Deportivo Alaves
Real Madrid
- Theo Hernandez is back from suspension for the hosts and should immediately slot back in at left wing-back.
- Victor Laguardia is sidelined due to injury, which will see Zouhair Feddal feature at the heart of the defence.
- Ibai Gomez is an injury doubt, with Marcos Llorente unavailable due to the terms of his loan deal.
- Dani Carvajal misses out through suspension for the away side, which will see Danilo slot in at right-back.
- Isco is expected to continue in midfield, with Mateo Kovacic preferred to James Rodriguez alongside him.
- Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo should be fit to start up top after being left out of Los Blancos' midweek Copa del Rey trip to Leon.
Ronaldo was self-centered, ineffective and poor. In fact, I've never seen a poorer match from someone who scored a hat trick. Nor have I seen a player so undeserved of a high rating (9.4?!). And this is from someone who wants him to do well.
@michael_emmett lol he had 4 shots on target and full real madrid sqaud had 5
Penaldo missed penalty? Wow.
Kovacic is such a great player at this age. His acceleration is unbelievable. First decent game from Ronaldo this season and I'm not judging him by the goals. He helped the defense as much as he could today although he could've passed to his teammates on several occasions instead of shooting it off target.
@CirdomAkul Told you so. We got already Modric replacement in Kovacic. Hence he should retained not sold. He is young and I remember him playing in intermilan he was beast. He could play as am or cm without much problem there.
@CirdomAkul Very overrated player. He's nothing compared to Isco, let alone truly great CMs.
why doesn't james get any playing time?
24 goals in last 5 matches. So much for a "not dominating" team.
Such a great teamwork and goal by Ronaldo and Marcelo. Loved it.
kovacic is such great player
Real can't even dominate small teams. You can't win league with such play. Need to replace all veterans. Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Navas, Benzema , Coentrao, Danilo need to be offloaded.
@vikasjoshi9617 is 4 1 not enough dominance for u?
@vikasjoshi9617 that Marcelo pass though. :*
@vikasjoshi9617 Marcelo and Navas? Wait, are you judging players by their age? That's ageism, dude :D
nvr a clean sheet...sigh...
Alaves is a small team. Confirmed. :))))))
That wasnt penalty!!!! ¿why the referee dont use the video assistant?
@flatzonmavoz no penalty. Agreed.
Penaldo is still so out of form
I see a draw here, Alaves knows that in attacking play it can not outperform Real, therefore it stays behind and waits for its chance. Because of Ronaldo's poor form Real may struggle to score. Also it is possible that Real scores early goal and Alaves starts open play, but my it is more possible to be draw...
Alaves to score, I'll laugh if Real doesn't win.. :)
@Gabriele07 0-1/1-2/2-3/3-4
james needs to start and 90 minutes in the absence of both modric and casemeiro
This game has the potential to become complicated if Real Madrid dont score early and get a 2 goal cushion. Ronaldo and Benzema need to up their game.
Real Madrid the best. Easy win.
