I've seen way worse from Real lately. Would look different if they hadn't missed 3 close chances in the first half. Only.
Vinicius was good. No complaints there.
Rodrygo would fit well in Barca. Passes when option to shoot.
Don't think it's all doom and gloom for Madrid. They played well in the first half, dominated, ran a lot. Might've even deserved more in the end.
Glad they didn't get it, though.
Good night for Barca.
You just have low expectations for him which he meets and that's easily confirmed by the metrics you prefer.
His movement is not that good.
He often wastes opportunities with the ball.
Resorts to the same tricks.
But let's just say I'm not seeing it.
That's simply wrong :lol:
To be productive player needs to get into goalscoring positions first and foremost. If he's not doing that well, of course I can accuse him of low output.
How can teammates provide him with balls in those positions if he doesn't get there?
It's a false symmetry...
Slightly offtopic, but I've always found claims like "if x does y, then he's the best" funny.
Football is a collective sport, it's not like saying if Spassky loses against Bobby, then Bobby's the best.
