Agreed. Right now it is all about keeping motivation up high. We won thanks to the spirit of the team and the crowd. We will need it if we want to achieve success at the end of the season.

My big fear is that we take the foot of the pedal and relax thinking that "it is done". Wouldn't be surprised if we struggle in our next liga match.

Called it.

God helps those who help themselves. Wednesday we clearly did and and today we clearly did not. Totally reasonable.

Even if we in Clasico, RM have a game in hand. We need RM to drop more points to have a chance

People need to forget about treble. We do not have a squad good enough to win the treble. I hope CL is the primary focus. CL + Cdr and it's way more than what we could expect with this squad. Arda, gomes, paco and denis are our subs when the starters need rest. Just think about it.

Players were spent mentally and physically after the PSG game. Plus the Riazor isnt always straightfoward, even though we smashed them last year i think.

And we've to be more consistent, which we aren't unfortunaly.

Madrid doesn't even need to play well to win games. They can depend on crossing from the likes of Kroos, Carvajal, Modric, Marcelo to feed Ramos, Cristiano etc.

What's most worrying about this team this season is that when Messi or Neymar fail to dribble 3 players and create clear cut scoring chances, we have nothing going forward. As we saw today, Messi was off and we could get nothing going in attack.

Unfortunately Iniesta is getting to a point in his career where we can no longer rely on him to create consistently. This is not Barca, this is not our style.

We are at our best when we play short creative passes in attack and look to open the other team up with possession or strike quick with MSN on the counter. For the most part of this season we've lacked ideas going forward and usually score our goals through sheer might and repetition, PSG for instance.

We still have loads of possession but it's not useful possession, just sideways passing. We now score by crossing it into the box and somehow managing to bundle in an ugly goal. This is not our style and is definitely not sustainable with the the of players we have. Lucho needs to figure it out and quick or this season is a goner.

Even against PSG, two of the goals were penalties, the first two were ugly flukes and the other two were produced from Neymars individual brilliance.

lol .. we have more chances winning Laliga than winning the champions league .. This lot has zero chance winning against europeen top teams for 3 consecutive stages.
