@grimmm LoooooooooooooooooooooooL He's terrible
Ronaldo leaving has had a huge effect on Real.
@nexus747 Every Ronaldo haters knew it, but they will never admit it. Real Madrid never lost 7 games in laliga with Ronaldo in the last 9 seasons. But here you are with only 24 games, they lost 1/3rd of games.
Without Ronaldo we play like a team: Bale..Yea yea 6 goals in Laliga this season. LOL..Benzema got 10 goals good. Barca fans says Suarez is worse than Bale and Benzema who "helped" Ronaldo win titles. How much Suarez scored?. Oh yes 15 goals, includes a hattrick against Madrid too, when Messi was not hindering him.
@john2james What are you talking about? Besides the Madrid based media, only a few deluded madridistas (a minority among them btw) would say Benzema is a better striker than Suarez. As a matter of fact, it's an unfair comparison: Suárez is a true number 9, Benzema is more of a second striker.
@john2james Real madrid needs a real coach as Pochettino
@john2james Don't feel ashame bro, its the same for Barcelona if Messi dont play they become so pathetic
@Cannavaro69 They won 5-1, 4-0 against Madrid without Messi. But lets not judge with 1 or 3 games, we have to see how Barcelona cope without Messi. Atleast their president admits its difficult, unlike Perez who said Bale will replace Ronaldo..:)
That stupid Ramos forgetting about his job as defender.. So the defend become weak
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA poooor UEFAdrid
@Cannavaro69 go chew poison
The last time Real Madrid lost 7 games or more?. Yes you are right, its 2008/09 season, just before Ronaldo arrived. 41 goals in 24 matches. That is less than 2 goals per game. What an achievement by Real Madrid without Ronaldo. Perez ego must have been hurt..:)
This performance is disgrace to all UEFAdrid fans , Lord Cristiano should come back to save this poor club
@Cannavaro69 only VAR could save madrid
A big shock especially as Girona had gone 13 games without a win in all competitions and lost 6 out of their last 9 in La Liga.
@nexus747 I was thinking the same thing. It appears the bookies done paid the keeper
@nexus747 It was time Girona would get a win on the road tbh. But then Real Madrid had seemed to be in an ascending curve... Thus the shock may not be that Girona won an away game, but only the venue
@nexus747 Hardly shocking, for precisely the same reason. This is what experts refer to as the "bounce back effect".
I don't give a F if Real win or Loose, but a big congrats to the Girona and the fans of team. Very tasty away victory no matter how many complaints people have about Ramos or whomever
Pochettino is a cert to take over at Real Madrid in the summer.
@nexus747 please no, he's totally overated and has never won anything.
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Well this is Real Madrid without Ronaldo
@benger_alert, with him they were 3rd last season.
@Davisson Ronaldo played 11 game less last season., BTW, the last time Real madrid lost 7 games in laliga was in 2008/09 season, the season before Ronaldo came.
@john2james, 2 La Liga, 2 Copa del Rey and 2 Spanish Supercup in 10 years with him. This is Real in domestic cups, without referees. By the way, 16/17 they had some help and Ronaldo also didn't played 10 games that season in La Liga.
@Davisson Why do you lie? LIE no 1. Ronaldo played 10 seasons. No. Ronaldo played 9 seasons. LIE no 2. Ronaldo didn't play 10 games in 16/17. No, Ronaldo played 29 games with 2500 minutes. In 17/18 Ronaldo played only 2200 minutes and 27 games. As for referees, Barcelona got a huge help from referees in laliga and also in the CLs, who can forget the famous Chelsea game and PSG game!!!!. Plus Messi's helpers, Suarez( he already scored 15 goals in his worst season) and Neymar( scoring and creating for fun whereever he goes) vs Ronaldo's helper Bale, 6 goals in Laliga, Benz-10 goals..Its not even a comparison
@john2james, lol, about the games he didn't played, actually I can say 11 because in 16/17 he was invisible in 2 El Classicos. :) Haha! Who can forget the robbery vs Bayern 16/17 and 17/18? vs Juve? Offside goal vs Atleti in 15/16? About Bale and Benzema... they saved Ronaldo's ass against Bayern and Liverpool 17/18. Just like Ramos and Bale saved him in 13/14 and 15/16. ;)
@Davisson I can feel your desperation when you try to lie so shamlessly, which itself proves why Ronaldo is far far ahead on Messi..
After a very demanding schedule in the past couple of weeks, Solari will probably rest some key players for this game. Modric will be replaced by Ceballos while one of Casemiro-Kroos-Modric might be rested with Valverde or Isco coming in. Marcelo will likely replace Reguilon with Odriozola also likely to replace Carvajal in this game or the next against Levante. Navas might get the nod ahead of Courtois while the condition of Varane will show if Nacho will continue alongside Ramos or if Ramos will be given a rest with Varane coming into the starting XI. Benzema was subbed against Ajax and it is to be seen if he can start or if Mariano is called into action. Depending on how many changes Solari is forced to make, we might see Asensio make a rare start instead of Vinicius while one of Lucas and Bale will start on the right. To sum it up, there is a high possibility of heavy rotation in this match with as many as 5 or 6 players rotated.
@Turan Personally for this game i would go with Navas, Carvajal, Varane, Nacho, Marcelo, Casemiro, Isco, Ceballos,Vinicius, Mariano, Bale and if nothing unexpected happens, i would bring on Asensio for Vinicius, Valverde/Kroos for Casemiro and Brahim for Bale.
@Turan Girona has a lot of trouble in defense, and also with injured players + suspended players for this match.
@Turan We'll-delivered. Nice one
@Turan No way will Scolari rest players.They have a weeks rest after todays game and they want to try and catch Atletico and Barcelona at the top of the table.
@Turan Thats a good analysis but I think Solari picks 6 automatic starters (Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Modric, Kroos, Benzema) then for the remaining 5 slots he pins the names on a board and puts on a blindfold... Maybe thats why we have a revived Benzema this season
@Turan I don't know about you but Nacho, for me has been awful this season. He doesn't even deserve to sit on the bench with his performances this season. He gives me fear every time I see him play this season.
Sell Modric to Inter, sell Navas and Marcelo, and you have healthy finances to buy Neymar or Hazard + Icardi.
The last time Real Madrid lost 7 games or more?. Yes you are right, its 2008/09 season, just before Ronaldo arrived. Bernabeu attendance is less than 50% on todays game. Never filled the stadium since Ronaldo left...
@john2james and barca will be about 20% attendance when Messi leaves or retires.
@uefalona will be?. We are talking about FACTS, not dreams.
@uefalona I know Barca dont have fans. They just have Messi fanboys.
@john2james the stadium has 81,000 capacity and today's attendance was 68,000. I think you need to go back to school bud
@Carpena07 The last time Real Madrid lost 7 games or more?. Yes you are right, its 2008/09 season, just before Ronaldo arrived. Nice to see people avoid the obvious FACTS.
@john2james never filled the stadium because half Madrid fans are plastic fans!
@Flash_is_back Every European club is plastic at the first place who buys footballers from other countries..
@john2james Real Madrid scored 100 goals or more in a season only 8 times in history, 8 times when Ronaldo played 30 matches or more for Madrid in laliga. Now they scored 41 goals in 24 games. By this rate they never score past 60 goals. Perez says we don't need Ronaldo LOL>
Solari out, VAR in !
Real really need VAR badly
Siuuuuu
I hope Ajax will do the same - they deserve.
@afx Real needs new attack this attack often has goal problems like today.. Bale doesnt do anything that guy is crap they need Hazard
How’s madrid playing
@NuchalLine SHIT
Bts - Yes @1.90, both teams have scored in all the previous head to head
@PimpimActuary just imagine if they didn't score against Courtois :D
Asensio needs to play CAM like he used to and Isco needs to go on RW.
This match is the reason why RM needs to buy Hazard and Icardi in da summa.
RM are rubbish
Bravo Ramos, Bale & Perez !
Is it Ramos' 20th red card in Liga?
@Guilain 19th. 20th coming soon.
@GioMonaldo It's his 20th red-card. Sergio seems intent on rising his own record as high as possible, so no other player in the future may threaten it. The lad must be proud of his achievement (sarcasm)
And Solari believes they are going to win the league. ;-D
Im absolutely shocked and dissapointed. But this is why we can't win La Liga this season, our attack is awful. Bale is awful guy doesnt do anything in defense, doesnt do anything in attack. Marcelo also awful season, for me this both guys would be on the bench until end of season. Florentino should sell Marcelo and Bale and bring in new LB in summer and Hazard.
@stefanm Real could get so much money for Bale, Marcelo and Isco... Start the clearout before Hazard and Neymar arrive is what i'm saying
@offside I doubt anybody would pay much for an older, belly-full and injury-prone Marcelo. But Bale still has a lot of credit in England (though nothing compared with the money they could have got las summer) and Isco will surely have many suitors.
Is anyone genuinely surprised by this result? The experts had already tipped a Girona away win before the match even started.
@SeuneMilmas Bro real had too many chances in first half , should have killed the game... but their attack is problematic with goals this season.... they need hazard , because bale is a big flop this season !
@stefanm Why stefan?. Penaldo was taking all opportunities before Bale. Now what happened?
@john2james its reality that if ronaldo was today in the team it would have been like 5-1 , 6-1 for real madrid.. that is the truth i must admit it.. but he is getting old bro, he cant play for forever.. altough he could have stayed one more year in madrid..nevermind, we cant cry about past, he is past now.. we will get in summer new superstar like neymar or someone like him
@stefanm The scoreline doesn't lie. There's no significant correlation between shots and match outcome.
@SeuneMilmas wow bro whats next u gonna say girona is better team than real madrid? girona never even qualified for champions league, u makin me laugh
I haven't seen the action that led to Girona's penalty, was it the correct decision?
@GioMonaldo Ramos made a huge save with both arms, so yeah.
@MrNemobody ok thanks
Ramos expanding his red cards record. What a defender!
ABSOLUTELY EBIN
Good ole' Real Madrid is back! classic Ramos is back! thanks Real for giving us La Liga, don't worry, we'll give you CdR.
Ramos with red card - so nice :)
84' 1:2 Oh... you can't??? Maybe use VAR (Video Assistant of Real)? :DDD
Courtois really isnt such a huge upgrade over Navas
@offside, Navas is far better than Courtois.
@Davisson Dude I posted that at 1-0, immediately after i post 2 goals conceded... Even a couch potato like me saw the goals coming...
@offside Carvajal is much better.
@offside what the f*ck Courtois????? more errors leading to more goals.
@offside they just buying big goalie performances from the world cup. First was Navas, now Courtois. Who will be next?
@KiraFabri Luis Suarez after his 2010 Ghana performance
@BarcaPlsLetMeDown All the big ones cheat
@BarcaPlsLetMeDown LoooooooooooooL
@KiraFabri I agree on that some players are being taken a bit too seriously, after just 4-5 international good/decent caps.
@KiraFabri Jorge Campos
@KiraFabri Pickford
@uefalona it's a joke. He allows a goal almost every game lmao
@KiraFabri just spare a thought for Navas, he's in the dressing room right now trying to keep a straight face.
REAL MADRID Courtois , Ramos , Varane , Kroos , Benzema , Marceloa , Casemiro , Lucas , Odriozola , Asensio , Ceballos SUBS Navas , Carvajal , Nacho , Mariano , Bale , Valverde , Vinicius
4-0 and Vinicius to score.
@nexus747 I'll be shocked if Girona do not win 1-0
2-1 FT Madrid win
@Tobinho1 why not 4-1 we have Vinicius to believe in now, CRwho?
