I want Gareth Bale to step up and save them!

Madrid hasn't pulled a decent performance yet. Bring back Mauriño.

Did Bale touch the ball? Bonucci managed to shackle him...

Yeah but Real's chances always seem to come out of some individual enlightment, that time it was Di Maria's pass to Illarra(iirc). Either one of the CBs puts it long to one of the wingers, or someone lays it off to Ronaldo to make something up. I get that with such talent, statistically you're bound to get goals, but I don't like that there isn't any decent play! I love Ronaldo, Coentrão and Pepe, but I hope Barça tears Madrid apart.

I agree, and it's frustrating to watch. I gave up on trying to see those kind of plays a looooooong time ago.

I don't think he did, or if he did, I must of missed it. As I said, we should have dominated with a man up, but played like we were down by two.

Is it just me or does even Morata seem better than Benzema at times? At least from the times i've seen him, Madrid seem to improve when he comes on.

Not just you, he does change out game when he comes in. He deserves to star over Benzema, yet Ancelotti thinks Benzema still has it in him. Go figure!

He needs to get into Ronaldo shape physically

Benzema is 25!!

Madrid wish they had Drogba

We wish we had anybody else up front

In addition to the racism apparently CSKA painted their pitch green so the match could go ahead

Such an unlucky game for Chiellini. First off that penalty and now getting red carded like that. This is going to be difficult for Juve to turn this match around now.

Unlucky how???? He gave away a stupid penal. Buffon had the ball yet he chose to pull Ramos down kinda like juve did to Celtic all game last year. Than the red card what was he doing with his elbow so high up? Also Ronaldo had knocked the ball passed it and looked to run away from him when Chiellini clobbered him. He only has himself to blame for making stupid ass plays that cost his team as they prolly would have own or drawn without those actions. Also Vidal coulda been sent off in the first half and lol at his reaction after hitting the ground.

Oh, you always deliver the lols when you decide to come in once a year after you manage to win a match. There's no way Chiellini deserved a red. Sure, it's a foul, maybe a yellow even. But never a red. And Ronaldo's reaction was pathetic.

It's cute that fans of other teams even think they have a chance this year.

So what's his elbow doing up so high to Ronaldo's face? Why did he even raise it? Also the ball was past him when he decided to barge into Ronaldo and kill off a potential 1 vs 1, Ronaldo most likely woulda ran past him if not for that elbow. Chiellini was stupid all game and only has himself to blame.

dude, how come it was 1 on 1? Ronaldo was at the edge of the box, other defender could catch up ...

There was no contact with his fucking nose ...

Wait... there are people that thought it was a red? Even Ancelotti didn't.

Not sure if that play alone was a red but over the course of the game he did. Should have got a yellow for the penal (why did he pull ramos down when buffon had the ball covered???) than the ronaldo one I don't get his arm coming up so high but is was at least a yellow. Chilleni just played like an idiot and paid the price. Vidal was lucky to stay on the field, had 3-4 tackles that could been yellows.

Also fuck Ancelotti, he thinks Benz still deserves a starting striker place. Morata and Jese >>>>>>>>>>>>>Benz.
