Euros will play a big role in voting too even if RM win the 15th. It does basically eliminate Kane from contention though since if Kane wins a Euro Belli obviously would have that on his resume + the league double.
It’s funny people kept saying the fans threw off Bernardo but it was obvious he meant to go middle even in real time. He tried playing a mind game of rushing the PK once he was able to take it to hope Lunin would panic and leap. The fans holding the ball didn’t affect him.
Final thoughts as I process this madness more.
This performance highlights why RM are so successful in this comp. For as much as people focus on their mystique in the CL, there’s also something concrete. They don’t have one set style they’re attached to. And if needed, the same group that is...
Firstly GGs City. As I endured 110 mins of my squad getting outclassed, it was clear y’all are the best team in Europe by quite a margin (for now..)
But the best team doesn’t always win. Even when they play better. Footy can be a cruel game, and it’s an L for City that reminds us again how...
Barca finally paying for Araujo’s sins at the perfect time. Up 2 at home with a potentially very winnable semifinal ahead.
In La Liga he’d never see a red for that.
And patleti is irrelevant but cool they’re also out.
Love Jiri and the way he embraces the mental part of the art of war. A big part of winning that fight imo was winning the mental battle to break Rakic.
If it weren’t for nacho being dookie this season it wouldn’t even be a consideration. But I agree I’d rather probably play nacho unless Militao has a good run over the weekend.
Think RM not getting the win against City is a bigger deal. City will get players back, we’ll lose Tchouameni. Him picking up the yellow which meant he’ll miss the next match and then conceding a cheap goal early really lost us much of the psychological advantage/intimidation factor very early...
