What a disgrace.

I though Di Maria provided a stiff competition.

Good on ya to take the topic off hand, dimwit. This isn't about Di Maria (whom btw was being a good boy today).

If it is about diving, it is about Di Maria.
They like to hide their errors and start complaining about other things like how the Ribery goal was apparently offside xD.

Oh please kindly fu*k off, i've been reading every thread after the game and i didn't see a single Madrid fan complaining about that goal. it was a Bayern fan who thought the goal was offside.

Ribéry is the real dangerman, not Robben... for like the 6th time.

Has been in total beast mode for 2 years now.

Robben's still class, but has been injured/inconsistent since his 2010 season.

i really doubted arbeloa, i thought he would repeatedly get skinned by ribery.. but really, ribery was only effective against coentrao when he switched wings IMO.. thats where he was most dangerous.

Talking about Ronaldo and di Maria in a Ribery thread. When a Madrid fan says Ribery wasn't that great, some people literally think they're saying:

1. Ribery wasn't amazing, Arbeloa handled him well.
2. Therefore, Ronaldo had a better/good performance.

When the second part is nowhere to be seen.
:facepalm:

Where's RedOranje?

OT: Although he hardly beat Arbeloa, he still had a very good performance, IMO. His decision-making was great. He kept possession very well and created space for his teammates.

by BiasedMilanFan3 Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:20 am

Madrid fans= Arbeloa owned him
Barca/Bayern fans= Ribery :bow:

Geez, GL really is Madrid-Barca flavored today.

And Barca didn't even play...

by Lord Awesome Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:22 am

Ribery played well actually but so did Arbeloa. Both cancelled each other out on their flank.

Ribery should get MOTM, IMO.

by kiranr Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:27 am

Arbeloa had a lot of help from the other Madrid players, mind you. Di Maria tracked back a lot especially in the second. Ribery was often double teamed.

by Lord Awesome Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:31 am

Di Maria was nigh invisble in this game. Arbeloa had help but he did his bit as well.

Arbeloa's failure occured at the end when Gomez scored.

Yeah, he was played in the middle most of the match. But whenever he was on the flank, he did track back a lot.

Arbeloa had a great game, but just saying that he had help on that flank.

by Lord Awesome Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:39 am

Well, when your against someone like Ribery, you're gonna need it.

Ribery's WC while Arbeloa..........well, he isn't. Laughing

Ribery hardly beat Arbeloa? Riberys cutting in, pace and quick turns were often times too much for Arbeloa as often another player in the form of Di Maria, Khedira or Pepe had to come and help him.

Fact is, whenever one of Ribery or Robben got in the ball, neither Coentrao nor Arbeloa looked like they could deal with them.

Arbeloa's the reason why Ribery had to drift on both flanks. It certainly explains why he was everywhere.

Ribéry/Müller/Robben normally drift >.>

Benzema was great today with his link-up and movement. imo he was Madrid's most dangerous attacker and always looked like a threat.

Lahm was a beast, as was Alaba and Kroos also had a great game.

Understated performance. I do like the gem below and so I'd like to share it with you.

What a player. Second or third substitution after his long injury and he is still the differencemaker in a team full of world class players :bow:

I can't even begin to express how happy it makes me that he's back cheers

We've been missing him for so long we've forgotten what a player he is.
Best player we have.

by BAYERN_MUNICH Sun Feb 28, 2016 3:08 pm

I have to admit i thought with Costa on the left he won't make the starting lineup very often anymore, but i think i just forget how good he is. And he isn't even 100% fit.

by footyfan01 Sun Feb 28, 2016 3:33 pm

Robbery at their peak with Lahm & Alaba at Wing-backs was IMO the greatest wingplay in modern football history.

If we can put that team together again for the end of this season, we will be good!

by futbol Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:13 pm

So people now accept that Douglas Costa is a glorified Jesus Navas after seeing a real class winger?

Would walk into Barca XI. Would send Statpadmar to the reserves.
