    Penal Madrid

    In the case of 2012, I happen to think we were the best team overall, followed by Bayern and Madrid. However, cup competitions require more than just the best team on paper to be victorious. You have to factor in mental strength, the capacity to suffer and handle pressurized situations etc. Of...

    Penal Madrid

    What is your criteria for deserving it more? It seems entirely subjective to me. The team that wins it is the team that deserves it as far as I'm concerned.

    24 - Eric García

    To be honest Varane is just perfect for anyone.

    Penal Madrid

    My first choice would be Atletico if we fail I too would hate to see City win it.

    Luis Suárez

    Bale's wages are huge!

    Quique Setien

    I see your point but I think Madrid's institutional attitude and identity is more about winning than anything. Our identity, or philosophy, is closely associated with style. I'm not saying it must be 80% possession all the time, but I believe it would be a mistake to deviate from attractive...

    I agree EV should have been sacked after Liverpool, but replacing with Allegri makes no sense given people hated our style of play under Valverde. Allegri is a pragmatist. It's as though losing the league to Madrid, who play pretty defensive and dull football, made people start to appreciate...

    Quique Setien

    He may not have the personality to lead a big club but that didn't change the outcome of two league titles in a row. Allegri would take the same approach as EV. He would assess the state of the squad and evaluate the best tactical approach. It would be boring to watch.

    That's what EV had been doing, though, and people hated him. They are cut from the same cloth

    This could also read as advocacy for Valverde, though.

    Zinedine Zidane

    That's how leagues work. The best team will always win. Luck has minimal impact during a 38 game league season.

    Quique Setien

    We won titles under Valverde who has a similarly pragmatic approach and people were still unhappy.

    You need to understand that Milan is a very different club. They depended on Berlusconi for 20 years. We don't depend on any rich individual. Our revenues are way better than United's right now. Get a grip.

    Luis Suárez

    Unfortunately he's still the best no 9 we have so unless we do sign a good striker this summer he'll be starting next season

    Thiago Translantara

    No I think City will be back stronger

    Quique Setien

    I wouldn't say i'm especially optimistic over our short to medium term future, but I find the comparisons to AC Milan excessively alarmist. I think in the worst case scenario it would be like Man U

    Martin Braithwaite

    The fact that this guy is playing for us is embarrassing. Almost as bad as Faubert at Madrid some 10 years ago

    Quique Setien

    I remember Setien saying that Madrid would definitely drop points. Idiot. Clearly out of his depth. Having said that, I don't see the sense in appointing another random nonentity, so might as well keep him on. But I think the players clearly don't like him so expect he'll be gone

    Keep him unless someone better lined up.
