    Anyways Solari would probably be sacked after this season.

    Solari was never meant to be headcoach, still they give him a contract. I think Perez has a money growing tree in his secret basement or something. He throws with money like its nothing, except for the most important part in the club, our starting eleven.

    He will be going end of the season, we would only have to pay him until end of this season if we sacked him now anyway

    Barca, Atletico, Juve & PSG are the teams I want as far away from that trophy as possible. Just personal preference....

    I have the vibe of underdog winning CL this season. Stars are lining up for Spurs and Poche.

    Personally, just no Barça, I can live with any other team winning the title. Please no Barça, they're also $hitty but we made them look like an invincible team, as always.

    I forgot to give a big shout out to Modric for initiating the shirt swap following the match with Donny van der Beek. He's always been a true sportsman and outstanding player throughout his career. I will be saddened when he retires as he is what the game is all about!

    I'm signing off until Ajax face your club in next year's Champions League for a rematch!!! (I trust the club will do the right thing and finish in the top four of La Liga).

    Too many clubs I don’t want to win of the teams still in it as of today, never Farca, definitely no EPL team, no PSG, no to the other Madrid team, no to Juve, who’s left? Can’t even think who as I am really no longer that interested, personally for Madrid next season, I would love the La Liga title

    Don't give in to these Wenger-like excuses such as, 'nothing went our way' or 'we hit the post twice'. Only Varane's chance actually looked like it should be a goal. Apart from that, the performance was abysmal and had nothing to do with bad luck. It was a long time coming. I had a sense last year that we rode our luck against Bayern and Liverpool in the first half. The last time we went out, against Juventus, we at least managed to turn the screw and they held on to dear lives. But yesterday, we were bypassed in midfield, bad passes, plain technical errors, wrong runs, defensive lapses, everything. We never suffocated them with our attacking play. This is what mediocrity looks like once you allow it to creep in. Perez is the main culprit, a man who will not listen to anyone - and he had signs all around him to stir things up yet declined to do so.

    And as I said, Butragueno scratches his head: “But we feel very sorry for our fans and for our players, because everything went against us and we tried our best but we did not have any luck.

    “They scored from each of their first two attacks, then we hit the post twice – this is not normal – and then their third goal killed the tie.

    “We got one goal back but we cannot win all the time, we know sport is like this and tonight was not our night.”

    What a joke.

    The days following a CL are generally not the best for a well weighted response. Butragueno has to give a response on the spot, and look at the rest of the season as well. Going out there and saying "we're sh*t" won't do much good.

    When are some of these ppl taking some responsibility eh? We know the bs talks: not our night, bla bla we were unlucky. No.

    We got trashed, outclassed in 180 minutes against a team who has a salary ceiling of 2M. Blind or Tadic is their highest earner, with 1.5 - 2M,

    We pay an overhyped BPL left back 30M (!).

    So you suggest just quitting on the season, firing the players and reregistering from the fourth division for now or what? Just because fans are having absolute mental spasms, which are perfectly within their right, doesn't mean that's what i expect from a press official.

    The problem is: fans are frustrated because the overwhelming majority of them saw this happening, yet two or three diehards thought differently. It was not nearly as problematic when Juventus beat us because it really was about smallest of details against a great side. But to be humiliated at the Bernabeu by Ajax after Copa del Rey and La Liga defeats to Barcelona paints a picture of mediocrity - at least partly avoidable mediocrity had some people done their jobs.

    We went into the season supporting a completely different plan though, a plan which would see Asensio, Isco, Ceballos, Odriozola, Carvajal, basically all the young spanish players as pillars of a new team. The plan we went into the season, and the one we've been executing in the past 2 months are two completely different things.

    That initial plan failed so we brought in Solari to try whatever works for now with this group and try to get the most out of it.

    Whether some people predicted it is one thing, but the board had a clear idea and hired the coach for that idea to boot.

    To me, big part of our lack of fluency stems from not having confidence in our forward line to finish the job. We not only do not score, but we create little and our midfield is ever more prone to mistakes. Due to a lack of vision, Perez had managed to bring down the whole team mentally and players who would most probably play much better with just two or three bigger changes to the team are now doubting themselves. The fans are requesting wholesale changes and that is the main problem - entirely avoidable by adjusting here and there.

    There is nothing wrong in having faith in young players, but it is entirely wrong to base your strategy upon your expectation that Asensio and Bale and Vinicius will explode and score 15 goals more than they usually do. Who else would? We don't have midfield made up of goalscorers.

    The majority of the team supported the hire of a coach they played equally terrible under. We didn't start with Asensio and Isco and whatnot doubting themselves, we started with Lopetegui handing them automatic starts based off of his national team experience. Then Solari came in and mostly reinstated the team we had last season with Lucas in there filling in for Ronaldo (ha!) to mixed results.

    But yeah, if the players now feeling the pain would have ripped trees out for Lopetegui, the guy that arrived to push them ahead would have still been coaching us.

    Vinicius wasn't even part of the plan because the plan was Isco and Asensio are starters or at least 2500 minute players for us. Vinicius wasn't even registered with the first squad, he started playing for Castilla until we sacked Lopetegui.

    Start Asensio the rest of the season. Start at least one of Ceballos/Valverde/Isco every game, preferably 2. Start Mariano half the games.

    How did Isco become one of the pillars - at least for a while - under Zidane? By playing well and displacing Bale from the starting lineup. Asensio too came on frequently when the team needed width and pace. And that is how it should have been. How did Perez rejuvenate the squad in 2009? By adding quality. But strategy based on expectation that several players who for several seasons or ever did not score more than 10-15 goals will suddenly score 30 is wrong. It throws the whole balance off.

    Do you realize what is Media going to do to us if Juventus wins? Real was all about CR, bla bla bla ...
    I know we all hate Ajax for beating us, but honestly, now that we are out, i really want them to win it!
