whoscored place the starting 11 in a 4.3.3, being called it a 4.4.2. i watch the zidane interview after the game and this is what he said.. lucas on the right, bale on the left with isco behind cr.. that makes a 4.2.3.1. i have always said that is the best formation specially for teams that line up with 2 lines of 4 because the free player this game was isco, played wonderful between those lines instead of forcing everything outside and sending crosses, real force everything outside and for them to send crosses and it never worked. zidane out simeone simeone plain and simple, the key was the quick passing, the first have it was two touches and pass, atletico tried to come and hit a real madrid player but the ball was gone and they got tired and had nothing the last 30.
Wow. I had a feeling Real Madrid would win here (as mentioned below), but not this comfortably. This is a big statement from Ronaldo that he isn't finished yet and that there is plenty more to come from him.
@vikasjoshi9617 very true because he cant make penalties, people talk about ronaldo scores from penalti like it something easy, not easy for messi, or neymar lol
First half was the best Real Madrid game under Zidane. Real started 4-4-1-1 and they were outstanding in the first half. They didn't start strong in the second half but they withstood the enormous pressure from ATM. Real wouldn't have won this game without Lucas Vazquez. He tirelessly helped every department. Overall, this was the best Real Madrid game this season.
@CirdomAkul everytime lucas comes in, he makes a difference, not w goals but helping. carrasco was MIA all game outside of two runs he made when the game was already 0-3.
Haven't seen real madrid in a special first-half from long time, with that spirit there's no team can hold against them anymore, what a team and what a stupid league la lega
@Faceman gave up? If team is trying to win the league then there is no room for giving up.
and well it was a derby, giving up is letting the fan's down.
noone was giving up there
@loli Don't know about unbeaten streak bcoz still we have to play sevilla, valencia and all of them are away matches. Advantage is that their top team matches in first half of season are all away matches. That doesn't mean they should relax while playing against them in home matches. But it gives moral victory.
Somebody is completely blind. At the HT Savic who has a big whole instead his legs is rated 6, 3 as well as Carrasco who is doing completely nothing 6,5.What an absurd !
Still going for Real Madrid team for 3-1 victory. I think james will play at left, bale at right, cr7 as no.9 and modric,isco and asensio at midfield. Also danilo will play instead of carvajal.
Atletico might start with Gaitan here and they concede a lot whenever he plays. I will go for a draw or win for Madrid bcus Madrid the real one will score first
Toni Kroos has featured in almost all of RM's important matches since his arrival and it's really difficult to say how RM would play in absence of him. If Casemiro is not fit for this game, I don't see Real Madrid getting a result in here. If Ramos and Casemiro will be fit for this game, Real could get a draw considering that they are not doing well. Their results might say otherwise, but they are not doing well for me. Real Madrid's tough games are on the way and they have got to improve a lot.
Kroos with 5th metatarsal fracture, 2-3 months out. Modric just returning. Casemiro still not fit. Ronaldo not at his best. Benzema injured. Ramos injured. Pepe injured. Navas not fully fit. Not looking good for Real Madrid atm
@Turan I agree, I think Athletico will win this one. A v frustrating defence for any attack yet alone th current real Madrid attack whose form is pretty awful. 2-0 is my predication
Isco was phenomenol

@Mega Deflected freekick, Penalty and a tap in. He played really good in this one but he's still miles away from his best.
@CirdomAkul dude shut up
@CirdomAkul wow it must be hard to be a Ronaldo hater. Huh?
@CirdomAkul Yess He scored 3 Goals...if that's what you meant!!!
@CirdomAkul Even messi can't achive that agains simeone's atleti.
@vikasjoshi9617 very true because he cant make penalties, people talk about ronaldo scores from penalti like it something easy, not easy for messi, or neymar lol

haha suck it atleti
Haven't seen real madrid in a special first-half from long time, with that spirit there's no team can hold against them anymore, what a team and what a stupid league la lega
Hell yeahhhhh...!!!!!
real madrid won by coin flip, was a boring game, atleti gave up after fake penalty called
@Faceman gave up? If team is trying to win the league then there is no room for giving up. and well it was a derby, giving up is letting the fan's down. noone was giving up there
@libehv and penalty was genuine although contact was minimum
Why is Bale rated higher than Modric and Isco?
@KlaasJanHuntelaar Dribbles dude, same goes for neymar and messi
@KlaasJanHuntelaar because who scored always get it wrong
Time for uefalona kid fans go to bed, staying up late after draw vs malaga and watch Cristiano scored a hattrick its not good for your health
And they say CR7 plays poor in big matches. Hattrick in face of haters.
If real madrid wins el clasico in the coming weeks,they will go unbeaten for the season .casemiro is not yet back too

@loli They will win
Somebody is completely blind. At the HT Savic who has a big whole instead his legs is rated 6, 3 as well as Carrasco who is doing completely nothing 6,5.What an absurd !
las 3 free kicks goals from ronaldo, 2 where deflected... how lucky he is
@flatzonmavoz "Some would say this is pure skill!" Ronnie O'Sullivan
its not a 4.3.3 for real
0-3 to Real
@2468celtic you called it
Very tough match, but I guess 1-2. Real to come from behind.
I usually back Atletico, but I have a weird feeling Real Madrid will win this game.
0-2
idk bout this...
Still going for Real Madrid team for 3-1 victory. I think james will play at left, bale at right, cr7 as no.9 and modric,isco and asensio at midfield. Also danilo will play instead of carvajal.
Gutted Real Madrid are not at full strength coming into this. Atletico should exploit and win
1-0
1-1/ 1/0
Atletico might start with Gaitan here and they concede a lot whenever he plays. I will go for a draw or win for Madrid bcus Madrid the real one will score first
@jefferee definitely Madrid will win. But I do not know which
When did Ronaldo last time score against Atletico? Only penalty in 2014 ucl final what i remember
@ksaviauk copa del rey 2015

@Turan Morata out
@Turan Toni Kroos will miss Clasico too?
@ksaviauk Toni Kroos is out for at least 6 weeks. He will definitely miss El Clasico.
@Turan I agree, I think Athletico will win this one. A v frustrating defence for any attack yet alone th current real Madrid attack whose form is pretty awful. 2-0 is my predication
