasri and Jovetic were also excellent that year.
Worst scarf ever:
Looks like it is made from towelingWorst scarf ever:
Surprised Isco is starting. Zidane wasnt always his biggeat fan. Glad to see Odriozola starting. Take the chances until players are coming back.
Courtois benched 
Isco and Marcelo both starting. Brave decision by Zidane /s
Several injuries and suspensions, but the starting lineup also suggests Zidane wants to reintegrate some players who had a hard time under Solari.
Isco, Marcelo and Navas starting
Casemiro, Lucas and Vinicius are out so Isco starting probably doesn't mean much. Clear intention to try to reintegrate Marcelo, which makes sense.
Navas ahead of Courtois is hilarious after all the drama of the past 3/4 years regarding the goalkeeper position.

What a save Navas 
Real defending better collectively than in earlier Zidane times.
Looks like Lord Voldemort.Worst scarf ever:
I think Celta are just crap offensively without Aspas, they have plenty of space and lots of the ball
Bale hits the bar

Bale, Marcelo and Ramos all very close within 5 minutes
I think basics like workrate, pressing, collective movement are better so far (just one half though).
That was a clear foul on Asensio ffs, but Var can't intervene because it's just outside the box... such a stupid rule.
That should be a red for Bale. VAR doesn't intervene
Madrid still look very poor, this feels like a friendly
Madrid still look very poor, this feels like a friendly
Celta is really bad today...
Better second half from Madrid but this has still been very poor overall. They don't need to do much though, Celta have been awful. They're going down.
Now we just need one from Marcelo to make it complete.
I do love how Isco sounded always sick and not ready to play under Solari and suddenly he came back as first choice under Zidane and scored against Celta today
A good win, with a nice display from Real now that their season is over.
