Agree. Luka is class and changed the game for them at a late stage. What an impact sub. I reckon he starts from the off on Wednesday.

Shame he plays for those twunts.

I don‘t think Modric will start, he played 86 minutes on saturday and Kroos was rested.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Did we already request UEFA for a temporary cling film roof?

They will be same team bar the Tchouameni switch to Nacho, or Militao if he takes a punt.

Los Blancos dont like this referee LOVL.

Daniele Orsato’s controversial calls in Real Madrid games​

Last year, the Real Madrid entourage got immensely anguished after learning Daniele Orsato would officiate their away clash against Chelsea in the UCL QF. This is because Orsato gave the Spanish side a déjà vu of their 2020 RO16 clash versus Manchester City. Then Orsato had given a late penalty for Dani Carvajal’s knock on Raheem Sterling. Besides, the Italian referee reduced Madrid to 10 men by red-carding their defensive anchor Sergio Ramos for hauling back Gabriel Jesus. Meanwhile, Vinicius Jr. claimed Gabriel Jesus scored an early goal by committing a foul on Los Blancos defenders.

The Brazilian striker lamented that Orsato did not even bother to check the VAR before taking calls. Besides this, the Meringues midfielder Luka Modric once felt Daniele Orsato had taken a wrong call in the Argentina-Croatia semi-final in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Modric claimed Orsato wrongly denied Croatia of a corner kick. Right after this denial, Argentina scored a goal off a Lionel Messi penalty after a counterattack. Therefore, besides battling Pep Guardiola’s elite squad, the men in white will have to push away their past demons of crossing paths with Daniele Orsato.

CRY ME A FUCKING RIVER.

lets hope they feel the same again after the game on Weds

Cheers, have not taken much notice of other teams over weekend, infact was out yesterday visiting a friend when came hone to be greeted by my lovely hub giving me the Dips/ Arse results.

So Kroos it is, Pep best plan for Modric coming on late, his fresh legs made a right old difference.

He still owes Casemiro 2 yellows as he reffed our 2nd leg in Madrid 2022 when we lost our heads and the tie within 10 minutes...

From what I remember he was crap in that game, our demise was when they kept kicking Phil and we reacted as he was getting no protection.

 

[bluesky88]

Might be unrealistic, but let‘s batter those bastards! Despite last season, I am still furious about what happened 2 years ago....

Mad to see genuine Real Madrid fans staying in Clayton. That was my "not in my lifetime" belief since time began. But, here we are, enjoying the high life, with stray Madrid fans wandering Clayton Vale looking for wildlife.
