@ucf If it's a 5-0 win and Ronaldo hasn't contributed at all it would look really bad for him. So they try to look for something as good as they can. Whoscored's definition of an assist is " an intentional pass to the goal scorer"!
I don't think Ronaldos pass was intended to get to Benzema. He more like lost it while trying to dribble...
@bradley.fcb They can't have Ronaldo's rating fall below 7 on this site. This place is almost perfect except for the Ronaldo and Messi pandering. Anything they did (or did not do) is rated higher than the average players.
What we learnt from the game. 1. Carvajal is a much better player than Danilo. Benitez never tried to trust him. He gets involved in MANY difficult situation. He is brave! He and Bale from one of the best contribution that can exist at the moment.
2.playing under Zidane's management, players had possession, did not panic and passed with composure.
3. Gareth bale is a lot more free to play since Benitez took oveR he is doing quite well. He tries to assist Ronaldo but you c how it ends uP.
4. The main problem lie with Ronaldo's arrogance. The more happier when a teammate scores the more he will freely play, enjoy and be more effective. #HALA_MADRID
@neumi17 WhoScored values (obviously) testing goalkeeper, hitting woodwork, aerials as well, also each member of the team gets his rating higher when the team scores. Ain't that hard to do the math. Even if you're a hater.
@Exti In the remaining time he added 2 more shots on target, 2 keypasses, one more assists, one aerial and one tackle but his rating went up only 0,8 ,from 7,7 to 8,5.
This doesn`t make sense ...
@Exti I am a hater if I don`t get the rating, I see ...
"WhoScored values (obviously) testing goalkeeper, hitting woodwork, aerials as well "
I had mentioned that he had won ZERO aerials at that time ! Ronaldo always has the most shots even in games in which his rating is low. But shooting a lot doesn`t tell much about the quality of the shots. But nevermind ...
I think the problem with Real Madrid is partially of the president and the fans. Real Madrid have some really tough to satisfy fans that want the team to play consistently good, score lots of goals, not concede, win, collect all the possible trophies, buy the best players and be recognized as the best team of the world by far. This is coming from me, being a Real Madrid fan for over 18 years. The damage started when we fired Vicente Del Bosque and continued when we sold Makelele instead of offering him a proper contract and recognizing his contribution to the team. That was the point that it all started to slowly go south. We really should be more patient with our players and our coaches, cheer for the team even when we are losing so that we give them confidence to give their all in the pitch. Look at Atletico, they really are the best example of how fans help boost the morale of the players.
@Turan As always, I enjoy reading your well written comments. I understand where you are coming from, as a Real Madrid fan since Zizou's signing in 2001, this team as endured some rough moments. Real Madrid's identity should not be defined over the Galácticos term. I have faith in Zidane to bring long term contribution to the team, should things go well in 2016. However as you mentioned patience is needed. In addition we cannot lose key players this summer for the flavor of Euro 2016. Real Madrid has a core team for the next few years, it should not be tempered with, and again using your words "we really should be more patient with our players and our coaches".
I hope tonight is the start of something beautiful again!
It's funny how everyone is talking about a man, who is not actually playing in this game. Do you really believe that over the last few days Zizou could significantly change the way his team will play? If anything this will be about fighting spirit, because we all know that Madrid has enough quality to beat any team. I expect a tense game with lots of goals.
@truestory The top clubs such as Bayern Munich,Barcelona,PSG and Real Madrid have enough quality to beat almost every other team but motivation is tough to achieve and that is where a good coach comes in. A good example is that of Atletico who without having players of above mentioned teams, manage to consistently beat or at least make them sweat...
Hoping for a tight performance from Madrid. gonna go with a 3 - 1 win with no penalties. attacking football must surface but the pressing must be there too. Good luck Zizou
@soul_snatcher Do you think that Zidane, Ronaldo scored in big games?
Do you think Zidane is best coach Benitez?
Do not you think that is forced?
Real are in third position near the first.
I think Zidane is a shield more. The president is protected from hungry vultures. And again and again.
@John_Wick Vultures are people with much political and economic power. Madrid is one of the most important and largest Spanish companies ... be president of RM is to be in a privileged position.
Valdano is not a powerful person ...
but he knows a lot about football.
wherefore RM coaching is anecdotal for this great club. nowadays.
Roanaldo wasn't even the last player to touch it, it was Deportivo defender (can't remember who it was).
Ronaldo really got an assist for Benzema goal? REALLY???!!
Am i dreaming? Is my Madrid back?
Zizou is like carlo on sidelines
وحش زيزووو
How fluid are Real Madrid's front three this season?
@6seconds Far from being fluid enough ! I personally believe Ronaldo ruins the chemistry of the front three.
How fluid are Real Madrid's from three this season?
the last goal is not an assist to ronaldo

How does Benzema's second goal count as Ronaldo's assist? The defender clearly tackled the ball off him and it landed at Benz's feet.
@bradley.fcb They can't have Ronaldo's rating fall below 7 on this site. This place is almost perfect except for the Ronaldo and Messi pandering. Anything they did (or did not do) is rated higher than the average players.
@vieri probably because both of them almost always perform above the average players.
ty zidane for making carvajal starter..

@Mahdi Carvajal was injured for a long time, that's why he didn't feature a lot under Benitez.
@Ala the Clasico. Remember?
@Mahdi sorry for typing mistakes. It's all my keyboard's fault *situations...*form
This is the kind of win i want to see !No red cards, no penalties = clean win !
Why is Ronaldo rated 7,7 at the moment ? Zero dribbles, zero aerials won, zero tackles, zero key passes ! Because he had one assist ?
@neumi17 Compared to Ronaldo from the past several weeks, Ronaldo today was actually in a decent form..
@neumi17 Whodribbles.com also values Ronaldo's tan and his haircut.
@neumi17 WhoScored values (obviously) testing goalkeeper, hitting woodwork, aerials as well, also each member of the team gets his rating higher when the team scores. Ain't that hard to do the math. Even if you're a hater.

@neumi17 You should try to learn the statistics here and not always asking the right answers. It seems you already have mastered the class of nagging.
1st goal in the Zidane era was offside...
@Beastador do wash your eyes before watching the Replay
@Beastador haters will hate....
Zidane goooooooooooooood algerian
@polatalamdardz french*
Zidane is no coach but a puppet
Same old Madrid, pray for Navas to make the save
Finally Iscoooo
Wtf
Pussy is detrimental to progress sumtym
Ronaldo is old, ineffective and superfluous. He is just being kept for his media power and popularity
Despite being a cule, its exciting to see zidane as a coach

@Xsim problem is fans not president
Despite my busy schedule I can't miss this

Depor to win, Zidane to be blamed
Depor lose just one away match in the last 11, a great performance. Depor to score, a great odd.
People talking about Zizou, let the man work, give time. Its too soon, if Real win or not it won't tell anything about Zidane's work.
The beginning of the end. Madrid will be relegated from champions league
Benitez is better than zizou.
Depor will do it oh.
@Kedonojo they aren't facing Barcelona
Hoping for a tight performance from Madrid. gonna go with a 3 - 1 win with no penalties. attacking football must surface but the pressing must be there too. Good luck Zizou
how many times has Ronaldo been chosen motm and how many times everyone been wrong..
Don't feel sorry for Zidane he accepted the job, now let's see what he's made of.
4-1 Real madrid win
Real is much stronger with the fighting spirit of Zizu!
The day we were yearning for.

@anllunavi "protected from hungry vultures". What the hell are you talking about?
@Footballfanatic66 metaphor...
@Footballfanatic66 maybe he meant valdano and his associates

Gone Benitez gone. The Real Madrid circus continues. Poor Zidane, i really feel like its too soon to put him into the hot seat
Zinedine Zidane.
