Real Madrid post match post mortem

[cityleeds]

Greed and Gluttony. How bad will the future be compared with the present for selfish behaviour.No access for a lot of true loyal fans. Round of applause to whoever facilitated those outsiders to home supporters lodgings...

you put the certain scorer first and 5th usually. they putting Modric first also one f their most experienced player and he misses this could have made the other shit the bed but Bernardo instead of killing an opponent on the floor actually bringing them back to life.

if that goes 2-0 there pressure is immense on 2nd Real taker. but Bernie missing gives them a boost and way back.. pens at the end are just as mental exercise as technical.
everyone would expect Modric to score his rather than Nacho or Rudiger albeit how Ancelotti picks Nacho and Rudiger for 4th and 5th taker thats quite something as cannot see us using Walker, dias, Akanji as 4th, or 5th. Ederson yes but not the defenders. but fucking worked for them...


so many big games this season when we dont kill off an opponent there for taking. happened again now both during the game and imo within pens with such a dominance 2.7xG and we only score one.

add together the game Real home, Chelsea home, Chelsea away, Palace home, Spurs home, dippers home we underscore our xG big time probably 120+ shots in these games for less than 10 goals.

How would you prepare with a goalie that almost never saves a penalty? Pep knows its a waste of time

Ederson did save one today, and showed Bernardo and Kovacic how to score one under pressure ;-)

Today it was mainly our penalty takers that let us down. There should be a dedicated set piece coach that gives this proper attention, it's amateurish not to prepare properly. RM clearly knew which side Kovacic was going to put his penalty.
I agree Ederson normally hasn't the best save % for penalties, (perhaps Ortega could be brought on for the penalties to do a bit better?)

Missed chances cost us in open play, not penalties, kdb missed a sitter

Who would take Eddy's. That was sublime...

Madrid fans ?? The pens were at the city end

Curious - why was the ball in the crowd anyways - wasnt the pen before saved by Eddy ?

Modric booted it into the crowd in anger

Played fantastic lads. Why the fuk Kev and Erling weren't there to take inevitable pens at the end mystifies me. Almost a southgate moment

And Foden had a great chance and completely missed the ball. Just one of those games… but so fucking frustrating.

If they’d both been on for the penalties, we win that 5-4 in my opinion.
