Crazy, looking at the games, Braga wasn’t too far from having 5 points after three games. They’re playing well, props.
I can’t be upset today. We played really well, we made Real Madrid resort to time wasting (also, cheers to the ref pointing to the watch and then blowing the whistle on time) and we had a few proper chances to tie and even win the match. It’s the second 2-1 loss we didn’t deserve, but it is what it is, we showed that we aren’t out of our depth.
Great game by Zalazar and Al Musrati, Álvaro Djaló always dangerous, Ricardo Horta had a few chances too that could have changed the outcome.
We NEED to win against Union Berlin to at least get Europa League knockouts. With a bit of luck against Napoli and Real Madrid (the luck we didn’t have in the home legs), who knows.
4 mins of added time in a second half that had two VAR checks was fishy as hell. If Madrid needed a goal they would have added 6+
Wrong…we only pay the refs in knockouts.
Bellingham is on a Thanos kinda purple patch, wtf, please stay quiet for El Clasico
Couldn’t watch the game.
Glad Rodrygo got his goal. Hopefully he is back to his old self.
Quite a struggling past few weeks.
How was the team ? Jude? Vini? Defense?
