REAL MADRID vs LAS PALMAS | La Liga Fixture #20 | Estadio Santiago Bernabeu | 19.1.2024. 4:15pm CET

Finally everything is in our hands,the gap with Barcelona seems unreal how things change wow.Atletico hopefully will lose more points soon.

Now lets make things right in the Champions league and go to the KO rounds.

 

We are riding the highs and lows with Carlo at the helm. I like our chances too.

 

The best part about this win is we add a couple more coins to the “Mbappe CAN play as striker” piggy bank.

 

Ceballos had a great game from eye test. Analytics confirm it.

 

perfect weekend would be waking up tomorrow to hear we signed a RB..... one can dream.

 

Well for some of us, including me, absolutely, yes, for others, probably not, everyone's got their own way of looking at things,

 

Ancelloti was very animated this game.

 

Insane season

 

Like every other big team on the planet at some point, no team always wins always plays incredible football, never has any injuries, always has the perfect squad, always makes the right subs at the right time, we are not unique in struggling with any of those factors, so right now i give the team and the coach my support

Unless we are on some crappy 8 game losing/drawing streak or 4th or 5th in the table playing garbage i'm keeping the faith, i've been a fan for a long time i've seen way worse Madrid teams and coaches with way worse results in the league and CL than what i'm watching now, not many teams out there can claim to have won two doubles which include the CL in 4 years so, until something catastrophic happens i'm all in

 

Dani ceballos: "Simeone still hasn't gotten over the two Champions League finals he lost against Real Madrid."

 

Are RM play better without Vini ?
It’s not the first time that we play very fluid and as a team

 

Please don't make this "we play better without Vini" thing a narrative. Like Mbappe earlier on, he's going through a rough patch.

 

Definitely noticed that we had far less of a bias towards the right of the pitch. Also, Rodrygo was doing a lot more in defence. With that said, this was not tough opposition and even if it was, are squad is way strong enough to deal with most if not all teams on the planet without Vini.

Vini is going through a frustration, I just won the Fifa Best so I'm going to be lackadaisical phase. One thing that has me concerned is whether we are going to get these constant ups and downs. Also don't think he's going to take Mbappe coming into form very well.

 

Mbappe, Rodrygo and Fran all players that have had ups and downs and at times not good were very very good today. I know it's Las Palmas but hopefully this can really kick start them into consistency.

Ceballos was like playing with an extra player today. He's had a very good season so far and I think we really need to ride his good form. Strangely, him and Fede have pretty good chemistry.

 

Wherefore Art Thou proverb ... ' If something is managed by many, things are missed '

Too many cooks ...

 

One of his best games this season along with Atalanta away. With Camavinga out for 3 weeks, he will get more opportunities.

 

7 points clear a head of Barca and 2 points ahead of Atletico.

Great game, each game Kylian starts to show the player that we all wanted to see.
Dani is amazing, I hope he continues with the level of performance he's showing.
The referee was trash.

 

I just love Fede. Quiet and lethal.
Nice win.

What have this club done to Steve "piece of crap" McManaman that hates the club so much? It is unbearable to hear him.

 

This the second time that they are doing this. Kylian could been only 2 goals from Lewa.

 

Cebellos is one of the best midfielders we have. He’s got to be a starter now

 

The team was fairly fluid a year ago when Vinicius almost single handedly lead it part Bayern, City and Dortmund.

I'm not sure you change the whole recipe for a restaurants most popular and best tasting meal just because you've got a fresh batch of ripe avocados.

 

The team is no way better without Vini. He’s one of the best players in the world.

what we have though is more balance. That’s on Carlo though. I think the 3 forwards is dead and we now have to have Vini and Mbappe upfront and Diaz starting on the right as a quasi attacker and midfielder alike Valverde a few years back. Ceballos needs to start too. He’s not Kroos but he’s the closest thing we have to him right now.

 

Mbappe isn't up and down. He was up from 2018 until 2023. 2024 was hard for him for a variety of reasons (while still scoring 39 goals and 15 assists in the calendar year source: https://mbappe-haaland.com/en/stats/-/2024/). Now he's back in form.

He won't go down... Mbappe will maintain all the way through world cup 2026 methinks. After that, like most players, you may see a little weariness for a few months.

 

Credits to the team. That was a dominant performance. The counterpressing and effort was phenomenal.

Ceballos had an amazing game. Shout out to Mbappe, Rodrygo, Lucas, Fran, Fede, Brahim, Asencio, Rudiger and Jude.

Thibo was the worst player, which means he almost had nothing to do. Which we all like to see.
