Liverpool vs Real Madrid

Told you Hala.

I was under assuption that Bale would start so forgive me

That's my boy Isco.

I knew they could do it.

Good game, Outplayed us. Hopefully we keep it tighter in the second one which probably wont happen. Cheers.

Great game. Everyone played great tbh.

Marcelo and Arbeloa were great hala. I can't name anyone who wasn't great. Isco standout though, fantastic performance from him.

We weren't perfect though. Defensively we're still a bit fragile. Barca can exploit that

5 star performance tbh.. Madrid...no words! *thumbs up*

I agree valk, we struggle to defend passes between our cbs and fullbacks, Carvajal is fast so can get back in position but Marcelo might be a bit of a worry. But we stopped playing after the hour mark so anything that happened defensively after that does not count

While Barca will punish us for any lapses in concentration, we have gotten our high pressing back so they will find it hard to circulate the ball between their defenders

Btw Isco is truly magic. The close control, the dribbling, the defending. Damn he is like a new player this season. To think that last season we thought he would never adapt as LCM. Hope Carlo starts him permanently from now on

Carlo on Ronaldo's substitution

"It wasn't agreed on earlier, but we did it to avoid problems. I didn't ask him before taking him off. I didn't need to. It's impossible to ask a player when he's on the pitch. Now we all have to do everything we can to recover from this match. Cristiano worked really hard, he sprinted a number of times and I preferred to take him off to avoid risks."

Dat subtle dig at Lucho

leaving aside the game, the squad is fecking complete. the depth is great when everyone is fit.
