Competition: La Liga Santander - Matchday 5 Venue: Santiago Bernabeu Estadio Date: 20.09.2017 Time: 20:00 CET Expected Lineups: Real Madrid: Navas, Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Isco, Bale, Ronaldo Key players off the bench: Asensio, Ceballos, Llorente, Lucas, Mayoral Real Betis: Adan, Feddal, Mandi, Durmisi, Guardado, Garcia, Narvaez, Leon, Tello, Joaquin Key players off the bench: Camarasa, Sanabria, Boudebouz Notes: Cristiano finally returns to La Liga! 286 goals in 265 Liga matches in his career! I'm sure he will come out hungry for more! Theo, Kroos, Vallejo, and Benzema are out with injuries. We may see some rotations as this is a home game. We play Alaves at the weekend who have started the season with 4 consecutive losses, which seems to be a game fit for rotations. However, that is an away game and Zidane may want to play it safe. If we score a goal in this game, we will claim the world record of 74 consecutive games with a goal scored!

Awesome, another game. Lets keep this train rolling. Another W plz. Also............... return of the......
Glad to have Ronaldo back. Setien's Las Palmas gave us a lot of trouble last year. Can't take Betis lightly.
Did ya'll see the goal they scored on the weekend? Let me see if I can post it. 909496778122317827 is not a valid tweet id
Nice to have the GOAT back. He must fired up to score some golazos. Looking forward to this game. Sucks that Theo is out with an injury and Marcelo is serving suspension at the same time. Time for the very reliable Nacho to step up. Ronaldo - Bale Isco Kroos - Casemiro - Modric Nacho - Ramos - Varane - Carvajal Navas
Found out Marcelo's suspension was reduced to just one game which he served so he will start. Feels nice to have a full XI after a while.
The time in the post is wrong, it should be 22:00 CET (it's correct in the title). A must win game, we have to be perfect and wait for Barcelona to drop points, we can't afford another slip up.
Zizou said he's gonna run with Carva at the moment. That the physical part of it is not a concern right now. Perhaps a stretch of games is a good thing for Carva. Get this bad form out of your system.
I don't mind Zizou "betting" on Carvajal. He's proven people wrong before. With that said I really would like to see Aschraf see some playing time in case we ever do get to the point where he has to be relied on, and there is a pretty good likelihood of that happening.
Navas - Marcelo - Varane - Ramos - Carva - Casemiro - Kroos - Modric - Bale - Isco - Cristiano confirmed Marco, Ceballos, Llorente, Mayoral, Vasquez, Nacho and Casilla on the bench.
Going all out. We have had issues in our previous two home games with complacency, so I guess this is a message from Zizou to the boys.
That whole dangerous segment was on Carvajal passing it to Casemiro in a tight spot when Dani had better options forward
