There were still a couple of scares here and there like the Neymar post shot buy overall I liked how we defended the lead. We didn't bunker up near our penalty box inviting barca instead we kept a high midfield of four which pressed their midfielders and a front two which worked tirelessly

Isco ffs :bow:kid has come a long way, he went from defensive ineptness and selfishness to someone who kept that left side secure and dribbled himself out of anything Barca put up.

No complaints from me other than we kept playing long balls when we don't have target men in our team other than Morata so in essence we were just giving posession back to barca. On alot of occasions we passed ourselves out of some heavy pressuring so the work Carlo is putting in seems to have worked off

hala madrid

you close your eyes every time benzema controls those long passes and create a chance?

out of the 1000 long balls we did, about 5 were controlled. I wasn't happy with that because instead of attacking we were forced to defend them. It is not the first time this season that has happened and its annoying as hell

Anyway Benzema was great in the first 20 minutes then started to fade off a little bit. Overall though he was very good and put in a great effort.

His assist for Di Maria was fantastic so he was decisive as well.

I thought after the first 15 minutes or so till HT Carlo had instructed our players to mainly defend. Second half was better because we actually ventured forward in numbers. We ended up with what?? 17 shots during the game but only 2 came in the first half.

Everybody played well. Thought both Modric and Alonso had below par games but made it out with only one goal conceded in the end. Alba going off at HT was probably the greatest news for us because he was the best attacking player for Barca in the first half. Without him they were awfully toothless

jesus you are unbelievable

Did you see me blaming Benzema for it???

I wasn't happy with our playerS hoofing it to our attackerS, seriously you somehow get Benzema involved in every innocent discussion. I swear if we talked about Iker you would somehow bring up Benzema, we talk about Perez you will bring up Benzema, heck if we talked about the Syria crisis somehow you would mention Benzema. You are pathetiic. You are allowed to talk about other players from time to time you know just saying, if I looked at your post history I am 100% certain the only thing you talk about is Benzema. People like you make Benzema hated, people like you embarrass us other REAL Real Madrid fans

let me break it down for you to make it simpler to understand:

1) Our defenders (Mainly Pepe so no not Benzema) play too many long balls in some games
2) They aim it at our attackers *wow shocker* (mainly Ronaldo and Bale because they can actually head a ball, what a miracle I managed to not mention benzema)
3) we lose the ball because none of them are target men and nobody picks up the second ball (not a bad thing because we are not a team that play that kind of football every game)
4) This means we give posession back to the opposition team and they attack again, rinse and repeat
5) They might be able to control one or two but when about 50 long balls are made and only a fraction of those controlled it should be a sign to our defenders to play it on the ground and no punt it forward like noobs (have I mentioned benzema yet?)
6) I hope this made it clearer because clearly your obsession with involving benzema in every discussion makes you look like you have tunnel vision cause by Glaucoma that you contracted from.............benzema


get a life man. I bet if benzema leaves so will you. At least we will be rid of an obsessed fanboy which could be akin of a blessing is disguise
