Politics and destroying the balance of the team has struck Madrid again. Modric coming back will be such a big boost. As for Ronaldo these are the goals that I really count. Scoring the 5th and 6th goal as you beat Granda 6-1 at home is not what makes a top player for me. It's stepping up and changing important games like he did tonight.
Happy for Schalke to give a decent showing of themselves on the big stage. They have one of the best youth systems in Europe and have some incredible gems. Meyer is such a talent and they have Goretzka too. Good to see him come back. Di Matteo has been really defensive, but hopefully next season they can let loose with Meyer, Goretzka and Draxler.
