Florentino Perez x Tom Brady 🐐🏈 pic.twitter.com/65YdoebJQY— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) April 21, 2024 The GOAT and Tom Brady
1-1 at half time... well, there are positives and negatives. We are getting chances and should have put a couple away at least (Modric and Vini) but the positioning of the defense and team in general is not to my liking. I would think about bringing on Mendy and Nacho/Militao for Modric and Cama since he is on a yellow.... or we could go crazy taking off Modric and Kroos then moving the mids back into midfield.
Yet he's a got a goal and was a recently trimmed toenail short of an assist to Rodrygo and his precision hygiene.
I don't like no DM line up especially with two old midfielders. Results in too much end to end style. Maybe shift Rodrygo to LW and Vini inverted so that former can help Camavinga vs Yamal. Vini missed an easy chance in the first ten minutes and totally unserious backheel pass to Rodrygo when he should have shot or made a better pass on the turn.
Bad half. We need to show more desire and approach with more seriousness. I feel like our guys are underestimating them a bit. If we played our game, we'd be up 3-1 by now. Vini and Rodrygo need to do better. FDJ off for Pedri....which means their middle is now a bit lighter defensively...must find a way to exploit that. Must Win...VAMOS
Xavi calling LV a diver is peak nihilism Edit: The same Xavi is certain that Camavinga fouled Yamal for a pk after claiming we dived
What's happening with corners?? Avarega half, nothing to prise for, but Modric/Kroos still should never start, why Carlo?
Militao in for Kroos or Modric soon. Tchouameni to DM. Camavinga has to be really careful against Lamine on a yellow card.....

Barca have no midfield. Good God how the mighty have fallen. I would take out Kroos. He adds nothing today, Modric has played very well. Bellingham is working very hard, shame his effort is being squandered by Vini's attempt at Joga Bonito.
Lunin poor on far post, midfield neither here nor there and overall lack of sharpness due to match against City. Maybe Mendy should replace Kroos and we could use another winger to push back their wide players.
❗️After the controversial ball that looked like it crossed the line in the first half, fans and Barça players were asking for Goal-line technology. La Liga president Javier Tebas has tweeted articles proving that the technology makes mistakes. pic.twitter.com/OYkydkJEn5— Madrid Universal (@MadridUniversal) April 21, 2024
I wasn’t really expecting much else. The players are dead physically AND mentally. In fact they are doing better than I thought. Barcelona are piss poor though, that did surprise me.
