Liverpool once again confirming their loser status. Throwing in the towel before the game has even begun. Pathetic.

it's like when CFC travels to place like Blackpool or Burnley. Their biggest match of the season. So they have to have their best ready & hope CFC slip :Goober:

Madrid's football this season is simply breathtaking. Both on and off the ball, they're just... don't know what to say.

All their players can dribble anyone marking them, all their players have at least hazard level passing, all their players can cross better than all our players bar fabregas. Very hard to stop and man-mark their key players when each of them can easily dribble past you.

It goes further than that though. They're just so good. Tactically, everyone knows their job and knows where to move, making sure whoever is on the ball has plenty of passing options. They defend and attack as a unit.

There was a moment when Arbeloa took a shot after a loose ball. The ball ended up in the feet of a Pool player and they had the chance to counter-attack. One of their attacking dropped back to receive the ball, but Varane tracked him all the way up the pitch, putting him under pressure, which forced him to play the ball backwards... bye bye counter-attack. That's world-class defending. That kind of play allows you to dominate and make your opposition look weaker than they truly are.
