Mbappe even when he gives a MOTM performance gets criticism. His elite level has raised the standards so high people expect him to score hattrick every week. He is the strong favourite to win the Ballon d’or, been the best player this season by some distance.
Win, win, win. doesn’t matter how you do it, what minute you score, how many you score, what percentage possession you have, or sofa score ratings, just win. That is what people associate Real Madrid, why they have 15 UCLs and 36 La Liga titles.
It's okay. They won, that is all. They are still there. The injured players are coming back. They need to survive this month, and by March, RM will be a different team.
These pundits are pathetic at this point.
Most important thing is to win. Today there was not much need for their MVP 12th player but when required, he will be there.
There's days mbappe plays well and doesn't score and he gets insulted as well , he's a striker. His job is to score, he did so once again 9 goals in 6 games , 7 la liga wins . That's all that matters
Cry and cry out loud ESPN or should I say Varcelona channel
Convinced Craig doesn’t understand football
F*ck Valencia
So RM won against Valencia, a team that lost only two games in their stadium this season, and hasn't lost any game in their last six games… and RM won just because Valencia is bad!! Listening to those pundits is becoming so annoying… Winning by 2 against team which played 10 men behind the ball in their stadium with all the absences that RM has is very bad in their opinion!!!
So barka dogs did Madrid get a penalty did they get destroyed 😂
For all the people criticizing the panel…
If Real Madrid was playing in the premier league and they were playing like this, do y'all think they can win with such narrow margins?
It is one thing to win like this under Ancelotti with Modric, Kroos and Benzema. This team is nowhere near that.
They have not won the UCL alone and when Vinicius and Bellingham won it all they were helped by the experience of that dressing room a lot. They did not panic in such situations and they know they could recover.
This team is outright just playing like a headless chicken and it needs to have some structure and rigidity from a manager to get that experience to win. A structure to make sure they can always return to when it gets hard.
Ancelotti failed to do exactly that despite the results
What do you guys at ESPN FC want from RM and Mbappe, 10 goals a minute? They played without a lot of their best players and came away with the first clean sheet from Valencia in thirteen years. Yet you talk rubbish. The premier League is the best in the world for Craig, let's see who wins the champions League. It about time you folks understand that football as popular as it is, is a game like any other. The law of averages state that you cannot always be or will not always be the best. I see PSG this year struggling like other teams. That's the game call football.
They brought their floaters today.
The first line from craig actually about barcelona highline…😂😅
Talk what you like, l saw a better RM today.
