Real's back 4 are a trainwreck atm

Their fullbacks are just so poor and Rudiger and Alaba look so vulnerable 

Plus Kepa is shit

Cuntois would have stopped the 2nd goal

3 1  Atletico

Morata on a hat trick

2 assists for Saul now

[Vesper 30,139]

if Ancelotti wins the CL with this Real side (assuming no massive January transfers)

he truly will go down as the greatest footie manager ever

[Vesper 30,139]

Rudiger and Alaba look old and tired and disinterested

Militao is out for the year I think

and they have no help from their shit fullbacks

plus KEPA, roflmaoooooooooooo

R Madrid playing a diamond in this sort of game, where Atletico play a 352, was always going to cause themselves trouble.

Playing a system with wingers against a system with wingbacks leaves the wide areas exposed as it is due to the potential for an overload & spare man on the opposite side, never mind playing a narrow midfield diamond against it.

Kepa is just being Kepa: not making mistakes, but showing his level by not making the difficult saves. He was also ball watching just like the rest of the defense.

[Vesper 30,139]

Simeone has finally wrung out the pussy factor from Morata

no weak ass play, no diving, no whingeing and fucking about with his hair mid-game

commanding in the air and at hold up play

[Vesper 30,139]

and Rodrygo is shit on the LW with no other good offensive player to help on the RW

he is so much better at RW with Vini on the LW

[robsblubot 3,595]

Azpi had a strong defensive game; he operates well as a defending RB in a low block, which is how Atleti plays.

Eduardo Camavinga close to well-earned Real Madrid deal

https://thedailybriefing.io/i/138098268/eduardo-camavinga-close-to-well-earned-real-madrid-deal

Eduardo Camavinga is close to signing a new contract with Real Madrid in a deal which should be officially announced quite soon. He’s certainly had an interesting development at the club since his move from Rennes in 2021.

He joined at such a young age, but Camavinga hasn’t just been there to make up the numbers - he’s proven himself more than adept when trusted in his preferred midfield position, and he’s also developing as a left-back, which has been really intriguing. He’s been used there for Real Madrid and increasingly for France as well, because that’s an area which, within the French talent pool, there actually isn’t as much quality in the two full-back areas as there is in midfield or indeed any other position on the pitch.

I think Camavinga has developed well in both roles, so I think it clearly points to a big future in the national team, wherever he ends up playing in the long-term.

Camavinga’s new contract has been in the works for some time, with further details here from Fabrizio Romano, and it’s well deserved. He wasn’t a proven player yet when he joined, but he’s got a couple of titles under his belt and I think has earned himself a new deal to reflect his growing importance to the team.

He looks completely at ease in the environment he’s in, so hopefully once this new deal is signed he can continue to focus on developing, as it seems he’s in the best place for that at this moment in time.
