Team News
Real Madrid
Valencia
- Cristiano Ronaldo is fully recovered from his recent hamstring injury and so there are no doubts this week whether he will play or not.
- Oriol Romeu picked up a thigh injury on Monday and will not be back until mid May.
Marcelo was 5 to me :-/
feghouli assisted valencia's first goal, add it to the statistics !
@amuntVCF dani Parjo took the corner. second goal was feghouli pass missdirected by madrid defence to dani parejo scoring
Analdoooooo
Also Ronaldo is more self-centered , wasted so many fu*king chances
Lopez is useless keeper.
Why is Ronaldo listed as LW when on player positions he is the striker. ITS THE SAME EVERY FU*KING MATCH WHOSCORED SORT IT OUT
@HussainZ: i just checked previous matches. no its not the same every match.
Ronaldo was dreadful. 14 shots for 1 goal. LOL at MOTM.
I didn't notice this at first but... Di Maria came on at half time and still somehow managed to put in five key passes. Incredible!
Atleti 2-0 Valencia , Real 2-2 Valencia . Atleti > Real
@FR7 i think you need some lessons in basic logic. and just to show you your reasoning is wrong, here's an example that invalidates it: Levante 2-0 Atleti, Levante 2-3 Real Madrid.
@FR7 Barca 2 - 3 Valencia :((
Ronaldo with 14 shots! And he's a "winger" HA
@bradley.panton 4-4-2. Ronaldo striker.
@bradley.panton look at the match report --> player positions he's playing more like a usual striker
Now all there's left is the hope of Barca beating Atletico and us taking all what's left.
Damn ... Ronaldo scores from this kind of position while he had at least 3 awesome chances today... A bit disappointing but what can you do, that's football. Though throughout the match it seemed like certain things that weren't fouls on Real (especially Ronaldo) were fouls when someone wearing a pink shirt got hurt.
Why do games in Spain allways go 90+5,6 minutes and sometimes more ? That never happenes in the PL and Bundesliga...
@neumi17 I don't think you have seen much of PL then. About Bundesliga, I don't know.
@Exti EPL yes, Bundeslige max 3 min, max!
EXPECTED.
What a goal! A bit late now though..
Simply we do not deserve to win the Laliga. Carletto under estimated Valencia and subbed 4 main players. Pepe, Modric(injured), Dimaria, Coentrao. We played carelessly and we deserve to lose. Thats it.
Benzema is often very clumsy. He is having a good season, but he is not the skilled finisher that Real Madrid need. Benzema is excellent when building actions and making key passes; his game is quite intelligent and he is not selfish. However, he will never be a top class player (I say that though I like this player and I'm French).
@Thypot i agree... i think sergio aguero or atleast radamel falcao is what Real needs. :|
Well done Pizzi, Simeone thanks you!!!
Does someone need to break Ronaldo's ankle or something to get a foul...
let us take a minute and laugh at real madrid.... HAHAHAHAHA
@mukyze CL FINAL. BURRRN A**HOLE
@mukyze SEE, smh..
@mukyze please shut up omg
Morata for Benzema now ... c'mon..
Real is really wasting that chance and is gonna lose...oh man
The knee injury has made Varane pretty much a mediocre defender. He was so solid last year, one of the most prospective young defenders. Hope his knees can hold and make him the gem again.
Ramos 8.5 parejo 8.2 so biased
@opricaalex parejo has 8.4, but anyway, a goal for a defender probably is worth more than a goal for a midfielder.
@DiM right, so a goal for a rm defender on home pitch is worth way more than the goal of a dm wich plays away
Benzema is useless. I don't see Real Madrid keeping him after this season. He is too lazy to react at times, dribbles to lose the ball when he can easily pass to Ronaldo.
You guys are far too harsh on Benzema. He's a quality-all round striker, good finisher, good in the air and contributes a lot for the team. Most teams would LOVE to have Benzema. Would Suarez/Aguero, Ronaldo & Bale work? Could be incredible...but maybe Madrid would miss Benzema.
@kam Suarez should come!
@benchmark04 I don't think so as Liverpool have registered CL spot for next season already. Suarez has had a brilliant season, he might want to stay for one more season at least unless we propose a ridiculous offer. For the time being our best options could be Aguero/Falcao or Cavani.
diego lopez was almost useless. diego alves is having the best game of his life.
Parejjjjo !!!!!
Parejo against his old club! Hold on Valencia
why all the changes in the lineup ... why not stick with pepe modric di maria ...
@Bodyferr Modric is injured.
yessssssssss ! LoL
Is Villa the peasant who is loading -1 to every sensible comment?
@Exti no that's not me.
RAMOS!
YES!
LOL, GO VALENCIA!
@Villa be quiet please
@bradley.panton Why?
Di Maria on!
good move . di Maria !!
Looks like at least one of my "prayers" has got its answer.
This reminds me of the Sevilla match a lot actually.. that time Ancelotti was not able to change anything during half-time, let's hope he is now.
@Exti and again like sevilla match Alonso-Illara combination is playing. come on Carletto forget combining two exactly similar players!
I do not know what is wrong with di Maria but I think he should be brought on instead of Illarra quite immediately.
@Exti I agree. I've never felt comfortable when Illarramendi is in our midfield.
Real are creating chances but not taking them. If this keeps up, we'll get screwed. Valencia seem very dangerous on the counter.
Annother surprise tonight ?
Ancelotti needs to put some self-confidence into men during half-time break, otherwise this will not end good...
:O.... not gonna say anything...
what the hell was that ??? varane? lopez? wtf ??
Horrible marking from Varane..
It kinda seems like those wasted chances have created some frustration in the team .. need some kind of successful move now. Benzema though, instead of shooting from fairly open position from 20 meters, moves forward and drags 2 defenders on him ... it is like only Ronaldo, Luka and di Maria have the manhood to shoot from distance.
Wanted to say exactly that ... Illarra and Ronaldo have been quite disappointing in the first 20 minutes..
illarramendi is to careless in possession
Was this the best save of Diego Lopez?
I meant more than he created 2 clear cut chances which should have been scored.. but yes, that also.
@Exti that..
Pleeeeease Valencia... just park the bus :D
Bale has made a killer start... these aren't the hardest of chances now .. c'mon!
@Exti 3 dribbles in the first 5 min are as much as the whole team of Sevilla produced in 94...
Ronaldo ... damn that was a weak finish ...
why is Ramos out?
Modrich Are not Going to play and also de maria .
Real Madridi XI: Diego López, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Illarramendi, Xabi Alonso, Isco, Bale, Cristiano and Benzema
@soul_snatcher tough game , carlo knows it,
since modric and di maria are not in the line up isco must have a good gaem and create chances
@Bodyferr both him and illara starts , the one who has best game has more chance to play in lisbon
This has been a very exciting season for La Liga. Just a week ago, I thought that Atletico Madrid had won the league, but right it is very hard to predict so. Now more than ever, I want Real Madrid to win La Liga, so it can boost Cristiano Ronaldo chance of winning his 3 Ballon d'or. I am not a big Real Madrid's fan, but I am a massive Ronaldo's fan. I am really happy that Coentrão is playing a lot this season. He, Pepe, and Ronaldo will help Portugal a lot in the world cup, as they are so adapted playing together.
Btw where are you Turan? havent heard from you at all. Is everything fine mate?
@commandozap I think whoscored fired him, because he has been given more accurate and better prediction, and analysis of the games. lol
@DelJuve hahaha ! but seriously turan and excelsior understand and grasp the game more ingeniously than i and many can here.
we did beat los che at mestella but they gave us very tough time , and jese rescued us. But we are much more of a team now , than we were during that period. Lets hope we make barral's effort count.
Atleti fans will be watching this match with great interest , also uefalona fans.
3-1
2-1, or 2-0
If anyone cared to watch Valencia in europa league ( i always do watch europa) , they have been absolutely fantastic team fuelled by spirit and sheer determination. Honestly they dint deserve to go out judging by the way they played. Regardless one defensive mistake and they can nail us. Its a blessing to face such an extra-ordinary red-hot team before Lisbon preparations and subsequently test our shortcomings , initiate improvisations and rectifications of contingency plans of xabi's absense , tweaking defense and sharpening finishing, final third potency. Illara or Isco whoever its gonna be , we will get a glimpse today. I hope punishes us for our silly mistakes (if they happen) so that we can fortify ourselves in those area keping lisbon in mind. I wont be surprised if we dominate them but i expect an equal response regardless what scoreline depicts.
@Excelsior_rmcf yea but they are good at home. They got pummelled by Sevilla away and Madrid are a great team at home as well. Don't expect much out of a valencia team that will probably be down from the way they got knocked out
@Lechiffre10 Dude if Alcacer played that away leg i doubt Sevilla had any chance at all. That guy is a beast and pizzi is no ordinary coach , he was a coach of argentine current champions before he took over. Agree that Valencia may or may not be a threat but they certainly are a formidable opponent to deal with regardless what the result is at the end of the match.
Very Good news Madridistas , Iker will play Vs Valladolid & Espanyol. Hala Iker !
lol.... people under estimating khedira.... they have probably no idea about his role.... he is a really really good player at what he does...tactically very good...a bit defensive option is never bad for any top team, the least you can do is respect a player who has given his all fir the team in every match he plays
@nish Xabi and Khedira had a very good partnership but i think Xabi and Modric is much better... and i don't really imagine Khedira and Modric playing very good together idk why :-?
@nish He is average , very slow and opposition anticipates his every move , very poor at passing and key passes. Transition is nothing extra-ordinary. Just good aerially but awfully slow to carry out int & move break against dymanic mids. And when he is given chance to hit a goal , he absolutely cringeworthy. We are better off without him. With Luka playing instead of him we are shown what we were missing last 3 seasons.
@soul_snatcher He is not slow, he is a tank. His passing is underrated he does not try any flashy stuff. Khedria is a defensive midfielder and a powerhouse. Hes not better then Modric at some things but he Alonso is not getting any younger
@soul_snatcher Average?Khedira is one of the best Midfielders in the world.Although not better than Modric.
@DylanMarshall He maybe good for germany , but fr madrid he is average. To understand you have to watch madrid games from past 3 seasons. And him being best midfielder in the world is farcical statement with no cynicism.
I also think Khedira is slightly overrated. If you look at statistics, Xabi and even Illarra who has been a substitute in almost half of his matches have better defensive and passing stastics. It will be damn hard to replace Xabi in CL final. But in this match, I guess Isco takes Luka's place. He proved himself quite well in midfield recently.
@Exti Illara will play in final , Carlo said. We need to give the young lad some time , he is brilliant
@soul_snatcher i trust illara , deserves more chances
Valencia is too strong now , cant underestimate them
Time 2 try isco
@commandozap Maybe illara or isco will start vs Atleti , and luka is out for this game
@commandozap Or Sami? But i dont like sami at all
@soul_snatcher Sami will probably come in in the last 10-15 mins
Real Madrid to WIN---> 2-0
Again, I see Real to keep a clean sheet. Total score 3-0 or 4-0 (They really like to score 4 goals I don't know why ;) )
@analyst I'd go for a 3-0
@Donatkap this score is very likely fo happen
