Re: The Official Football Thread
The game was decent, pretty enjoyable to watch. However, let's leave aside all the controversial hand balls and offside - because either way Madrid played like shit most of the time. Our goal was more Bayern's fault rather than our attacking ability (4 defenders in front of the goalkeeper, not marking Ronaldo, or Ozil, or Benzema). Oh and Marcelo... I was wondering where Pepe was, but then I remembered if it ain't Pepe then it's Marcelo's turn to shine. Madrid's defence wasn't bad, however during almost every counter (Real's "speciality" recently) there was no help from the back, leaving Ronaldo, Di Maria and Benzema (usually only two at a time) to take on 4 to 5 defenders by themselves. 90% of the time that resulted in nothing. Coentrao was a waste, Marcelo should have played from the start. None of the players stood out. Ronaldo wasn't there to score a hat trick like against Atletico, carrying the entire team. Bayern's second goal... dunno how they allowed that to happen.
On the other hand in my opinion Lahm and Ribery did a pretty good job. Oh, and props to Madrid for getting themselves 6 yellow cards.
