Exactly. I just feel it's my duty to point out injustice and corruption when I see them.
And I'm very neutral about Real Madrid, easily as neutral as @farfan is

On the other hand, I imagine he would find it difficult to quite have the same impact at a different club, mainly because Dortmund’s playing style allows him a lot of freedom and time on the ball, which in turn allows him to play to his strengths. His vision or ability to spot runs ranges from exceptional to below par, and this may be a controversial opinion, but goals and assists aside, his sustainable quality doesn’t strike me as all that impressive, even when his statistics may suggest otherwise.

To put his current circumstances into context, he was liability-level awful in Dortmund’s thrashing of relegation bound, Paderborn last month. He wasted possession countless times, missed multiple great runs behind the defenders by his team mates and showcased his, in my opinion, quite unimpressive mid to long- distance shooting ability by missing the target from positions where passing the ball would’ve ensured much higher chances of scoring goals.

It’s the end result that counts, of course. And he was widely praised for the hattrick he scored, in a match where also fullback, Marcel Schmelzer scored his first goal in 5+ years. I can’t help but feel that, despite his occasional, high- quality performances, Dortmund tend to look more cohesive when he doesn’t play. At the same time, his positive contributions at Dortmund are magnified, while his weaker sides seem to be swept under a rug. It reminds me a bit of Coutinho at Liverpool.
