I don't blame him for the set piece, second one okay. He was overall very good, if anything his price went up. 

that bad pass for the 2nd makes them buying him less likely

he will be a big scapegoat

will be remembered for it the rest of his career unfortunately and he is never going to win the CL to make up for it

That Adeyemi is a young fool.
He should have cut the ball to the right and chip it over Tibot.
If it was Pulisic he would have scored that.

thats the weak spot of Adeyemi's game, he lacks composure in the end

all the speed in the world but absolutely not (so far) a ruthless finisher

If Pulisic was playing for that Dortmund side he would have been on the bench when that chance was created so it wouldn't have happened.

Real Madrid are just boring now. They seem to play poorly every time I watch in recent years but still find ways to win each time. Opposition team need to know that you HAVE to be clinical or you stand no chance against them. If you allow them to hang around and let them off the hook with your clear cut chances they’ll ALWAYS make you regret it.

It’s got to the point where it almost doesn’t even feel special when they win it anymore.

Not at all.
Their mistake in years past was not to bring defensive players but only attackers.
When they bought Owen from Liverpool they neglected their defense.
But they have stopped doing that.
Real was -relatively speaking- out of money only once in their history, late sixties - early seventies.

Here is the only team in the world who -almost- mastered them:
 

Ivic - Senteno.

Winning titles in all top 5 leagues.

Lack of league titles would be my biggest criticism of him, especially at Milan. Only one league titles with a core team of Cafu, Maldini, Nesta, Pirlo, Seedrof, Kaka, and Sheva. 

Greatest Championship league manager, i'll definitely give him that.
