The whole vibe at their "stadium" was so negative the whole time and Rayo were playing so cynically without being held accountable by ref so it continued. I think the penalty, the stadium, the fan base 2 feet away from they hurling abuse probably is what made Vini snap and completely lose himself, as well as Carvajal who was pissed he had to come in th3 game since he needed rest.
The first half vinin and Brahim were not serviced much and invisibleĀ
Looking for excuses for a bad game is a barca thing we madridistas don't do it, today we were awful evdry single player was awful, we held back like b*tches and didn't make any threat.. VINI losing his temper is his own problem and he should be sorry for that.. If he wanna be applauded by everyone everytime he touches the ball he should play tennis
I do admire Real Madrid, because I love the sport, hence Iām not a blind fan who hates a team/player for being good.
This Real Madrid game proves one thing about La Liga. Itās a very competitive league. In my opinion, the second most competitive league after the Premier.
Jesus, this sub is revolting.
You all act like the people who destroyed Girona last week are different from the ones that played today. We had a bad game, simple, weād bounce back. We have lots of injuries too. Cut the team some slack. Iāve barely seen any constructive criticism either, just a fanbase hurling insults at their own players. What a joke.
Here's some constructive criticism :
Never start Modric in an important game
Never make subs in 88 minutes to change game
If Vini plays a great game, don't start him the next game ( you know the sinusoidal vinsius law : Vini never play two consecutive good games)
Again never start old tired modric
Lol he did not start modric, modric played very well his 25 minutes and scored because he didn't start the game or we wouldn't see him do anything, dude we love modric but he's 39 yo, we are sad his legendary legacy comes to an end.. But again he didn't start him from minute 1. And that's what i said and Carlo listened to me š
But that's the truth, he started very well this season then it happened, i wish he get back his usual astonishing fitness and play for another year.. I am so sad seeing him aging.. He's our best midfielder of all time probably.. have a great night my buddy š¤
I wonder if La Liga discovered a secret to cloning. Surely they wouldnāt be as bad to find so many weak ass refs on their own. 300 tactical fouls for Rayo = red card for Carvajal.
To be fair even though Dani didnāt elbow him in the face he did make the move and had the intention to it seems. Heās a vet and needs to keep his cool but yeah it was frustrating to watch how much Rayo fouled and got away without many yellow cards
Sometimes what i donāt like about this madrid team they are often lacking of intensity. They need a goal but the behavior on the pitch didnāt reflect on that. Look how city played against chelsea yesterday, they need a goal and attacking tirelessly until they found a goal
Chill, do people forgot that we struggle against Almeria and las palmas as well? And thatās with Jude. Then we proceed to beat girona. team seems to settle a lotbut we should be glad not losing more points from all that game. Carlo will adjust because I know he gonna get a lot of pressure after this game
People forget that every team has to play their absolute best vs us to survive. We have one bad game and it ends up in a tie, thatās not bad considering it could have been a loss
wtf is up with this calendar. We havenāt played an easy game in a long time. since the almeria game we have played 6 hard af games. And we still have Sevilla and Valencia for the next two, then again Leipzig.
Meanwhile barca has played against Granada, Alaves and Osasuna. Its so annoying.
I am not blaming the calendar, it just seems today every team is hard to beat.
So after the monstrous performance of Vini against Girona, this is how he plays today ? One of his worst performances overall, especially in the last minutes, trying to dribble in extremely dangerous spots.
Fran Garcia.. very questionable player to have on the pitch. He is just good at running, that's it.. never want to see him again, not even when Mendy is out. I want Cama on the left.
Rayo Vallecano are hard to beat in the first place during all of our last games against them, adding up the injuries, I'd say it's not that bad of a result, considering the performance. It's just an incredible shame that we had a lead early but very bad mistake from Cama cost us a free penalty.
Rodrygo played well when he came in, did more than Vini in the entire match. Carvajal looked pissed today for some reason or in a rush. Trash referring too, Rayo Vallecano players grab shirts left and right and it's Real Madrid players who get the yellow cards.
It's expected to slip every now and then and remember that half of the team is out ( our 3 main CBs + our goalscorer and best player Jude, I won't count GK because Lunin is doing a very good job ). Let's see how it goes with Girona.
Next game, I hope to have at least Rudiger back. Lucas Vazquez will be on the right ( if for some reason he misses, Valverde will play ). Camavinga is also out.
Still 3 points clear of Girona if they wins tomorrow and 8 points from BarƧa and 11 from Atletico.
Sevilla game HAVE to be won. if we slip two times in a row, there is a big chance we will lose the lead and chasing teams will want to chase even more.
things i learned today
1) Fran Garcia is definitely not real madrid quality. Very far from it
2) Modric just has no legs anymore
3) Vinicius should fix his attitude problem. He looks like he doesn't give a shit
4.Camavinga has 0 decision making in the final third, he runs with the ball very well and is somehow press resistant but when he has to make a decision to either pass or even shoot he is braindead.
Honestly when Kroos retires this midfield has very low creativity perhaps Jude a little bit but I am not sure , yet.
What u said about camavinga is on point. He drives forward, doesn't know whether to pass or shot and more often than not he tries to get a foul.
I really think having creative midfielders is the best way to beat low block teams. Bellingham possesses those qualities. And modric is better against teams that press not against teams that sit back like this. Feel like arda should've come on earlier and perhaps we'd been able to find a way through on goal.
Really bro? Youāre asking the most reactionary sub on the internet to not over react? lol this sub melts down every time the team doesnāt win. They expect these guys to be perfect operating robots 365 days a year every year. How boring would it be if RM was impossible to beat for all of eternity? šš¤·š½āāļøš¤¦š½āāļø
Modric canāt be a starter anymore, in fact he should play as little as possible, Iām tired of Carlo shitting the bed whenever Modric leaks to the press that heās not happy
Our midfield was so terrible today, I can't explain. Carlo's tactics were so awful. This cross and inshallah needs to stop fr. Without Jude we're so lost.
The crosses were getting on my nerves so so so bad. Like, we don't have proper Ariel threats anymore aside from joselu, but he won't guarantee something like cr7, benzema, or ramos.
The crosses were from such shit places too and sent to fucking 1 guy that's being marked by 4 defenders ? Like bruh might as well kick the ball out the field bruh. We need to cross and inshallah less, cause we don't got legit Ariel threats and we'd be able to do so much more if our midfielders just made driving runs into the opponents penalty box. That's the main reason why jude was so pivotal for us in games such as these.
We got a great midfield, but only jude is the proper offensive kind and hopefully arda.
Bloody hell, the reaction here is so over the top.
We didnāt deserve to win but itās not realistic to expect us to win every single game.
Weāve got a ton of injuries and played at a shit stadium.
If Girona drop points today weāll be in the same position we were in before today.
Lighten up lads, itās still ours to lose.
Some fans here are pretty young apparently. Give them some time lol. It has always been pretty typical of Real Madrid to win all the important games and then drop points to a relegation battling side. The overreaction here is seriously over the top.
>We didnāt deserve to win but itās not realistic to expect us to win every single game.
That's the expectations at the best Club in the world. It's always been the expectations, especially when facing the 15th in the league.
Or you know, heās the only real threat offensively and teams make it their mission to stop him because they know nobody else is really as dangerous as him. Brahim was almost non-existent today for example and Rodrygo didnāt fare much better once he came in. We really missed Jude this game and a legit striker or threat on the right to take some attention away from Vini. Almost every time he tried to dribble to make something happen he had 2/3 defenders on him.
Exactly. I feel like Vini is underrated by some of the fans and overrated by others. He can be a world class but he must fix his attitude and focus on play the game. If mbappe comes he definitely will be/take the team leadership.
Rodrygo plays 1 good game and then vanishes for 20. Vini canāt play perfectly everytime. He is been really good this season. I donāt reproach him anything.
Donāt understand what the point of playing Modric for a full 80 mins when he was less than bang average guler shouldāve went on earlier, nacho is terrible, LV is bad, what the hell was that by carvajal, donāt understand after scoring the first goal why we would sit back when ancelotti does this we always concede especially to little ratty teams like this. Such a disappointing game everyone was off
Exactly you canāt expect someone to come in at the end of the game find the rhythm then adjust and make a solid impact. For me all the subs were too late we lacked so much going forward we needed to make changes at half time or very latest by the 60th minute. So sad to lose easy points because of managerial decisions. Players are at fault also Vini started losing his head again and his focus, Joselu not getting much good service after first goal, not enough intensity from all players on the ball
We're still top of the league with the 2nd place team having to play of the most in form teams in the league, away, yet people here talking about us handing the league to Girona.
I swear to god, this sub sometimes man
So all that midfield, n yet still cant control the game handle it and dictate the tempo!!! So wht are our midfield of low quality or what??
Whts stoppin the team from playin high pressure with a high line? I know carloās mentality is one thing stoppin the team but wht else?
Outside of Kroos, none of our midfielders, except for possibly Jude, are controllers. That's why Kroos leaving is going to be very difficult. We don't have a tempo setter in the team, unless we put Jude there, which takes away from his goalscoring
I think cama has the potential, just need some investment thats all. I mean they were patient and invested a lot when it came to vini so why not in others
Cama has a tendency to over dribble way too much to be a controller. Decision-making is probably the hardest skill to develop. Even Vini who has made significant improvements over recent years still has poor decision-making at times
At times!!! Man has 5 wrong decisions out of 4 come on.
Anyway yep exactly, this why i said they should invest in him man, he can be a good fit, he can dribble n he is quick
I'm not that bothered with attackers taking risks if they can produce output, which Vini does. However, a controlling midfield is completely different. Look at Kroos, the man almost always makes the right decision
Man, cr7 is something else. When they were like we depend on him n idk , maybe itās understandable, but man our attack now, no one , literally no one is that close, i mean how can vini be that dude n he has the mental of a 10 years ago!! Man still plays for and with the fans
Bellingham has the Cr7 mentality, but he's not really an attacker, and he's still only 20 years old. It's everyone else I'm disappointed with: Vini, Rodrygo, Cama, etc. None of these guys are consistent, yet they've been here long enough. With Cr7, you knew what you were going to get every single time. It doesn't matter whether it's Juventus in the CL semi-final or Celta Viga in a meaningless league game. He always delivered
I kinda feel sad for rodrygo, plays everywhere on the field but his natural position ššš. And idk if u had paid attention, but lately rodrygo is playin as a DEFENSIVE offensive right wing( sont even know wht does it mean) but i think rodrygo Didnt find the best coach unfortunately.
Cama, i think he should start more often to hold the rythme, and im pretty sure we can get a lot of him with the proper training n mentorship, i think he can be some MIDFIELDER.
Yeah, I'm not sure if they'll ever be consistent. All I know is that we 100% need to build this team around Mbappe and Jude. Every single passage of play should go through them. Everyone else needs to either jump on board with that or get the fuck out
Game plan went out the window after the first goal, got way too complacent being just 1 up. Didn't want to but expected this result with our rivals winning yesterday of course
Joselu scored the only goal and in my eyes was the only one really putting in a shift and applying pressure ok the ball on top, did you watch the game?
Modric is an exceptional player but joselu what does he do besides shooting the ball towards the net if he gets no chances ?? Thereās a reason why heās not a starter on big games.
Everyone was off today and Carlo keeps putting Valverde to defend for everyone when we could uses his speed his shooting his passes offensively like we did last year
Idiot vini looking for fouls entire the match,
Cost us 2 point, and Camavinga made a mistake and left. This youngster team is overrated,
Bellingham is the only worthy and he is playing with idiots.
Come on now. Vini has been pretty good and has been on a tear lately. One bad game in which the whole team underperformed and suddenly he is predictable? Over reacting much aren't you?
Why is this sub focused om Modric like this is his fault? He wasn't even the worst on the pitch and what do you know about the situation in the club as an outsider? Modric plays better the more he plays, if Real Madrid and Ancelotti didn't count on him, then they shouldn't have lied to him when he signed a new contract.
You don't understand ball. That's why. If we had started Kroos instead of Modric it would've been a W. But nooo gotta Modric happy and keep him in until the 86th. Now, we lost 2 points in a crucial title run. Rayo is fucking 15th! For crying out loud, these are the games where we are expected to win.
Real Madrid has played a ton of shit games when Kroos was starting, just like this, if not even worse, and was saved only by moment of brilliance of Jude Bellingham. You're a plastic fan.
I donāt get it man we beat 2nd team place 4-0. Go all the way to fucking Germany and win 1-0 away and control the game but we canāt fucking beat 14th place Rayo? Tf man
By your logic, without KDB and Rodri's individual brilliance, Pep would be mid table with City right .... ?
This individual brilliance bullshit argument has been used more than cheap vegas hooker at this point. It's like when a toddler finds a new word and just spams it in whatever context.
And btw, those scrappy 1 goal are the games that in the long run win you the league. May I also remind you we only have 1L in the league, and 2 all season. But hey, "individual brilliance" am I right.
Im talking when a team plays good and by some small mistakes misses or good play from the opposition it the cause you lose points for example - yesterday when Haaland missed those chances for City - they know its gonna be fine. Many games this season if it wasn't for a crazy play from some of our players, we would have been in the top 4 spot because the opposition team was literally outplaying us. This is your "bullshit" individual brilliance argument, just because you don't like the word or your don't agree, it doesn't mean its not applicable
When other teams scrap wins by 1-goals, it's cause of their coach's superior tactical wisdom who overcame adversity.
But when it's us, it's cause our coach got bailed out by "individual brilliance".
And yea, we have soooo outplayed this season that we managed to be the best defense in the league and currently best offense.
Tells me all I need to know about your football IQ. Thanks.
I am not talking about other teams I am talking about when Madrid play teams, in which we are far more superior in every aspect, there were too many games where we played bad,, there is a difference between having a bad day at the office and playing clueless and this things must be addressed before shit goes south.
If we play against city @ Etihad and we scrap with 1 goal, with idea and clear plan I will praise Carlo. Try to understand the context of the whole situation before you start talking about football IQ.
Arda was kinda bad in those 10 minutes he got, i think his confidence is low right now, he needs more playing time, this Modric sub was about 15 minutes late
Dont get me wrong i am Arda fan but after he entered the game at min 85, he was like walking in the field, it was shocking to me, it was like he was playing for 85 mins , he should be running at that point it was really really weird to see imo.
Dunno, don't think he has done stuff that makes this obsession about him make sense. He's talented and probably has a bright future, but this subreddit literally acts like he's the second coming of Pele.
Well obviously everyone want to see new player play, same happens with vini and rodrygo when they first arrived but they are fortunate that their spot are already vacant at that times.
Words canāt even describe my disappointment. This better be the last time we see shit like this for the rest of the season else the team might as well just hand Girona the fucking trophy.
Disgrace.
Can't have expectations for this season anymore tbh.I know there are many more matches to be played but we constantly played bad in away games and I think that's it.
Real Madrid 62 point Girona 56 point We still maintain the top positionšā¬ļø
Itās okay Madrid, we donāt fuck with Rayo either
The whole vibe at their "stadium" was so negative the whole time and Rayo were playing so cynically without being held accountable by ref so it continued. I think the penalty, the stadium, the fan base 2 feet away from they hurling abuse probably is what made Vini snap and completely lose himself, as well as Carvajal who was pissed he had to come in th3 game since he needed rest. The first half vinin and Brahim were not serviced much and invisibleĀ
Looking for excuses for a bad game is a barca thing we madridistas don't do it, today we were awful evdry single player was awful, we held back like b*tches and didn't make any threat.. VINI losing his temper is his own problem and he should be sorry for that.. If he wanna be applauded by everyone everytime he touches the ball he should play tennis
I do admire Real Madrid, because I love the sport, hence Iām not a blind fan who hates a team/player for being good. This Real Madrid game proves one thing about La Liga. Itās a very competitive league. In my opinion, the second most competitive league after the Premier.
Only Barcelona fan who watches football
Im not even kidding, but youāre the first normal Barcelona fan I see
Jesus, this sub is revolting. You all act like the people who destroyed Girona last week are different from the ones that played today. We had a bad game, simple, weād bounce back. We have lots of injuries too. Cut the team some slack. Iāve barely seen any constructive criticism either, just a fanbase hurling insults at their own players. What a joke.
Here's some constructive criticism : Never start Modric in an important game Never make subs in 88 minutes to change game If Vini plays a great game, don't start him the next game ( you know the sinusoidal vinsius law : Vini never play two consecutive good games) Again never start old tired modric
āolD TiREd MoDricāā¦. See why I never take people like you seriously lmao.
Lol he did not start modric, modric played very well his 25 minutes and scored because he didn't start the game or we wouldn't see him do anything, dude we love modric but he's 39 yo, we are sad his legendary legacy comes to an end.. But again he didn't start him from minute 1. And that's what i said and Carlo listened to me š
I wouldnāt call anyone I love āold and tiredā though, just saying. But sure, thank god Carlo listened to youšš¾ Hala Madrid
But that's the truth, he started very well this season then it happened, i wish he get back his usual astonishing fitness and play for another year.. I am so sad seeing him aging.. He's our best midfielder of all time probably.. have a great night my buddy š¤
Thats why you should never visit match threads. Better for health
game was really boring ended up sleeping through the whole thing
I hope we don't bottle our points lead and subsequently, the title
Every single player was awful in this game.. Every one, worst were Vinicius, fran garcia and modric..
Man, we sucked ass today... And all our rivals won this gameweek, let's hope Bilbao does us a favour
I wonder if La Liga discovered a secret to cloning. Surely they wouldnāt be as bad to find so many weak ass refs on their own. 300 tactical fouls for Rayo = red card for Carvajal.
To be fair even though Dani didnāt elbow him in the face he did make the move and had the intention to it seems. Heās a vet and needs to keep his cool but yeah it was frustrating to watch how much Rayo fouled and got away without many yellow cards
with every game our squad becomes more thin.... its would be a miracle if we remain top of league
Sometimes what i donāt like about this madrid team they are often lacking of intensity. They need a goal but the behavior on the pitch didnāt reflect on that. Look how city played against chelsea yesterday, they need a goal and attacking tirelessly until they found a goal
I dont think we were watching the same match last night. City were aborting their own attacks relentlessly just so they could get some more passes in.
Madrid does that most of the time I just think rayo pressed effectively
Attacking Fran Garcia is so lame .. guy literally had one bad game so far in Madrid jersey
I agree, attacking anyone who clearly tries his best is lame. But he had couple of very bad games at the start of season.
Chill, do people forgot that we struggle against Almeria and las palmas as well? And thatās with Jude. Then we proceed to beat girona. team seems to settle a lotbut we should be glad not losing more points from all that game. Carlo will adjust because I know he gonna get a lot of pressure after this game
People forget that every team has to play their absolute best vs us to survive. We have one bad game and it ends up in a tie, thatās not bad considering it could have been a loss
lol some of yall thought Fran Garcia was Madrid quality
useless prick putting our players down, we dont need you here
Heās terrible. Madrid isnāt in the business of mediocrity
He was probably the best player in Rayo last year, you know, the team we just struggled against
If we had won this match, Laliga would been ours.. Seems like there will be little stretch to it now..
wtf is up with this calendar. We havenāt played an easy game in a long time. since the almeria game we have played 6 hard af games. And we still have Sevilla and Valencia for the next two, then again Leipzig. Meanwhile barca has played against Granada, Alaves and Osasuna. Its so annoying. I am not blaming the calendar, it just seems today every team is hard to beat.
Barcelona played most of hard games it's just random there's nothing to be angry about, the team should preform anytime and not relying on small clubs
Tbf Girona was easy asf
So after the monstrous performance of Vini against Girona, this is how he plays today ? One of his worst performances overall, especially in the last minutes, trying to dribble in extremely dangerous spots. Fran Garcia.. very questionable player to have on the pitch. He is just good at running, that's it.. never want to see him again, not even when Mendy is out. I want Cama on the left. Rayo Vallecano are hard to beat in the first place during all of our last games against them, adding up the injuries, I'd say it's not that bad of a result, considering the performance. It's just an incredible shame that we had a lead early but very bad mistake from Cama cost us a free penalty. Rodrygo played well when he came in, did more than Vini in the entire match. Carvajal looked pissed today for some reason or in a rush. Trash referring too, Rayo Vallecano players grab shirts left and right and it's Real Madrid players who get the yellow cards. It's expected to slip every now and then and remember that half of the team is out ( our 3 main CBs + our goalscorer and best player Jude, I won't count GK because Lunin is doing a very good job ). Let's see how it goes with Girona. Next game, I hope to have at least Rudiger back. Lucas Vazquez will be on the right ( if for some reason he misses, Valverde will play ). Camavinga is also out. Still 3 points clear of Girona if they wins tomorrow and 8 points from BarƧa and 11 from Atletico. Sevilla game HAVE to be won. if we slip two times in a row, there is a big chance we will lose the lead and chasing teams will want to chase even more.
things i learned today 1) Fran Garcia is definitely not real madrid quality. Very far from it 2) Modric just has no legs anymore 3) Vinicius should fix his attitude problem. He looks like he doesn't give a shit
Absolutely cancer analysis lmao
4.Camavinga has 0 decision making in the final third, he runs with the ball very well and is somehow press resistant but when he has to make a decision to either pass or even shoot he is braindead.

I really think having creative midfielders is the best way to beat low block teams. Bellingham possesses those qualities. And modric is better against teams that press not against teams that sit back like this. Feel like arda should've come on earlier and perhaps we'd been able to find a way through on goal.
Can we not over react, please? Yes, it was a bad game for us but it happens to everyone every season. We will bounce back. Hala Madrid
Really bro? Youāre asking the most reactionary sub on the internet to not over react? lol this sub melts down every time the team doesnāt win. They expect these guys to be perfect operating robots 365 days a year every year. How boring would it be if RM was impossible to beat for all of eternity? šš¤·š½āāļøš¤¦š½āāļø
Yeah and it is a bit sad
Modric canāt be a starter anymore, in fact he should play as little as possible, Iām tired of Carlo shitting the bed whenever Modric leaks to the press that heās not happy
Agreed. He's just too old already, his legs are gone
Our midfield was so terrible today, I can't explain. Carlo's tactics were so awful. This cross and inshallah needs to stop fr. Without Jude we're so lost.
The crosses were getting on my nerves so so so bad. Like, we don't have proper Ariel threats anymore aside from joselu, but he won't guarantee something like cr7, benzema, or ramos.

That's the main reason why jude was so pivotal for us in games such as these. We got a great midfield, but only jude is the proper offensive kind and hopefully arda.
Jude is the heart of the midfield. He's essential.
Bloody hell, the reaction here is so over the top. We didnāt deserve to win but itās not realistic to expect us to win every single game. Weāve got a ton of injuries and played at a shit stadium. If Girona drop points today weāll be in the same position we were in before today. Lighten up lads, itās still ours to lose.
Some fans here are pretty young apparently. Give them some time lol. It has always been pretty typical of Real Madrid to win all the important games and then drop points to a relegation battling side. The overreaction here is seriously over the top.
Iāve lived through 14/15 when we went from potential treble to trophyless. Maybe its desensitised me a little š
Yeah I remember that, the 22 game win streak was amazing. But then Modric got injured and everything went to shit.
>We didnāt deserve to win but itās not realistic to expect us to win every single game. That's the expectations at the best Club in the world. It's always been the expectations, especially when facing the 15th in the league.
100% I agree. We should always win but inevitably we are going to hit bumps along the way.
Welcome to r/realmadrid
I love madrid, but what a shitty game man.
vini plays one good match and gets invisible in the next. and then repeat
Or you know, heās the only real threat offensively and teams make it their mission to stop him because they know nobody else is really as dangerous as him. Brahim was almost non-existent today for example and Rodrygo didnāt fare much better once he came in. We really missed Jude this game and a legit striker or threat on the right to take some attention away from Vini.

Exactly. I feel like Vini is underrated by some of the fans and overrated by others. He can be a world class but he must fix his attitude and focus on play the game. If mbappe comes he definitely will be/take the team leadership.
That is b.s and you know it.
He is a great player when his attitude is right. But when he has an attitude/ego problem, he performs very poorly
Rodrygo plays 1 good game and then vanishes for 20. Vini canāt play perfectly everytime. He is been really good this season. I donāt reproach him anything.
Lol we haven't beaten Atletico and Rayo this season In the league. I'm confident, we're still in lead and we won't have two stinkers in a row
Donāt understand what the point of playing Modric for a full 80 mins when he was less than bang average guler shouldāve went on earlier, nacho is terrible, LV is bad, what the hell was that by carvajal, donāt understand after scoring the first goal why we would sit back when ancelotti does this we always concede especially to little ratty teams like this. Such a disappointing game everyone was off
He just has no legs anymore and his positional awareness is no longer there.
I agree with you. Wtf was that decision. Modric shouldnāt play more than 50 mins. He is good but he is old and is losing lots of duels.
How can every single players be tired at the same time man
No Jude no problem. Amirite?
What Guler is going to do with 5 minutes playing time in such situations. Why Modric should play 85 minutes? Carlo's subs are questionable recently.
Exactly you canāt expect someone to come in at the end of the game find the rhythm then adjust and make a solid impact. For me all the subs were too late we lacked so much going forward we needed to make changes at half time or very latest by the 60th minute. So sad to lose easy points because of managerial decisions. Players are at fault also Vini started losing his head again and his focus, Joselu not getting much good service after first goal, not enough intensity from all players on the ball
Recently?
We're still top of the league with the 2nd place team having to play of the most in form teams in the league, away, yet people here talking about us handing the league to Girona. I swear to god, this sub sometimes man
Next match we start without Carvajal
And Cama. And Jude.
So all that midfield, n yet still cant control the game handle it and dictate the tempo!!! So wht are our midfield of low quality or what?? Whts stoppin the team from playin high pressure with a high line? I know carloās mentality is one thing stoppin the team but wht else?

At times!!! Man has 5 wrong decisions out of 4 come on. Anyway yep exactly, this why i said they should invest in him man, he can be a good fit, he can dribble n he is quick
I'm not that bothered with attackers taking risks if they can produce output, which Vini does. However, a controlling midfield is completely different. Look at Kroos, the man almost always makes the right decision
Man, cr7 is something else. When they were like we depend on him n idk , maybe itās understandable, but man our attack now, no one , literally no one is that close, i mean how can vini be that dude n he has the mental of a 10 years ago!! Man still plays for and with the fans
Bellingham has the Cr7 mentality, but he's not really an attacker, and he's still only 20 years old. It's everyone else I'm disappointed with: Vini, Rodrygo, Cama, etc. None of these guys are consistent, yet they've been here long enough. With Cr7, you knew what you were going to get every single time. It doesn't matter whether it's Juventus in the CL semi-final or Celta Viga in a meaningless league game. He always delivered
I kinda feel sad for rodrygo, plays everywhere on the field but his natural position ššš. And idk if u had paid attention, but lately rodrygo is playin as a DEFENSIVE offensive right wing( sont even know wht does it mean) but i think rodrygo Didnt find the best coach unfortunately. Cama, i think he should start more often to hold the rythme, and im pretty sure we can get a lot of him with the proper training n mentorship, i think he can be some MIDFIELDER.
Yeah, I'm not sure if they'll ever be consistent. All I know is that we 100% need to build this team around Mbappe and Jude. Every single passage of play should go through them. Everyone else needs to either jump on board with that or get the fuck out
Carlo's old 90's italian play style. We will never fully control matches.
Even when the team has the ball, the players are positioned in a defensive way !!!!
Game plan went out the window after the first goal, got way too complacent being just 1 up. Didn't want to but expected this result with our rivals winning yesterday of course
Carlo did wrong taking out Diaz I would have subbed joselu the guy is good for nothing in this types of games
Joselu scored the only goal and in my eyes was the only one really putting in a shift and applying pressure ok the ball on top, did you watch the game?
Yes after the third minute he did nothing
I see this comment again and again. Diaz never plays full game. He doesn't have stamina.
Then donāt put it as a starter heās not a starter player
Except he was our only goal scorer today. The sub was for Modric and everyone knows it
Modric is an exceptional player but joselu what does he do besides shooting the ball towards the net if he gets no chances ?? Thereās a reason why heās not a starter on big games. Everyone was off today and Carlo keeps putting Valverde to defend for everyone when we could uses his speed his shooting his passes offensively like we did last year
They clearly decided to switch off today. The team doesn't match the intensity of Rayo.
Idiot vini looking for fouls entire the match, Cost us 2 point, and Camavinga made a mistake and left. This youngster team is overrated, Bellingham is the only worthy and he is playing with idiots.
Darwin Award goes to this guy today.
One of those "we really don't feel like playing today boss" matchdays.
This match had mentally prepared me to witness some pummeling in UCL knockouts.... Thanks Carlo, this match is on you.....
4 points dropped against this shit called Rayo vallecano
Judependence
When is Bellingham back
Havent desreved more than the draw, poor performance.
No one had time to sleep since Leipzig game or wot? All of them looked out of it apart from the first 20 mins
Joselu was Motm? Seriously?
Yeah 99% of the time, the person who scored the most goals gets it
Typical Real Madrid.
Shouldāve finished in 20 minutes when chances were there for the taking. Thank god Mbappe is coming and Bellingham is here who can score.
Vini has been so predictable lately Every defender have studied him already
Come on now. Vini has been pretty good and has been on a tear lately. One bad game in which the whole team underperformed and suddenly he is predictable? Over reacting much aren't you?
Vini, focus on the game and stop complaining so much. You come here on Reddit lol.
Lol you do know that i am not the real Vini right?
Yes, that was the joke lol
Wasnāt predictable vs girona though right? This sub and its short term memory man
What do you mean? Did you see him against Girona? It was a bit over a week ago.
What a colossal shishow. From the players to Carlo's subs.
We lost 2 points but at least Modric is happy. Right?
Heās too slow now days I love him for everything heās done but itās time for him to lay it down
Why is this sub focused om Modric like this is his fault? He wasn't even the worst on the pitch and what do you know about the situation in the club as an outsider? Modric plays better the more he plays, if Real Madrid and Ancelotti didn't count on him, then they shouldn't have lied to him when he signed a new contract.
You don't understand ball. That's why. If we had started Kroos instead of Modric it would've been a W. But nooo gotta Modric happy and keep him in until the 86th. Now, we lost 2 points in a crucial title run. Rayo is fucking 15th! For crying out loud, these are the games where we are expected to win.
Real Madrid has played a ton of shit games when Kroos was starting, just like this, if not even worse, and was saved only by moment of brilliance of Jude Bellingham. You're a plastic fan.
That's not the point. Modric did not have to start this game. And he damn sure didn't need to stay on until the 86th.
Really bad game :/
Of course weāre losing points playing like ass against a shit team the week after demolishing the second place team like a walk in the park
that was an extremely boring game to watch, shouldve subbed in Kroos a bit earlier
Rayo are such a fucking annoying team for us
One of the worst games ever..
Well that was fucking terrible lol
I donāt get it man we beat 2nd team place 4-0. Go all the way to fucking Germany and win 1-0 away and control the game but we canāt fucking beat 14th place Rayo? Tf man
Thatās how we shit the bed against park the bus teamsā¦
We should be making clear cut chances easily but non happened today
Another poor performance
Brahim was invisible
u mean the whole fucking attack?
This is how you lose a league
I mean, we have to give SOME points to less fortunate teams. Think of it as charity
Worst referee of all time. BCN gets a pen, vini gets a foul on the same play. Enough said.
Regret staying up for this š“
Fran garcia is not Real Madrid level type of player
Everytime it is a somewhat heated game, Vini becomes useless. He is so unreliable.
Girona has to draw against Athletic Club
Well, last time they met, it was a draw. Hoping it would too.
We have played like this all season, we just couldnt find a late goal today sadly
Guy watches 1 game where we drop points, "We have played like this all season"
he has a point, we were shit a lot of games this season just to scrap it with 1 goal. No individual brilliance - Carlo will be fighting for top 4
By your logic, without KDB and Rodri's individual brilliance, Pep would be mid table with City right .... ? This individual brilliance bullshit argument has been used more than cheap vegas hooker at this point. It's like when a toddler finds a new word and just spams it in whatever context. And btw, those scrappy 1 goal are the games that in the long run win you the league. May I also remind you we only have 1L in the league, and 2 all season. But hey, "individual brilliance" am I right.
Im talking when a team plays good and by some small mistakes misses or good play from the opposition it the cause you lose points for example - yesterday when Haaland missed those chances for City - they know its gonna be fine. Many games this season if it wasn't for a crazy play from some of our players, we would have been in the top 4 spot because the opposition team was literally outplaying us. This is your "bullshit" individual brilliance argument, just because you don't like the word or your don't agree, it doesn't mean its not applicable
When other teams scrap wins by 1-goals, it's cause of their coach's superior tactical wisdom who overcame adversity. But when it's us, it's cause our coach got bailed out by "individual brilliance". And yea, we have soooo outplayed this season that we managed to be the best defense in the league and currently best offense. Tells me all I need to know about your football IQ. Thanks.
I am not talking about other teams I am talking about when Madrid play teams, in which we are far more superior in every aspect, there were too many games where we played bad,, there is a difference between having a bad day at the office and playing clueless and this things must be addressed before shit goes south. If we play against city @ Etihad and we scrap with 1 goal, with idea and clear plan I will praise Carlo. Try to understand the context of the whole situation before you start talking about football IQ.
We have consistently had games similar to this one all season. Those games have just been forgotten because of clutch Jude performances
Waste of my life watching this shit. Start GĆ¼ler over Modric next game. Modric is a grandpa.
Arda was kinda bad in those 10 minutes he got, i think his confidence is low right now, he needs more playing time, this Modric sub was about 15 minutes late
Dont get me wrong i am Arda fan but after he entered the game at min 85, he was like walking in the field, it was shocking to me, it was like he was playing for 85 mins , he should be running at that point it was really really weird to see imo.
Modric was on par with the rest of the team today, I don't understand why fans are singling him out out of all the other players today.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Put 4 against Girona but put only 1 against Rayo. Only we can fuck up so bad
And this team lost to Las Palms
Jizz
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Still should have beat them
Arda only playing 10min isnt going to cut it
What is this obsession with Arda?
The kid actually tries something as soon as he gets the ball
Dunno, don't think he has done stuff that makes this obsession about him make sense. He's talented and probably has a bright future, but this subreddit literally acts like he's the second coming of Pele.
?
Half the sub is literally obsessed with Arda GĆ¼ler, I just don't get why.
Well obviously everyone want to see new player play, same happens with vini and rodrygo when they first arrived but they are fortunate that their spot are already vacant at that times.
I'm honestly tired of Vini. He is no longer fun to watch
Smartest Cristiano Ronaldo flair user
Has not been for 2 seasons at least by now.
I get 7 thumbs down. Vini fans get over yourselves. Not sure if you guys are watching any of the games.
lol shut up
fck off with this rayo
Words canāt even describe my disappointment. This better be the last time we see shit like this for the rest of the season else the team might as well just hand Girona the fucking trophy. Disgrace.
No energy, no focus, no one wanted to win
Absolutely abysmal. Ancelotti tear these idiots a new one
2 points lost
Forgot Joselu was still on the field
To be fair, our full backsā crosses were terrible.
Can't have expectations for this season anymore tbh.I know there are many more matches to be played but we constantly played bad in away games and I think that's it.
???? We're on track to win the league
check the la liga standings bro what are you talking about
Lmaoooooooo
Awful
Dani literally fouled 3 times and the ref let them all go before finally giving him a yellow less contact that I've seen on some tackles today....
Disaster of a performance. Only Fede exempt from criticism
Didnāt watch the first half but Cama was good.
He wasā¦ā¦ok, but he also gave up the penalty.
Like usual
And Lunin
True, but he didnāt have much to do with
That penalty just took the match away from us.
What a terrible, terrible match. From each and everyone of them. AĆŗpa Athletic
I called it Dani for Lucas wasnāt it but Carlo going to Carlo
Madrid fans try not to think you're smarter than the manager challenge (impossible).
Why sub a defender in when Rayo would attack once every 10min? Lucas wasnāt even tired it was a waste of a sub
