Real Madrid
Malaga
- James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos are available after suspension, with both expected to return immediately to Los Blancos' midfield.
- Gareth Bale should be fit to start on the right-hand side, with Isco expected to get a run in the side after starting on the bench against Atletico.
- Karim Benzema picked up a knock in midweek, meaning that Javier Hernandez could be called into action.
- Carlos Kameni should start in goal, despite making a terrible mistake to gift Atletico an opener last time out.
- Weligton misses out due to an accumulation of yellow cards, meaning that Marcos Angeleri should be recalled to the heart of the defence.
- Ignacio Camacho is still sidelined due to injury, while the visitors' attacking quartet is expected to be unchanged after a good performance last weekend.
Toni Kroos was fabulous today.
James was what real missed,,,,,,the most underrated player
@khadar he is not underratedp
@glenbayern He was though
Animo Luka & Bale.
This is where stats dont match what eyes see. James was clearly better than ronaldo , MOTM should be James
Itook -4 on my comment,, Hahahahaha I Know that my comment is so spicy :D
You know Barcelona fans don't have anything to do, when they go to Real Madrid match pages just to downvote all comments that don't say "Penaldo"...
@MaltheKL Thank you to all the Barcelona fans who further approved my comment by disliking it.
@MaltheKL the tension amongst them is publically reflected.
@MaltheKL Exactly :D
@MaltheKL That Ronaldo does love a penalty, though..and a tap in. And hair gel.
@What4 and beating Messi
@John_Wick ...at diving.
One of thebest matches that ronaldo has been played One of theworst matched ronaldo has been played according to Messi's children
@mahmoud.adbelgwwad ronaldo played good but james was better
James was fantastic today, he's still so young Madrid have a plethora of young talents coming in. Jese and Isco might have to play against Atletico I wish them the best.
MoM must be James
It's weird how this year only the BBVA has an interesting title race.
@Lucasfernandes League 1 and the one from Portuguese are intense too .. they are not that important though
Missi fans are crying their heart out , delightful.
@commandozap No, we are very happy. competition is Good. very Good. We not jelous.
@nceshNcero u r exception
@commandozap Last time I checked, Barca are still top of the league and doing much better in the Champions League and still in the Copa :) Enjoy your day.
@commandozap watched both games today and there's just too much of a difference on how they played to get there numbers on their respective games. In terms of goals and assists, nothing to contest. Team play and build up, RM is superior.
@mystic34x Luck cheated on Valencia at this game , they made the game like it was playing at Mistalla :D But we should Admit they have a good Goal keeper !!!if parejo scored the Penalty would be difficult game for Barcelona as Valencia's defense are the second best defense in La Liga
@Logical I think Valencia may have just missed a chance to play CL as Sevilla are looking hot.
@Logical True ! Barca were lucky not to lose the game.
@Logical yup, Val played so well on the first, keeping pressure and creating solid chances but gradually slowed down.
@mystic34x Messi got an average assist, and absolutely crap goal, along with a shocking miss when the goal was open.
@Gunner Ronaldo 1 tap in goal, 1 missed penalty, A fail free kick shot which ramos scored, and an assist from a simple one two where james beautifully strike.. Yeah so good..
@Gunner i didn't claim anything chap if that's where you're going at.
And if you say that the goal was crap, then I don't know how you'd call the first and 3rd goal from RM
*their oops
Pure class from CR. Two "assists" and a "goal" Missed penalty, shouting on Isco, acting, diving and as usual, crying when not scoring. Disgusting
@blitz Don't forget his 1st assist was a shot on goal meaning it wasn't intentional. His 2nd assist to James was a simple 1-2 nothing special, it was all James.
@Beastador That's why I say "assists"
@blitz Wahhhhhhh Wahhhhh Waaahhhhhhh :( Jesus Christ you're worried about Ronaldo I got blowed during the match there are more important things in life than talking crap anonymously on the web, go spend some money on your self.
@HalaMadrid12 Watch out, we have a badass over here.
Modric and Bale due for medical tests Monday.
People were going to be so happy to see Ronaldo not score a game.... Poor kids.
El Penaldo is a tap in beast ill give him that to be fair
@Beastador taps more balls than Kim K
Comeback is ON! Real Madrid 2 - 3 Malaga! Mark my words!
@What4 Joel Campbell scores.
@What4 i still wonder Where's the ComeBack ??
@What4 I love comments like this, reveals the shear stupidity of people.
@HalaMadrid12 i honestly think it was sarcastic..
@What4 r u dreaming !!
Jame at The moment is the Best player o the field
James is playing Right side not left , Isco is playing Left !!!!
Perfect technique from James, perfect cross from Rosales. 2-1
@Lucasfernandes lol okay then. Shitty strike from James, poor cross from Rosales... now upvote me
Penaldo missed!! haha, so happy
@jayvin83 Ronaldo scored happy now?
@warclown Tapin..
Arbeloa is useless
Damn. Goal for goal
el Penaldo only misses on important penalties. He can score against Neuer when it doesn't matter...
@Beastador do you mean Free kick Against Neuer ? and Semi final and it doesn't matter ? Whaat a hater !!
@Logical ops I meant Penaldo can score in a penalty in the champions league final against ATM when it doesn't matter.
@Beastador H.detected :D
What a brilliant goal, great build up and fantastic strike by James
What a goal
We dont see that often
A penalty for that? Come on, they get harder contact from wind, but the justice has been served.
Amrabat He Has Proven He Is Genuine , What a Strong player !!
@Realmadridfan he is classic technical player
i hope modric will be okay. He is class
I hate Ronaldo's attitude on the field. When one if his team mates make a mistake like putting too much weight on a pass all the team mates around him clap for the person who made the mistake while Cristiano stomps his feet, swings his arms etc..
@Lucasfernandes agree, quality in good, but attitude like the worst
@Lucasfernandes Commitment , leader in attack
@John_Wick Bitching!
Gareth Bale will miss 2 weeks, Jese or Isco will have some big boots to fill.
@HalaMadrid12 Jese but i think we will go for 442 with isco
@HalaMadrid12 ISCO
not offside at the Ramos goal ??!
@AndreyNosatii Amateur cule , sigh !
@Tyrion_Lannister stupid madridista,GTFO !
@Tyrion_Lannister They dont understand football , dont bother explaining.
@AndreyNosatii Darder played him on
Thats called a nutmeg
Where is Benzema ? Is he injured ?
@Xuxibo6793 Yes
Real is not BBC, it is CRM (Cristiano - Ramos - Modric)
Lol amrabat is hilarious
whoa why did bale get subbed out so early?
@Lucasfernandes left calf injury according to BBC Sport
@JoeB91 thanks buddy
@Lucasfernandes i wanna know as well. Anyone?
Well saved iker
Lol ! Today is not the day to be league leaders... sigh*
2-1 RM win
Malaga are a strong side who have a good defence...you guys don't know ronaldo won't be able to get tap ins against them. bale won't be given 20 meters of space in the box to dribble in...
Team will have one side of mind thinking of CL clash with Atletico. 2-0 would be fine.
Real 3-0 malaga
"I won't watch Barça-Valencia. I'll go to the cinema again" So Carlo will watch cinema 4 hrs before kick-off.
Carlo maybe sacked if we fail to retain CL. Liga ofc barca has upper hand and easier games
Last season, both Barca and Real missed out to Atletico in La Liga. This time, however, one of them will be crowned champions. The race is well and truly on. Both have somewhat similar fixture list.
Ofcourse it a conjecture , but its a strong rumour that De Gea has said yes to Real Madrid move and will compete with Casillas for the spot. Even Carlo's conference kinda hinted it. check it out on As or Marca.
@kummerspeck Madrid do not need one. most probably Navas is going to be the first choice keeper and cassilas will stay on bench
@Mahdi casillas had bad moments like any other player but he saved our a** numerous times. navas isnt half good as iker but also he isnt tested well.
@kummerspeck Navas was descent but dint feel he is a real madrid material
@kummerspeck It would be a dream for him to compete with his idol.
WS previews seem obselete these days.
Benzema is out Mr.Hasrrison
are you crazy Harrison? Benzema even wasn't called up for this match!
Xavi Alonso imo
how come Xabi Alonso has a 4.76% from 21 votes when he does not play for the either of the teams?
@Mahdi Xabi played in 1st matchday, i thnik thats why he is stil on the squad list, nd ignorant kids were voting for him as MOTM
@Mahdi Whoscored is resposnible for being outmoded.
4-1. HALA MADRID!
Madrid can easily win this they play like a team considering Atletico were just able to snatch a draw last weekend against the same side.
considering what Real Madrid have done so far since the last three or four games, this match is going to be a win but malaga are a tough team and they can easily come back from losing positions and are good in counter attacks. so we have to keep the ball in midfield by modric and try some through balls to break their defensive ball. we should not forget the last two meetings of these two teams.
@Mahdi Some foresight , diligence and conviction would be great.
@Mahdi I hope carlo starts with Isco and drops one of the BBC. He needs to be ingenius to break the rot.
@Imperial_J Chicharito is fit these days. he can be a good replacement for benzema
@Mahdi Jese would be better option keeping atleti tie in mind. Isco and jese can act as catalyst for derby
@Mahdi *defensive wall
We need to beat Malaga all-ends to gain tha goalscoring confidence back. We almost scored in the derby but nevertheless we will be backed by ever-cheering fondo sur and other great fans which shall prepare us well for CL game.
@soul_snatcher even barca lost and drew with them. They havent won against malaga. Regardless we have beaten thrm but we need not dwell on it. Threat is constant
@soul_snatcher Javi Gracia is astute coach. It wont be easy
Malaga are no easy game but playing at home is an advantage. Atletico clash next week will be really tough and perhaps some players should be rested here. Maybe leave Carvajal,Modric and Benzema on the bench and start with Arbeloa/Nacho, Isco and Chicharito. If the game goes our way and depending on the score, take Kroos, James and Bale out for Illara, L.Silva and Jese. Marcelo is suspended for the Atletico game so he should play vs Malaga and Coentrao should play against Atletico. The center backs aren't in need of rest as much as the other outfield positions so even if any of Ramos,Pepe,Varane play here they should be rested until the game vs Atletico. My lineup here would be Casillas,Marcelo,Arbeloa,Varane,Pepe,Kroos,Isco,James,Bale,Ronaldo,Chicharito with Illara, Silva and Jese coming in for Kroos, James and Bale respectively in that order between 45-65th min depending on the scoreline.
@Turan No, these guys can Play. they must just play hard.
@Turan Benzema was very bad vs Atleti , one of the core reasons BBC slopped.
@John_Wick he is better than the last year. now he takes part more in setting up attacks
@John_Wick He is only human , i'm sure he will step up his game.
@kummerspeck i hope but he was dizzy vs eibar. Something is wrong
@John_Wick *flopped.
@Turan There is a talk of inculcating Bale as LB so that Isco would fit in , we played well with 4-3-3 at Calderon , i doubt Carlo would change that. But Cr7 and Benzema looked hapless there. 4-4-2 can be tried.
@soul_snatcher its a risk. We cant take risk right now and carlo isnt a risk taker so i cant spot any major changes
Tough game , I revere Javi Gracia. Underrated savant.
@Imperial_J Even i admire Javi Gracia as much i admire Emery.
@Imperial_J - no ways. this will be easy match for Madrid. look at Madrid's latest match, and how they play. the forwards are fit, and the center player are feet. Beautiful supplys. You'll see
@nceshNcero It wont be easy but its a home game.
@Imperial_J I wiil
@nceshNcero You havent seen the madrid derby? We are in certainly good form if not better.
@nceshNcero your friend is right this wont be an easy match just look what happen to barca
@kaneki10 Barca drew , they didnt lose.
@kaneki10 barca planed it. Enrique did that on purpose. anceloti wants to win. we wont do sily mistakes.
@kaneki10 This wont be easy but we will beat them.
