Pulisic starts: BVB vs. Real Madrid, CL, 12/6, 1:45 PM CT

Looks pretty defensive. I wonder if it looks like

—-bartra—-sokratis—-subatic—schmelzer—
————dahoud———sahin——————
———————-kagawa———————-
——Pulisic——aubameyang—-Guerrero—

 

I think that's probably right, but with CP and Guerrero playing two ways, making it more like a 4-5-1 than a 4-3-3. We'll see

 

Europa league here we come!

 

That midfield is soft as baby shit.

Considering this is about damage limitation, should be a 3 at the back formation with midfield serving to play outlet passes on the break.

Maybe not... that's a lot of defenders for no 3 at the back though.

 

Ronaldo places LF these days right?
Could see some CP v CR action

 

These Madrid fans crack me up. It's like watching Yankees fans. Cool, you're passionate about your team. How easy it must be for you.

 

Pulisic lively early.

 

The way Madrid play one touch football is unreal.

 

Pulisic with another great touch, winning a 50/50 ball hoofed up to him by Burki but Dortmund immediately give it right back.

oooof

 

too ********ing easy man, BVB get completely overwhelmed in midfield and a simple run and pass into the box from CR results in a tap in goal.

 

Real Madrid turned the difficulty down for that goal

 

Watching Auba and Kags try and press is laughable.

 

this dortmund side isnt very good

 

Holy. ********.

 

Pulisic should come back to MLS to play with better teammates.

 

2 very different levels of play here. Anyone know the difference in salaries between these two clubs? Know it's more than that, but it plays a big part.

 

I'm biased but the only player that looks like he belongs on the pitch with RM is Pulisic.

 

2-0 RM, it will be lucky for BVB to not be 9-0 at the end.

 

Bless him, but he's not getting much chance to shine or fail in this game - 90% of his activity is providing some defensive pressure, just like Auba is. Team barely has the ball.

 

Dunno Dortmund I'd have to look it up but Real wage bill is over 400 million pounds

 

Pulisic almost just made a goal out of nothing. He looks good.

 

and CP with the best offenseive move for BVB
