I don't think this second dip was a matter of buying into own hype. Rather, it was fatigue and the fact that it is simply difficult to keep a high level throughout an entire season - hence why we always discuss aiming to peak towards the business end of the season (if that's possible). Being...

In that case, let's hope Garcia isn't injured.

Maybe Eric Garcia as well. Will Koundé and Balde be back?

Amazing performance. Deserves to stay.

What rotational fullbacks and wingers for Olmo price? And who would play AM?

Let's hope. Let's hope the team is strengthened and we don't actually regress next season.

He seems to be a pretty humble guy. A friend of mine spotted him at his gym. On a related note, another friend flew next to Gabriel Jesus, while he played for Man City, or so she says.

Had a massive drop in form since beginning of the season. Did not expect this.

Will always think about this.

Always worry when he is subbed in.

Very painful defeat because we were just 2 minutes away from going through. I'm not getting into the blaming refs (don't think they were bad) or individual players (Araujo). Biggest factor imo was - I wish our players controlled the match better in the last minutes and did not try reckless...

And Ferran rested in the weekend.

Must-win game against them. Can see us dropping points vs Espanyol/Villarreal/Athletic.

Would be funny if City ended up ahead of them.

Lucho did not play gala XI during the first hald of that season. He rotated agressively iirc.

Pedri's decline in 2nd half is fatigue imo. Not sure if it can be solved at this stage of the season. Raphinha is out of form. If he kept his earlier season's form, he would fully deserve Balon d'Or. Hope he still has some clutch moments left in him.

Can't sell Fermin without replacing him. Olmo is always injured. Fermin is next in line to play in his position after him. He can also cover Raphinha some times. Anyway, it's not a problem for next season. Apply meritocracy with everyone fit and then we don't have to guess.

The last joke made it worth it.

Rüdiger is the most despicable player I've seen, as I've said many times. And he just keeps showcasing it more and more. If this is how he treats Madrid's own staff, imagine how he treats the rest of the people who work for him?

The real debate is how to choose between Mark, Stegen and André? :thinking:
