VALENCIA vs REAL MADRID | La Liga Jornada #23 | 08.02.26 | 21:00 CET

I’ll be curious to see our formation and lineup today.

 

Form etc doesn't matter in this game,we always struggle there

3 points or we are done ,if Mbappe starts as a 9 and Gonzalo on the wing....there is no hope for this club

 

I'm feeling apathetic to our squad and most of our games now. But obviously always - Hala Madrid.

 

Definitely not, these guys play like a top 4 side when Madrid and Barcelona visit, it’s like their way of restoring a bit of pride for a former top Spanish side, but taking points from the big dogs, even though they’re obviously shit.

They’re unique that way.

I can’t recall the last time we had a simple game at Mestalla. This is like the away game against Rayo, similar discussion.

 

Like I’ve heard a good number of true Madrid fans say, it’s the first time since I’ve followed the team, where people are growing to dislike the squad.

A lot of fake, annoying and/or crap performing players.

 

I think there is a good chance we'll do better without Bellingham and Junior who conveniently decided to skip playing in the away stadium that's the most hostile towards him.

The Fede-Tchouameni-Camavinga midfield leaves so much to be desired but on paper should dominate Valencia.

Brahim will probably start ahead of Mastantuono and Trent will be at RB.

Like many, I'm apathetic about this squad. Watching RM has become a chore..

 

This is the team i support, through thick and thin, seen worse players results and football before, as per normal i am backing the players and the coach till the last kick of the season, hoping for a win today

 

Trent is back from injury just in time to get injured again...

 

That first picture LMAO

 

My prediction is that this will certainly be one of the games of all time. Zero clue what to expect though.

 

Jimenez?? So Trent or Dani both not ready? ;o

 

Dani isn't ready yet for many minutes.
Trent will be subbed around in the 60th minute, we shouldn't rush him.

A back line of 4 Spanish players. When was the last this happened at RM?

 

Brave call to start Jimenez. Hope he does well.

 

Is he actually back? IIRC he's been on the bench in games since his injury without seeing a minute.

 

Like the posession, just need a few through balls in the last third.

 

I appreciate the attitude of Mbappé of wanting to get involved, but he has to stick to the role and play central and up front. All this coming onto the flanks, back into midfield etc. offers absolutely nothing.

 

I want him to combine with Gonzalo when Gonzalo is pressing. He's left Gonzalo running by himself a couple of times.

 

Really struggling with the build up. No surprise.

Would like to see Arda on the ball a lot more.

 

oooh, Guler with a good chance.

 

It's just too slow

 

That run by Mbappé and then attempt at a pass, won't work all the time. But you try that throughout the game and I guarantee it will eventually work. Top many times our attackers are just walking backwards facing the ball and not in a position to make a run behind the defence.

 

It doesn't work without vini!
