Benzema and Cris literally on top of each other. Where has their awesome movement gone? Benzema off. Mayoral on.
Look at the energy the players have all of sudden. Not just the subs. Everyone. There’s a spring in Cristiano’s step.
Dortmund should beat them normally, as should we. Getting in 6 in there is pretty good though, and while it's not a turnaround by itself (again, we SHOULD be winning against this team) sometimes a game like this is what a striker needs to gain some confidence. So I can understand Zidane not resting either Ronaldo or Benzema for this one, as both of them are in need of a buttload of confidence after their dry spell. Hopefully they can use this game to get back to their more normal numbers against the coming teams.
Lol Dortmund is the last team you should use for comparison. They got spanked by everyone in this group, home and away
yeah and that is why they will win the group but this team APOEL is really bad. One of the worse in this CL campaign.
Real Madrid play better without Isco. Notice how quick their attacking is when Isco isn't playing? This is because Isco slows down the attack and hogs the ball which allow the opponent to get back to their position making it harder to penetrate through. Now, we know why Benzema and Ronaldo isn't the culprit here. Man of the match to the veteran duo (Benz and CR7), they played well.
