    Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

    Well that squad is only getting older and more stale. They need some big signings if they want to keep winning.

    Carlo Ancelotti

    In general, dry dribbling someone who is faster and stronger than you as a winger is very difficult. You need on ball situations set up by teammates eg layoffs, one twos, fast break through balls where you can get the extra step and have more space, and also have the threat of shooting. Vini...

    Xavi Hernández

    As long as we are looking to play positively most of the time it's fine. Our approach was conditioned by missing the good creative players we have, to be fair.

    Carlo Ancelotti

    You don't deserve luck if you hardly create a single chance the entire game. Madrid created almost nothing. They had one good chance which was Alvaro header right at the end then a Carvajal half chance on the volley, but at the most, the best Madrid deserved is a draw. Needs to look at his own...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Maybe we should give benching him for an extended period of time a go. I remember how we got him unsuspended for that one game against Espanyol and we ended up drawing that one too. Even if we can't see it clearly ourselves he must be dragging down the team somehow because we only drop points...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Its the same for Bayern. Him leaving didn't really make them any worse even if Bundesliga might be a little closer. Beginning to think he's not even a positive force, just statpads for himself.

    Xavi Hernández

    Need to play better than we have been in past games. That display of character and grit was fantastic, but when the other team score first instead it all goes to shit. We have to be creating and be on the front foot a bit more.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Alexandre Pati? Idk man. Its hard to have faith when he's looking this bad. It may not be down to him, the type of injury and subsequent treatment he had (meniscus removal) makes the knee really weak and unstable in the long term. Physically he is only going to get worse and worse. Injuries...

    Regardless of how we won, 1-0 at the Bernabeu missing important players is a great result and anyone would've taken it before the game. Don't think anyone is complaining, it was best possible outcome.

    Xavi Hernández

    Pretty much as soon as we started 2nd half vs United they started flooding numbers forward, pressing extremely high and shooting whenever they got space. Ten Hag realised what the plan was pretty much instantly after the first half. This time it seemed like Ancelotti never really woke up.

    6 - Gavi

    Being tough doesn't mean playing without your brain. He makes meaningless fouls all the time and gets booked for no reason. See the corner where he gave Vini a shove for literally no reason and got a card. He should look more towards Araujo, that is a football alpha male. Serenity and gets...

    Xavi Hernández

    Have to say a lot of the blame for that loss goes to Ancelotti. He set them up badly, he should know by now we play a physical and intense game and he put them out there with Kroos and Modric instead of going with Tchou and Ceballos. I agree with you that if we faced a more intense and faster...

    Xavi Hernández

    This match was different from a lot of our defensive 'masterclasses' this season where we have conceded a ton of chances and Ter Stegen has carried us. We actually conceded hardly anything today and they didn't really deserve a goal. So this type of performance can only be positive.

    Xavi Hernández

    Xavi: "I'm satisfied with the result, but not with our match. We can't let our rival take the ball away from us." :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: He coached a great defensive game, why does this guy love lying. He parked the bus and it worked, why act like you didn't want to do that?

    Carlo Ancelotti

    He reacted really, really slowly today. It was clear Xavi wanted to park the bus right from the start of 2nd half but he waited to make attacking subs for no reason, and only gave 10 minutes to Alvaro when needed a big presence in the box.

    11 - Raphinha

    You guys need to ease off on the criticism a bit. He was really poor offensively, yes, but having to run and defend that much means by the time you get the ball on offense you're knackered and don't have energy to do much.

    Franck Kessie

    Honestly I really like him. He's a cool head. Very all-rounded and nothing rattles him much. Also has a great knack for moving into the box and getting into scoring positions. He needs to be more active and get involved but overall, having him as a backup is great.

    Xavi Hernández

    Don't agree we don't have players to play good football. Our midfield crop (when all fit) is probably the best in the world. Look at the game Kessie played today, after you all were trashing him and saying how shit he is. Having that guy as a backup is a huge luxury. But nothing wrong with...

    Xavi Hernández

    Xavi's evolution as a coach is so interesting. Despite playing in exclusively possession based team, under possession based coaches, his entire career, he has grown to favour a defensive approach. And it might have been a bad watch but it sure was effective. Madrid may not have scored for...

    Copa: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 1-4

    Christensen injured but on the bench? Hmm.
