  1. Courtois has been RM best player this season, him being out against Bayern and even for La Liga is a massive blow for them. As a Barca fan I wish him a speedy recovery.

  2. Lunin is a Top tier backup Keeper, Madrid will be fine. Back line has to step up. Tchouameni is playing well but he will need to be more consistent protecting the CBs.

  3. THESE SO CALLED 'PUNDITS' NEVER LEARN FROM THEIR FAILURES AND GIVE RESPECT WHERE AND WHEN IT IS DUE. WE ALL LISTENED AND WATCHED THEM PREDICT BAYERN BEATING ARSENAL HOME AND AWAY IN THE QAULIFIERS. ARSENAL DREW WITH BAYERN AT THEIR HOME AND BEAT THEM 3-1 AT THE EMIRATES. HERE THEY ARE AGAIN TRASHING ARSENAL AND PREDICTING BAYERN TO WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. THE ONLY TEAMS WE DIDN'T PLAY AGAINST WERE BARCA AND PSG SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE EVENT WE PLAY EITHER ONE OF THESE TWO. ARSENAL DESERVE RESPECT BUT WE WILL LET OUR PLAYERS DO THE TALKING ON THE FIELD. WE ARE WINNING ALL FOUR

  4. Is that supposed to be an analysis? They just say that Bayern are going to be too strong for Madrid and that's it, no justification, no analysis of the two teams, no player comparisons. Nothing other than empty statements like, Bayern are stronger in every department. Ok, could one of them explain why they feel that is the case.

  5. Lunin will do just fine. Young Iker came off the bench to Win the final against Neverkusen, seems you guys just dont like history, Keep Up the real Madrid Pessimism it actually Oils the "Old" Machine.

  6. Why every year you all does try to make madrid sound like they can't win nothing..?? I wish you'll can 1 day apologized to madrid club and players when they prove you'll wrong again

  7. This is asking a lot especially from a keeper thrust onto a competition heading into a very difficult match. People keep counting them out and they keep winning but I think if Mbappe comes back then the defense will start to weaken again he just doesn’t defend and that trickles down to the rest of the team but we will see.

  8. English pundits always needs something to degrade Real madid and there players, if lunin joined arsenal or man city then these guys will say lunin is the best goalkeeper in the world he wasted his talents behind courtois

  9. Dry news day. Lunin will do well, he's done it before. Same thing was said about Mbappé, yet Madrid has gone on and played well without him. Lunin took us to the final and has proven he's reliable. Nothing to worry about… even against Harry Kane.
