Second game in a row that Lopetegui has shut up shop once Sevilla were a goal up. And so far, there's a lot less sterile possession and greater willingness to cross or play a direct pass. Maybe he's learned a thing or two after his sacking last season?

Either way, Sevilla winning two away games without conceding is a great start. Diego Carlos was excellent in defence tonight. Top performer next to Fernando and Jordan.

The front three worked hard but I don't see the quality yet. Maybe when Rony Lopes starts playing it'll look better.

I know most folks think he is a complete dope but he honestly is not a bad coach. I mean, as people saw with Madrid last season, we sucked regardless of manager personnel. Can't say for Porto though, read his time there was rubbish lol.

Interesting comments from Zidane's post-game presser:

Asked About whether Madrid we'll be able to shake off this draw and get back to winning ways:

Zidane wrote:Yes, we dropped points, but it's not the end of the world. We'll make up for it in training and score many goals, don't worry. We always score many goals in training anyway. We just put Courtois between the sticks and everybody is guaranteed to go home with a hattrick to their name. Heck, even Florentino got a brace the other day after he accidentally tripped on a ball and it went right through the Belgian's legs...twice

Asked about Pogba and if the result would've been different if he were here today:

Of couse! If Pogba had been here, the result would've been different. We would've lost. Did you see him against Palace today? He single-handedly gifted them the winner at stoppage time. He made the difference. He's a game-changer. That's why I like him.

But what can I say? We really tried to sign him, but Woodward, that clueless, happy simpleton demanded Ronaldo in return. That motherfcker thinks the Portuguese still plays for Madrid. Fcking kill me now!

Asked about Neymar and the possibility of Madrid signing him:

We thought about it, but after selling everybody's kidneys, blood, urine, sperm and pretty much every bodily fluid you can think of, we still came 150m short of PSG's asking price.

Journalist (Massimo di Culo)) wrote:Really? What was PSG's asking price?

Zidane wrote:150m

I also found a piece of paper carefully tucked under my windshield wipers and, I'm not necessarily saying that I definitely agree with its content, but I thought I should share it with the group nonetheless:

Ødegaard with a lovely goal to win it for La Real today v Mallorca as I knew he would be a shrewd move given La Real's penchant for success with talented but frozen out youngsters.

I predict this year will be his breakthrough.
