Courtois doesn't get enough credit for the season he's having, so many great saves at important times. One of the main reasons their defensive record is as good as it is.

Bordalas's Getafe looking like Sacchi's Milan at times.

Ramos penalty breaks deadlock. By La Liga standards it was a reasonably clear one. Getafe undone by quick move.

Carvajal makes a penalty, doesn't get called, escapes a second yellow and then goes on to win a penalty :lol:

Will Pique tweet tonight?

Standard win that for team winning a title, Madrid weren't great but got the job done against a tricky opponent.

Didn't see the first half so haven't seen the possible penalty but i'll assume it was because it's sweeter this way :D

Bordalas is one of the best coaches in Primera by far.

Finally a win for Real Sociedad.
Of course that will be now very difficult for Barca......but with Real Madrid vs Getafe + Athletic Club vs Real Madrid + Villarreal vs Barca as the next fixtures i think it's possible that either both clubs are equal on points or Real Madrid are 6-7 points away from Barca.
Okay it's now probably over.

Pretty interesting call to retake the pen!
I thought that it was clear cut. The Mallorca #20 encroached into the box before the kick was even taken. Given that he played a key role in clearing the ball, the retake was the correct decision. I don't get why all of the focus is on the keeper, though; he's not necessarily why the penalty was retaken.

Fair enough, I wasn't even paying attention to the encroachment. The commentary was focused on the GK

For some weird reason, they tried to make that controversial when it was anything but. Oh well, Morata got his 2nd anyways; that could dishearten Mallorca who've played well up to this point.

Fun fact I didn't knew: Atlético de Madrid was funded by basque students residents in Madrid, hence the name and similar colors to Athletic.

Valladolid are the most boring team in the universe. Still they get a late winner v Alaves who have a nightmare run in.

Good first half.I liked Militão and Asensio with a couple of good crosses.
Rodrygo quite invisible

Bad first half from us

Marcelo and Carvajal really bad, Ramos, Case and Valverde not their usual selves

Militao very convincing on the other hand, and Asensio put two chocolates for rodrygo and benzema but they wasted them

We've struggled though. Need to wake up and start matching their intensity. Not easy given we played getafe on thursday, and that was a war

Benzema and Carvajal really need some rest. Carvajal needs to wait when Nacho is back. Benzema is not showing it but damn he has some excellent work rate. Playing all the games since the restart. He's sweating his ass off. I hope they didn't pay all that money just for Jovic warming the bench with his ass.

Asensio is still such a class act, I'm glad that injury hasn't affected his ability or mindset
Agreed but he's still the same before the injury when it comes to defending leaving Marcello exposed the whole time. He doesn't like too challenge for the ball it seems.

Benzema is one of the most underrated players of the 21st century. He is absolutely incredible, and such a team man.

Clear pen.

A Bit Lucky to decide these games with the pens, but Not Reals fault they are fouling them..

I’m even starting to feel bad for Barca with the refereeing post-lockdown.

How are Madrid doing this every game? :lol:

Madrid are the new Liverpool?

How not a pen on Garcia? Exactly the same foul...
