My god what a shit performance though. That was like watching 90 minutes of torture

Diego Lopez MOTM

Strange performance but with the starting lineup that was expected, I thought Morata played very well, Di Maria was quite good as well, he took his goal very well and his set piece resulted in an own goal. With the league and second place wrapped up, I hope the likes of Jese and Casemiro would get more opportunities.

Diego Lopez had another top performance.

Although this game really showed perhaps I read a lot of comments here about Real's problem, they dont have a real midfield and it showed in this game. Was funny watching Pepe trying to make passes and just keep on errors

Di Maria showed his difference.... everyone for Real did their best but obviously far below the first teamers.

I actually won a 2-1 correct score bet for this game, since I just knew Atletico ALWAYS underperform vs Real for some reason? This game they just kept on getting offside, and seems a bit predictable, just didnt win the battles... vs a second Real team, which is puzzling as usual.

Seems like Real should be favourites for the Copa final

Can someone tell me why Atletico are like this when vs Real? Is it some kind of mental block?

Lopez made a mistake the first goal.

what a horrible match, morata was totally horrble, cant believe he lost like twices the balls that usually dimaria looses. cant believe his technique is so horrible.

Nacho was also below par, pepe, khedira, were very bad too, kaka OMG, what a horrible performance by him, looked like a 3rd division player.

The good were, Lopez, Essian, Caravlho, albiol, somewhat dimagia and benzema, also varane.

crap line up means crap game very disappointed in atletico tho they suppose to be third best in the league and still lost smh
