Neymar Biscuits Alves Pique would have been there, if not for his unfortunate blunder.

1) We had no option other than employing "energy saving tactics" Our fixture list demands it. It was the right (read: inevitable) thing to do. 2) You are 100% correct about individual errors. We have avoided those for a very long time, in GK and defense. Better to happen in a crucial La Liga...

The good news is that by the time the Atletico game comes up, the league may as well be over, either way. On another note, isn't Sevilla's anthem the best on the planet:

I agree, especially if they go through to the CL semifinals (which they should) Both us (again, especially if we go through to the semis) and them will drop more points before the end of the season. Edit: Last season, Real Madrid also had the easiest program, yet through the most crucial...

I may be a bit ignorant here, but isn't Vidal highly compromised due to his bad knee?

What I would have done if I were in Lucho's shoes yesterday would have been the following: 1) Take out one of Iniesta/Rakitic around the 65th minute for Xavi. 2) Take out Suarez for Pedro. 3) Place Pedro on the left. 4) Move Neymar into the #9 position. Was Mascherano suspended by the way?

City did some very good signings early on with Silva/Aguero/Yaya, but failed to follow up, while PSG kept delivering good players. They also avoided the FFP ruling, City were not that fortunate (read: well connected)

May be so, but for us the biggest threat is Lucas.

Matuidi is the 2nd most feared player for me. I would have Veratti and Ibra play and Lucas and Matuidi out if I could choose. It's very difficult to strengthen the midfield for next season simply because we can't really buy a big ticket midfielder in January. They will all be cup-tied for the CL.

If I were PSG manager, I would 100% play Lucas. He is the number one danger for Barca. I would prefer it a 100 times if Lucas was out and Ibra played.

Pastore will be in there for sure. Lucas as well. Not a weak side by any means. We have to bring on our A game if we want to progress.

Do not kid yourself with such juvenilia. PSG have invested all this money, not for beating Marseille/Bastia/St Etienne, but to win the CL, or at least be as good as possible in it. Everything else is secondary.

I would take a 2-2 on Wed night. The upcoming game against PSG is our biggest of the season so far until the next CL round (provided we make it there of course) It's one of those ties that are impossible to call. It can end up as an Inter-like debacle, or a triumph as against City. I am...

The chances of Real Madrid dropping more points will go up exponentially if their difficult remaining games are sandwiched between the CL semis. Can anyone confirm this?

And that after we went ahead 0-2 inside half an hour and playing godlike until the Bravo blunder. My weekend has been ruined!

Maybe so, but it still pisses me off.

This is definitely not the end of the world for us, and may even serve to keep the team grounded for the PSG tie, but we have definitely lost the advantage we had after the victorious Clasico. Now we need all 6 points against Valencia and Espanyol.

Yup, French refs making sure they are fresh come Wednesday night...

I have never been a Lucho hater (far from it) but subbing off Neymar was a major brainfart and I am sure LE himself realizes this very well. Too late now though.

Nope. Still, Valencia, Espanyol, Altetico etc can ruin it for us. Keep in mind that if we draw two more games than Real do, they win.
