Real Madrid should have won 8-1

That's very harsh on our players who played their hearts out. We can't ask for more than a win.

We can't expect strikers to score every one of their chances, it's an unrealistic target.

By similar logic we should've lost 15-0 to Liverpool in the Champions league a couple years back.

The video wasn't meant to be overly critical, it was made by rom7oooo, who makes a lot of Madrid videos on Youtube. But man, Higuain, sucked huge balls in that match, his composure in big matches is surely suspect. I wouldn't start him in any big match this season, unless his finishing really improves.

Who cares, we won the trophy that's all that matters. People will remember that we dominated the match!!!

Yea, *bleep* Higuain! He sucks at finishing so much Rolling Eyes

Don't act like Benzema scores in every chance. He has had plenty of these kind of matches too. Some of these chances wouldn't even have happened with Benzema on the field because he drops too deep.

And give some credit to Valdes too, because we was actually good in this match. Not just against Higuain but against every our player.

That video is also quite shitty and title is completely missleading. It's not like every dangerous shot is supposed to be goal and title should be "could have won", not "should have won".

But like Aggerswagger said, be happy that we won. It's not necessary to always dig every negative thing from matches that are won.

I'm happy we won but we could easily have lost that tie. Higuain was not alone in the missed chances department, Khedira and Di Maria missed sitters as well.

The thing is that had Pedro and Messi taken their chances in that match, Barcelona could have won despite Madrid creating the better chances. There would have been a total meltdown after the match, from Marca, As and the fans in general. Higuain would have taken the biggest blame, he had a poor game by all standards despite scoring a goal.
