Bruh "possible real Madrid starting XI" Vini as RW lol
The fracture clinic in Madrid won't be as busy because Ramos is in Paris
67% of the population turned up over weight this morning
Miss or not depending on how many goals Barca scored against them.
Finding myself watching ESPN less an less. They need quality pundits an out with the old and out of touch pundits. It needs a change
A lot mfs gave up their two best CB 😂 mfs gonna end Up in the Europe league next season 😂
Militao🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏
Real problem was letting ronaldo go
Who is gonna defend militao and alaba with nacho as reserve?? We need better players
Who told them he is coming overweight he looked trim to me more than ever he was in Madrid
Football is about
barcelonaReal Madrid,
Liverpool, United, city and juventus(coz of Ronaldo)
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️it’s tiring man
They should consider a bid for Cristian Romero
They spent almost the entire video talking about Hazard and his weight. What does that have to do with Real missing Ramos and Varane?
Vini plays LW bruh
Literally zero reports of Hazard being overweight again plus he’s still injured.
Alaba is way better than varane
I believe the most important q would be if Benzema is injured who is gonna score goals…..who????
Varane I have never seen Varane is a value defender cause he is not… A player with no confidence not a player, Varane has no self confidence, even though he played many many years, Thanks to Ramos he played on shadow of Ramos…Ramos is a unique player and also unique leader madrid loss big big big leader!!
Nacho + Militao will be the right CB partnership.
Ancelotti has to change the playing formation to have Odegaard and Jovic performing.
Valverde,odegaars,Isco, Blanco will play a big role in the midfield plus kroos,casemiro and modric still have loads of quality left in them these prem retards are trying to make things look worst than it actually is not to mention the fact that Ramos and varane both wanted to leave the club is not going to bow down and suck thier toes so they had no choice but to let them go
There is no sense of loss of varane.
He was not a phenomenal defender.
Besides that he has low persona that is needed for leadership.
Look at nacho, he is not perfect, but he has a character. He strives to deliver for madrid at any position.
Okay who put stieve in this show.
Madrid could have lindelof and phil jones at the back at still win laliga 🥴🙄
