I came here to say that PSG playing very good football. One of the best game play today. But seeing the rating, I've to say whoscored rating system is totally broken, all three Madrid midfielder Modric, Kroos, Casemiro have higher rating than Mota, Rabiot and Matuidi, but in reality PSG midfield superior by a very good distance. Better luck next time Whoscored!
JOHN WICK please stop flooding real madrid game comment sections. we understand you are a big fan but it does not mean you must reply to everyone's comment. rather opt for liking or disliking. its a bit ridiculous now.
@kummerspeck Yes I do. K.BENZEMA is so vital to REAL MADRID as striker. Bale does some great things but he does put the ball into the 70th row a bit too often when he shoots. J.Rodriguez has greater positive effect on the entire team play than G.BALE though. James was often brilliant and so often makes a move that shifts the momentum of a match. Can't wait to see him back.
not a good match but what does it matter if you have the ball, control the tempo and waste the chances.. this game is won with goal, one is unbeaten and the other isnt. when real gets everyone back they will be scary, isco and kroos and playing tired, everything they tried failed. basically cr and nobody else when marcelo when out.
Typical boring match between 2 overhyped teams. Real can't tackle for toffee so naturally DiMaria was able to do what he wanted. I expected better of these 2 supposed 'contenders'. People need to realise football is played on grass not paper...
@SteveHyland di maria didnt do what he wanted, like scoring or assisting or winning, etc. big teams dont generally give a good game because they are good
Di maria was sensational. Real Madrid are clearly missing sharpness in attack. They are obviously missing Benzema, James and Bale in attack. They'll just get better once they return.
@Lucasfernandes PSG indeed played better, but that alone doesn't mean they deserved to win. It's PSG's own fault for not being able to put away their countless chances.
well i watched the first half and a im not pleased with how madrid have been playing we are getting bossed and we are looking very shaky in mid field if we are to continue along and win this match we have to sharpen our midfield we are losing posssesion of the ball quickly and we dont have much pace to hit a counter so we have got to play sensible here but in the end i will hope for the best#HALAMADRID
real has navas and modric. no way they drop points.. the days of iker making mistakes every game are over. real wins and jese has a great game, you hear it here.
PSG hasn't lost a game since April (not counting penalties against Chelsea in ICC). Real lost just once since May, against Bayern in Audi Cup. Both teams are extremely tough in defence. One of them should finally break. I honestly can't predict which one.
James is definitely not starting this game. He is not fit enough to play such an intense game for full 90 minutes. Luka Modrić may start but fitness of his hip is still under doubt. Benzema and Bale definitely won't feature. They have been left out of the matchday squad. Same can be said about Carvajal and Arbeloa.
@whiteout_rip_it Champions League is always at the same specific time (20.45 Central European Time) unless due to very cold weather, usually experienced in Russia, they play it 2 hours earlier.
@kroos8 PSG have killed off the competition in their league, the same way Bayern has. PSG thinks the way to be successful is have the most money, so you can buy the most expensive players. I don't agree with that philosophy as it is harmful to the beautiful game.
@kummerspeck They are most interested in premier league clubs because of the ridiculous broadcasting deal. The worst premier league club earns more broadcasting revenue than Atletico Madrid, which just goes to show how over inflated the premier league is.
@Beastador They should put some restrictions but these arabaian people fund their own clubs by being sponsors of their own club and pouring black money inordinately. They hardly sell any merchandise in comparison to the top clubs still have the amount to show with accounting miracle of self-funding. Delusion levelled up
I dont think this will be a similiar scorline like the First Game both Teams where cearful Not to make the first mistake, but this Time they will go all in in a 2:2 or 3:2
@Turan James won't start. Jesé and Isco both will definitely start this game. Benítez has a choice between Modrić, Vázquez and Kovačić. Modrić is the obvious choice among the three if he is fit. But if Modrić is not fit then Benítez has got a choice between Vázquez and Kovačić. I think Vázquez should start if Modrić isn't totally fit enough to start. So Benítez has a tough choice to make between Vázquez, Kovačić and risking Modrić's long term fitness.
@whiteout_rip_it He has been training with the squad for a few days now and having been included in the match squad one can only assume that even if he doesn't start the game, he is almost certain to feature at some point.
It seems that Bale,Carvajal,Arbeloa and Benzema are still not fully fit and therefore have been left out of the match squad. Perhaps they should also be excluded from the Sevilla game and get back to full fitness for the game against Barcelona on November 21st. As for Navas,Pepe,Ramos,Modric,Kovacic and James, since they have been included in the squad to face PSG, they are probably fit to play.
@Turan James still not fit to start. He won't start against PSG. I am doubtful about Modrić's fitness as well. I hope Modrić is fit enough to start the game against PSG.
This will be a very tough match. PSG have 10 point lead in the league and they are going to try to get the 3 points in this game. They are scoring easily and not conceding much, just like Real Madrid so far. Logic says this might again be an even game and with Real Madrid plagued by so many injuries who are probably not ready to make a return just yet, it will be a challenge for sure.
@whiteout_rip_it We don't know yet who is able to play, it seems Ramos,Navas,Modric,Kovacic,Benzema and Pepe are most likely to be in the match squad to face PSG. Bale,Carvajal,James and Arbeloa we don't know yet.
Benzema, Pepe and Carvajal are slowly going to be incorporated. Perhaps Benzema even features in the Las Palmas game. James and Bale will probably not be ready for the PSG game and to be honest it is not worth risking them. Just let them recover properly so that they are fully fit when they are about to play. Kovacic is likely to be ready for the Las Palmas game. Ramos will also have some time to recover from his shoulder injury.
@Turan Not sure about who will play and who will not. But I guess everybody except Bale and Carvajal will be fit for the welcome of Paris Saint-Germain.
@whiteout_rip_it Kovacic is very young and he has amazing ball control, passing and work rate. If he is serious and works in training he can do something good. I think he has given Real Madrid options for midfield and every time he has been called upon, he has performed well.
@kummerspeck He was out of Las Palmas game, probably to be protected. I assume normally he would not play until the Barcelona game but the clash against PSG is very important and Pepe might not be ready yet so we might see him play against PSG and then left out again for the Sevilla game, in which then Pepe plays, and left out of the national team until the Barcelona game so as to recover properly.
I came here to say that PSG playing very good football. One of the best game play today. But seeing the rating, I've to say whoscored rating system is totally broken, all three Madrid midfielder Modric, Kroos, Casemiro have higher rating than Mota, Rabiot and Matuidi, but in reality PSG midfield superior by a very good distance. Better luck next time Whoscored!
@undertaker Agreed. The guy who posted this ratings have no clue.
Cristiano: "People say I played badly tonight, but in my head, I played better than everyone on the pitch. I'm the Man of the Match."
JOHN WICK please stop flooding real madrid game comment sections. we understand you are a big fan but it does not mean you must reply to everyone's comment. rather opt for liking or disliking. its a bit ridiculous now.
I still can't believe we couldn't buy an back up LB and relied on stupid arbeloa
Unlikely hero in nacho. Amazing
di maria amazing
@kele we do miss him
The essence is to get the three points...we will win th CL again
@Derykonaldo we will be better when our top 3 attackers return
@John_Wick CR7 was playing today. Surely you rate him in your top 3 attackers???
@Quest Dont you realize the impact Real will have with James, Bale and Benz being in the side?
@kummerspeck Yes I do. K.BENZEMA is so vital to REAL MADRID as striker. Bale does some great things but he does put the ball into the 70th row a bit too often when he shoots. J.Rodriguez has greater positive effect on the entire team play than G.BALE though. James was often brilliant and so often makes a move that shifts the momentum of a match.

@SteveHyland they can't play on everyone's term. They're undefeated for a reason
@SteveHyland di maria didnt do what he wanted, like scoring or assisting or winning, etc. big teams dont generally give a good game because they are good
Di maria was sensational. Real Madrid are clearly missing sharpness in attack. They are obviously missing Benzema, James and Bale in attack. They'll just get better once they return.
Spanish might shall prevail.
@Beastador sadly sevilla seem faltering
PSG are so unlucky...
@Murgen it happens bro. Chill
Sirigu>Trapp
feels like real is playing a back 7.. boring match. RM looks very unattractive this match. If PSG loses it's undeserved in all honestly.
@Lucasfernandes PSG indeed played better, but that alone doesn't mean they deserved to win. It's PSG's own fault for not being able to put away their countless chances.
well done keylor you have been absolutely incredible
@patricia.singh.14 I just got a keylor jersey
Marcelo will probably miss the trip to play Sevilla but lets hope he is fit for the Barcelona game after the break for the national teams.
RM look pedestrian. We will see after halftime if there a real injury issue effecting RM or if Blanc sees something in the RM formation.
@Password that was the plan I suppose
well i watched the first half and a im not pleased with how madrid have been playing we are getting bossed and we are looking very shaky in mid field if we are to continue along and win this match we have to sharpen our midfield we are losing posssesion of the ball quickly and we dont have much pace to hit a counter so we have got to play sensible here but in the end i will hope for the best#HALAMADRID
Please nothing long-term with Marcelo q.q
@Exti it's so retArded. We dnt even have a backup except for bobo arbeloa
Let's hope it's not as boring as last time. Please no.
@What4 ...aaand it was. RM will try to park the bus against big teams till the final
@Lucasfernandes let bale Benz n James return
@Lucasfernandes Parking the bus , with the likes of James , Bale and Benzema .... i would love to see that honestly
real has navas and modric. no way they drop points.. the days of iker making mistakes every game are over. real wins and jese has a great game, you hear it here.
Lineup Announced (4-3-3) GK - Navas RB - Danilo CB - Varane CB - Ramos LB - Marcelo CDM - Casemiro CM - Kroos CM - Modrić RW - Isco LW - Jesé CF - Ronaldo. James, Pepe, Vázquez and Kovačić are benched for today's game.
1-1
2-0
'22 0-1 Ibra....'57 1-1 Ronaldo..............'74 1-2 Ibra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never sell cristiano, let him retire at bernabeu
Penaldo will not score
those who wondering why one hour late....its because Day Light Saving Time ENDED
@parth_cr7 you mean earths revolving cycle has altered
@parth_cr7 I'm too dumb to understand
@parth_cr7 what's happening
@parth_cr7 elaborate maybe?
Watching a horror movie to countdown. Spanish movie Atrocious. Happy Halloween
@whiteout_rip_it Halloween was 2 days ago, we are in November...
@Villa does it matter
@whiteout_rip_it Same here i'm watching the last shift. recent movie rented
PSG hasn't lost a game since April (not counting penalties against Chelsea in ICC). Real lost just once since May, against Bayern in Audi Cup. Both teams are extremely tough in defence. One of them should finally break. I honestly can't predict which one.
@truestory PSG has full squad availiable, not madrid
@truestory Real play in a slightly better league and has kept the undefeated tag despite playing Atleti.
@John_Wick slightly? hugely! La Liga clearly the strongest league in the world in recent years.
@alexreg we forums are lacking sarcasm
@alexreg I was being sarcastic
@John_Wick Cant underestimate psg.
Angel will score
Real will win this for sure
@davies2050 and they did
@John_Wick friends
I think we can absolutely hammer psg.
@pulverizer dint really do that
Jese has really impressed me a lot.
@Tyrion_Lannister injuries suck ://
Jese needs to start this game.
Kroos needs to step up his game.
@kroos8 He seems intimidated by competition
@kroos8 He is like a priveleaged person on the team.
@kroos8 he was playing better when he was 'fatigued' last season
@Peter_Griffin german is getting manipulative, dont you think?
@pulverizer lol what is that supposed to mean?
@kroos8 He has been average. Correct me if i'm wrong.
73 comments and the match has not even started!
I think i'll have to bunk for tommorow to catch this game. Can't miss it anyways. Hala Madrid
@soul_snatcher lol same here bro
Calling up some of my imaginery friends for late-night party.
@kummerspeck lol that chick in uefa ad is cute though
I doubt isco will be benched
@John_Wick He will play some part, I agree. Not full game tho.
@truestory he started but dint impress much
Tight game i suppose. Psg defense will be pummeled
Himanshi arora randi hai
Both teams with strong defences..1-1 or 1-0
ICI C'EST ?
@Murgen rekt
@Murgen PARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS (thanks for helping me guys)
@Murgen ?
@Murgen rekt
Starting Lineup if Modrić is fit (4-3-3). GK - Navas RB - Danilo CB - Varane CB - Ramos LB - Marcelo CDM - Casemiro CM - Kroos CM - Modrić RW - Isco LW - Jesé CF - Ronaldo Starting Lineup if Modrić isn't fit(4-2-3-1). GK - Navas RB - Danilo CB - Varane CB - Ramos LB - Marcelo CDM - Casemiro CM - Kroos CAM - Isco RW - Vázquez LW - Jesé CF - Ronaldo Pepe is also a contender to start the match instead of Varane.
@realmadridista Marca is saying modric is not mostly to be risked
@kummerspeck Both things are possible. Modrić may or may not be risked.
@realmadridista he was ,now we know Benitez plans
@realmadridista varane better opt
James is definitely not starting this game. He is not fit enough to play such an intense game for full 90 minutes. Luka Modrić may start but fitness of his hip is still under doubt. Benzema and Bale definitely won't feature. They have been left out of the matchday squad. Same can be said about Carvajal and Arbeloa.
@realmadridista Arbeloa has been superfluous
@realmadridista Vazquez needs to start too bro.
@Tyrion_Lannister If Modrić is fit then I don't think Vázquez should start. CDM - Casemiro CM - Kroos CM - Modrić RW - Isco LW - Jesé CF - Ronaldo
@realmadridista Sacking Olmo will solve things subsequently.
@realmadridista Sack Dr. Olmo plz.
@realmadridista exactly. James has been a glassboy lately. Cant be risked
3 - 1 Real Madrid Win.
2-1
@watfordAlbert dio
@watfordAlbert arca
Real Madrid vs Arsenal should be the round of 16 game.
Why the hell they shifted timings one hour further?
@whiteout_rip_it because of day light savings
@whiteout_rip_it Maybe they're adjusting it to the qatarian standard
@whiteout_rip_it wtf. seriosly noticed that just now
@whiteout_rip_it Crap!
@whiteout_rip_it are they kidding us?
@whiteout_rip_it Champions League is always at the same specific time (20.45 Central European Time) unless due to very cold weather, usually experienced in Russia, they play it 2 hours earlier.
@Turan No they have shifted the timings one hour further this time. @whiteout_rip_it is right.
@realmadridista Well i guess for me it is still the same exact time as always because we shifted our clocks a couple weeks ago.
Matuidi: "The reality is that Madrid are superior to PSG"
neutral fan here, let both play with their best potential and may the best team win
@bhushan73 amen
Over 2.5 goals
PSG is a shambolic club, if RM had Benzema for this match I'm sure he would score.
@Beastador Shambolic why?
@kroos8 PSG have killed off the competition in their league, the same way Bayern has. PSG thinks the way to be successful is have the most money, so you can buy the most expensive players. I don't agree with that philosophy as it is harmful to the beautiful game.
@Beastador Arabians should buy small clubs like osasuna too
@kummerspeck They are most interested in premier league clubs because of the ridiculous broadcasting deal. The worst premier league club earns more broadcasting revenue than Atletico Madrid, which just goes to show how over inflated the premier league is.
@Beastador They should put some restrictions but these arabaian people fund their own clubs by being sponsors of their own club and pouring black money inordinately. They hardly sell any merchandise in comparison to the top clubs still have the amount to show with accounting miracle of self-funding. Delusion levelled up
@Beastador i think as a city,paris is also losing its charm
1-0 Madrid.
Man of the Match = Messi
@Shawn_Tafari messi is in india currently
@Shawn_Tafari cause ronaldo busy diving
@two_six If you watch the game, ronaldo doesnt dive so much to be still tagged as diver.
I dont think this will be a similiar scorline like the First Game both Teams where cearful Not to make the first mistake, but this Time they will go all in in a 2:2 or 3:2
@danyal.maathers.5 In all fair opinion, real has better defense and equally good attack
@danyal.maathers.5 They want to top the group brah!
Possible starting XI:Navas,Danilo,Marcelo,Ramos,Varane,Casemiro,Kroos,Modric,James,Ronaldo and Isco/Jese are candidates to start this game.
@Turan James won't start. Jesé and Isco both will definitely start this game. Benítez has a choice between Modrić, Vázquez and Kovačić. Modrić is the obvious choice among the three if he is fit. But if Modrić is not fit then Benítez has got a choice between Vázquez and Kovačić. I think Vázquez should start if Modrić isn't totally fit enough to start. So Benítez has a tough choice to make between Vázquez, Kovačić and risking Modrić's long term fitness.
@Turan Glad Navas is back, James back too? OMG
@whiteout_rip_it He has been training with the squad for a few days now and having been included in the match squad one can only assume that even if he doesn't start the game, he is almost certain to feature at some point.
It seems that Bale,Carvajal,Arbeloa and Benzema are still not fully fit and therefore have been left out of the match squad.

@Turan James still not fit to start. He won't start against PSG. I am doubtful about Modrić's fitness as well. I hope Modrić is fit enough to start the game against PSG.
@realmadridista Its sad though Benz wont be playing because of didiers stupidit.y
@kummerspeck Benz is in his prime, i hope he shows what a talented lad he is like me
@kummerspeck Is his injury that serious?
@kummerspeck Dr. Olmo is to be blame for everything
@realmadridista Regardless Casemiro is doing well.
@kummerspeck Casemiro is doing good and cant adapt easily to any role.
I tink diz game will b a stalemate...
@Anthony09 Benitez is defensive but not that defensive.
@Anthony09 Given it will count for top spot, i dont see stalemate as a option
@Anthony09 i doubt but could be
@Anthony09 no not again.
Navas vs James Rodriguez - the phenomenons. R.I.P Paris Say Goodbye :)
@tdkhaihcm South American patillas
di Maria MOTM.
A goalscoring draw would almost guarantee PSG to top the group. Hopefully, 1-1 with Edinson Cavani scoring a nice header.
This will be a very tough match. PSG have 10 point lead in the league and they are going to try to get the 3 points in this game. They are scoring easily and not conceding much, just like Real Madrid so far. Logic says this might again be an even game and with Real Madrid plagued by so many injuries who are probably not ready to make a return just yet, it will be a challenge for sure.
@Turan But i'm worried about our pressing.
@Tyrion_Lannister Regardless we can win the ball easily unlike under Carlo
@Turan We need to press paris and we will miss this.
Let us edge a win while playing inspiring football. Benitez must keep the defense solid and ensure that we press and track back. Hala Madrid!
@Peter_Griffin until he shut us up with results
@Peter_Griffin lets be honest here. We all hated benitez
@Peter_Griffin benitez has impressed me a lot
@Peter_Griffin Are all the injured players back?
@whiteout_rip_it We don't know yet who is able to play, it seems Ramos,Navas,Modric,Kovacic,Benzema and Pepe are most likely to be in the match squad to face PSG. Bale,Carvajal,James and Arbeloa we don't know yet.
@Turan Benzema not fit.
Benzema, Pepe and Carvajal are slowly going to be incorporated. Perhaps Benzema even features in the Las Palmas game. James and Bale will probably not be ready for the PSG game and to be honest it is not worth risking them. Just let them recover properly so that they are fully fit when they are about to play. Kovacic is likely to be ready for the Las Palmas game. Ramos will also have some time to recover from his shoulder injury.
@Turan Not sure about who will play and who will not. But I guess everybody except Bale and Carvajal will be fit for the welcome of Paris Saint-Germain.
@realmadridista How about James? Is he ready to participate in such a demanding match?
@Turan He won't start. But he will definitely have a role to play from the bench.
@realmadridista as a super sub would be a great idea
@John_Wick Yea therez no other option. He can't play more than 20-30 minutes.
@Turan i dnt know but kovacic dint impress me.
@whiteout_rip_it Kovacic is very young and he has amazing ball control, passing and work rate. If he is serious and works in training he can do something good. I think he has given Real Madrid options for midfield and every time he has been called upon, he has performed well.
@Turan Ramos looks fully fit now
@kummerspeck He was out of Las Palmas game, probably to be protected. I assume normally he would not play until the Barcelona game but the clash against PSG is very important and Pepe might not be ready yet so we might see him play against PSG and then left out again for the Sevilla game, in which then Pepe plays, and left out of the national team until the Barcelona game so as to recover properly.
@Turan James is back to training.
@kummerspeck he is training yes but is he able to start the game vs PSG?
@Turan I think Isco will still tart ahead of him
@Turan I doubt, dont you see him starting?
@kummerspeck He wont.
Navas.
@kummerspeck ayy ayy
@kummerspeck Yeah he is back.
@kummerspeck Y
Too much wait
Dank! Bale out?
@asinko Looks like
Sadly cant watch anymore real matches except big ones cuz of time limitation
Well can't wait.
@Tyrion_Lannister Dope
Ahem!
