1-0 Madrid. Great finish by Benzema, although I'll have to give the biggest chunk of credit to Vini for doing all the effort and for giving it on a silver platter to Benzema.

Not sure if it was Junior or Messi

It's probably best not to react too much to players on limited viewing.

Or as i call it the English media on Zlatan effect.

As I've just seen the goal, i disagree. It's a great run but the finish is spectacular, many strikers would miss it.

Agreed, wasn't "on a plate" by any means.

Their best player is Ziyech not De Ligt or De Jong

by danyjr Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:30 pm

What I like about Vinicius is that he chases down the ball to the ends whenever he loses it. Good mentality Thumbs up

by The Demon of Carthage Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:31 pm

No, I agree the finish was great, but Vini's had done everything up to that moment and all Benzema had to do was to fire away. They both did their job to perfection, but Vini's was the man who made it happen, I think.

Ziyech is 7 years older than De Ligt, to be fair. Can't expect everyone to perform to their full potential in every game, which Mole already alluded to.

by danyjr Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:32 pm

Ramos pulling a classic sweeper job. He's been reading Ajax's attacks very well.

by danyjr Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:36 pm

Modrić's reaction times still have me in awe. At 33 still as impressive as it was when he was a young sewer rat back in the neighbourhoods surrounding White Hart Lane.

by Thimmy Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:38 pm

And Ziyech scores. 1-1.

by danyjr Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:38 pm

ZIYECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Moroccan Prince :bow:

No idea why Solari subbed Benzema off. "I need goals? Okay, I'll just remove my main CF".

by RealGunner Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:39 pm

lmfao who is this absolute pleb of left back for Madrid? Laughing

by danyjr Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:39 pm

The referee has been great, he let the play go on multiple times in the lead up to the goal instead of pussy whistling.

Thumbs up

He'd probably face a lot of scrutiny if he'd been caught catcalling during the middle of a match hmm

Someone thinks otherwise...

lol I just like referees which don't call little things fouls and let the play go on.

by The Demon of Carthage Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:49 pm

What it's really sad is that Ajax are attacking incessantly while we are sitting back to protect the lead.

The clownitude in Solari is real and hard.

by RealGunner Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:50 pm

ASENSIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2-1

by danyjr Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:50 pm

Asensio scores. VAR please.

by The Demon of Carthage Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:52 pm

I'm sorry but that goal should've been disallowed. That was a stonewall freekick in the middle of the park.

Winning like this tastes worse than losing.
