77% and 81% were the stats they showed on ESPN. I didn't made them up, I even said if I remembered correctly. I don't know if they were 77 and 81 exactly but they were definitely lower than 90 and 88. If ESPN got them wrong it's another story.

Well said.

You can tell there are times when he almost speaks stuff in Portuguese and then he remembers he must speak English, HAHAHA. So funny.

Only overshadowed by his reaction after missing a sitter: It's like he's thinking: "What the hell did I do? Holy shit, I'm so bad."

Only caught the second half but to me he was the MOTM. Take out his assist which was phenomenal and you still got a complete performance. Good defensively and offensively. He's had a low passing percentage for his standards but so did most of the players. But what stood out to me the most in this game in particular was how well he managed to keep possession while under heavy pressure, most of the time he managed to either keep the ball or pass it to someone else, it's incredible how fast his mind works in finding passes to teammates even when there are two players trying to take him down.

Not saying he was not poor but pretty much every attacking player had a below standard passing percentage in this match. For example, Fabregas had 77% and Hazard 81% IIRC, not too bad but below their standard quality for sure.

Where's the gif of Oscar's flying kick to block that one shot?

They also locked the live thread 5 minutes too early. Weird.

It had to be Fabregas assisting Costa

COSTA!

Uh, so close. Great play.

Holy shit

Just woke up, is that Cech? What happened to Courtois?

Gif version: I think this is the type of goal everyone likes to score when playing with friends. Too bad it doesn't happen very often to me

Real Madrid seems to have this effect on a lot of people. Especially when they're winning titles. Every player in every position is suddenly the best in the world.

Modric was never the best cm in the world.

Not to mention that Zidade would would come up huge in matches that really mattered. His WC performances are a testament to that. IMO, Fabregas is better than Modric and it's not even close. Comparing Fabregas to Koke is also silly. Koke has began his world class performances like the other day, Fabregas has been doing it for several years.

This was the best performance I've seen from Oscar the entire year. That 1v1 chance was worse than I remembered though, could have chipped it, could have dribbled past the goalkeeper, could have passed to Schürrle, yet he Torres'ed it. But that other pass to Schürrle's opportunity was beautifully executed. Expecting this last match to give him confidence to keep up with the good performances.

Fabregas is criminally underrated, it's unbelievable how cheap we bought him considering the crazy deals that have been going on lately. One of the best midfielders in the world who has just turned 27 for 30m? Yes, please.

Holy shit how many clear chances have we wasted now?

Beautiful pass from Matic.

I don't think they will equalize.

Hazard is taking really seriously the tracking back

This is what we missed against Schalke. If this was Ramires and Cahill they would have just watched until we conceded. Fucking foul him already.

Ramires is injured, dude.
