I'll say this, Ancelotti deserves the criticism he gets from some Madrid fans, there's absolutely no reason a team consisting of Mbappe, Vini, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Valverde, Modric, Camavinga and talented youngsters like Arda and Endrick aren't able to consistently string 5 passes together to create space for a chance at goal.
Bro shut up. You think you are better than ancelotti. If you were, real madrid will call you up
@BiggestMessiFan12334 Lil bro I'm touch you. Stop typing I don't like that from you
@biggest, why are you telling the other guy to shut up? I share same opinion with him. Yes, Ancelotti has won 2 UCL in the past 3 seasons, let's be frank, we all know how his team won those titles. With all of those talented players that Madrid have, I can't comprehend why we can't even dominate the smallest team in the world. Ancelotti doesn't know what he's doing, he's old so also are his ideas. I have believed for a long time (not even last season) that Ancelotti isn't the coach for Real Madrid. This season will really expose him, the team lost Kroos to retirement and the coach is totally bereft of ideas about what to do with the team.
What are you kids waffling about the Don is there for man management you have a bunch of under 25s with MASSIVE egos. 99% of coaches including pep cant handle that much ego
bro is faster than my internet 😭😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀 edit: omg 65 likes????? mom i am famous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy faster then mbappe
@@ZZ23822 fr
Fr😭😭😭😭
I think you are contradicting yourself. Bellingham hasbt scored because he has sacrificed himself for the team. He has accepted not to be that guy. ..
I’m guessing Bellingham told you that ???? 😆😆😆
Madrid is winning games on individual brilliance, Barca is winning games as a team.
Facts
Barcelona are currently playing the way us Real Madrid fans were hoping we would play
Your team just needs a better coach ,xabi Alonso or kloop
@@andyjimenez9845 I love Ancelotti but the team is too good to be playing the way it has been this season.
People say that Real Madrid have always played badly under Ancelotti, but we were at least a unit and had an identity before. This current team looks lost and disjointed
Ur team is much better than us, give them some time they will figure it out....
@@ahhsbbsbbw Hansu Flick has just arrived at Barca and is performing way better with less financial support though
While im happy Madrid won, I am pretty sad for Rodrygo cause he’s not getting many minutes.
He’s been poor for a few games now dude.
@@MD11303 I hear you but for example today he came in and played RWB for like 20 minutes and when Mbappe got subbed he played in his position for like 10 minutes. Just hope he doesn’t give up.
He had a small back injury. I'm pretty sure he'll play way more now.
@@MD11303 It's not like Real Madrid have been playing well without Rodrygo though, the whole team has been poor and have been getting points through moments and sheer individual talent
I've been rewatching Madrid games from the 3-peat years over the past weeks in the int'l break, and 2 things stood out to me immediately:
1. The sheer technical quality that team had was INSANE. Bro, from Sergio Ramos and Marcelo in the defense, to prime Modric, prime Kroos, James Rodriguez, and Isco in the midfield, and to BBC in attack, everybody was able to perform magic with that ball. You had like 10 world class passers and dribblers in that team. Today, the current players are missing easy passes, not just complicated ones, and them beating a man feels like a rarity. In terms of pure technical quality, other than Vini, nobody walks into that 3-peat team.
2. The forwards were unreal. What I mean by that is they had the speed and technicality of the forwards Madrid have now, but they were tall and atheltic, all of them were amazing at scoring headers, and especially at winning long balls played by the defense. Now if Militao or Rudiger play a long ball, there's a 95% chance the opposition wins the first ball.
Bro what? I don’t get u guys comparing that team to this team? That team had guys like Isco, Kroos, modric who can break a defensive line with one pass dude even ramos n Marcelo. It’s not the same. This is a completely different type of team.
For me, it is pass the ball to ronaldo
There will never be that good old dominant Real Madrid again. You can’t ever replace Modric, Kross and Casemiro who were the heart and soul of this team. Simply, they are Irreplaceable by their talent and especially by their selfless mentality. Real Madrid has to adopt and change how their play with these guys they have now, which is to play faster and more vertical football like City does. This is just my humble opinion
Wrong. Vini had all right to shoot that. There was no way Vini could’ve passed that to Jude. It was going to be blocked
As a barca fan
We will NOT run through them hahah
Tbh if we win, whatever the score, I'll be happy
Just a win 😂
Even if it’s by a penalty 😂😂 we deserve to be happy lmao
Barca 5 to Madrid -2 goals
Yes that is minus 2 goals
@@edwingomez7444 yup 😂🤣😂
Ancelotti has tried 5 different formations this season, he clearly doesn't know what the best lineup is or how to get the best out of the current players
With our current form we might get cooked in the el Classico
Don’t give up blood
Again Madrid play different against Barca, the same way athleti suck but play different against Madrid.
@@KellySmith-n7m don't give up, you might get fried
Thats a different type of game though, you never know
-Barca fan
Barca will demolish Madrid
Besides Araujo being out, this is the most prepared Barca has been to perform in and win big matches like Bayern and Madrid next week, they should win against Madrid and should win the league as long as the nerves don't get to them since they are playing away
Cool buddy
Madrid will give lolipop like goals as gifts.
Just barca needs to accept thise gifts🥴
Yallll missing the point on what SKILLZ talking about. He’s talking about how a team should be organized and compact and TEAMWORK.
Too much ego in that locker room
Now that there’s another star, everyone want to be the most important player
Its not just ego all the goal scorers are 25 or younger.
100%
When Luka Modric retires, we will see how Real Madrid will slowly, little by little, fall. Simply, such a player with control and vision is impossible to replace in the middle of the pitch, no matter how good the young players are and they are really good.
We can replace the vision and passing but by signing florian wirtz like player but they will lack other aspects of our luka, but if we wont sign god k ows who is gonna save this team in proving assist
God luka
Legend for a reason
Jude not scoring = out of form? He’s been amazing on & off the ball this season what are you on about 😆
He’s yapping because he didn’t watch the game.
@@MD11303 I can tell lol cuz Judes been so fun to watch this season! He keeps getting better
I think he’s trying to say they’re stoping Jude from scoring when he is in proper form
Agree
This game also jude was the only person made an attacking run to the far post
I haven't seen any one making those runs
and in midfield he does all the dirty labour work and runs forward with the ball
Tackling workrate off the ball movemnts all great
@@Smitasahoo99 he’s so important just like valverde for the work load they do on and off the ball throughout every game it must be exhausting doing what they do but since he didn’t score he’s not in form ig lol
Bro you and i both know el clasico hits different. Both teams have equal chance no matter what
Our problem is carlo ancelotti. He has no tactics at all
If it wasn't for Carlo, Real Madrid's last ucl trophy would have been in 2018. Or did you forget about the rodrygo and joselu substitutions?
@@Reda_tbb you completely misunderstanding my point
@@Reda_tbbJoselu substitution was accredited to Ancelotti's son who is on the coaching staff. Rodrygo's substitution was desperate and, quite frankly, lucky that City fell asleep.
In BOTH instances we relied on the opposition to fail (Neuer dropping the ball, City thinking they won the game). There was hardly anything Ancelotti did that any other manager couldn't have done in those instances if they just decided to say "play how you want to play, just go forward."
@@Reda_tbb I love Ancelotti, but you can't deny that the team is too good to be playing the way it is and he deserves criticism
@Reda_tbb are substitutions tactics? Ancelotti doesn't have anything to offer this team. He won those UCL outta luck and the brilliance of courtois and not because of Ancelotti
Vini & mbappe keep dancing and celebrating together the team including Jude loves it 🕺🏻🕺🏻
Your jude opinions were so stupid
Jude played a very brilliant game today, to goal count doesn’t even reflect he’s game, very quality 90 minutes straight
Real Madrid were playing with a new system today. That’s why I think they didn’t play at their best tdy. Either way, they got the job done which is what matters
This has been there best game in that they have played this season
@@Aiden-Hi I agree with you
@@JulianSanchez-bm4cuyou can’t be serious
@JulianSanchez-bm4cu you don't know what you're talking about. they were much better against real Sociedad, Espanyol, and Real Betis
@@thelegendhimself. Yes the scoreline may be higher in does other games but when you actually watch the games they were at their best in this one the only one they were better was vs español but they are a relegation team
Bellingham should've been MVP of this match, his work rate today was unreal. Our midfield definitely is not the problem, our defense is the problem in addition to not being good on the ball.
Mid field is also one of the problems
If u see all the games games except todays luka through ball no one ever tries to give a though ball, i saw the game vs lile, 80 mins madrid down by 1 goal all the forwards and midfielers were standing like statues without running behind defenders, i was literally crying to see that, no wonder we lost.
Our midfield is only world class at running like horses, except Bellingham no one else got the intelligence needed at this level, worst off the ball movement
Only side wise ball movements in the name of control
Some times too risky where abolutely no chance of any attacking outcomes which leads to lose the ball and give counter attacking opportunities.
Our midfield is world class on paper for years to come but right now performing just average, thats the reality.
Celta vigo had better stats in every way other than ball possesion.
Madrid had more shots on target and tackles
@@consoled-ys1uqReal Madrid had 3 shots on target and celta had 5. Stop with the cope.
Real madrid won and he's criticizing and when barca lost he didn't even post a picture... tired of this guy
As a Barca fan, winning ucl is easier than running over madrid
Skillz has come back from Hibernation after a Real Madrid stinker😂,glad to have u back man
Well said finally a realistic madrid fan this madrid is looking bad right now is barça way better but that doenst mean nothing in a clasico.
What I like I about is that you're always looking at the negatives😂😂😂 Real madrid are shortage of defense playing every 3 days international and club level, you saw fede was tired. But these are the kind of the that wins you titles especially away with a side really unbeaten at home. Win is a win. No one like good football like lossing , play bad , you win games, you win titles simple ❤❤😂
Negatives that are TRUTH. If you’re a fan and all u see is positive you’re not a fan. The team is looking disorganized and it’s facts if they play like this, BARCA will destroy them
@@nkululekotokologo5835 you have the best answer I totally agree with you
@@lebronbrew4048 bro all that is matters is to win the game
@@lebronbrew4048Barca also want to dominate the ball n what’s Madrid best at? Literally counter attacking football. But yeah Madrid do have some flaws it’s obvious.
I agree with everything u said
@@OlsiLusha-t8t I don’t just wait until we play Barcelona
@@adrianandronic6896As a Real Madrid fan, just shut up. Barca are the better team at the moment and they're playing the way we'd hope that we would play this season
@@moi4863 you will against Barcelona then you will be like sorry
@@adrianandronic6896 it's not impossible for Real Madrid to win, but Barcelona are the better team at the moment and they should get the victory, you're just being delusional and can't accept reality
@@moi4863 all I can say we will see what going to happen
I understand what you’re saying Madrid gameplay is dirty rn but it’s been like that every season at the beginning of the season and you didn’t say nun about that previously . Benzema and vini struggled with this at first and they found the connection eventually even if it took a lil longer than it is supposed to . Benzi didn’t like vini at first bc he would do the same thing to him
Brother there's struggle and there's what Madrid is currently doing, which is legitimately a terrible sight.
If not for Courtois and some poor finishes by quite a few of the teams they played they would've been looking at 3/4 losses EASILY by now.
@@De3dSh0twe were terrible 22-23, the season we lost the league to Barca and got thrashed by City 4-0.
The team papers over the cracks that Ancelotti leaves with individual brilliance. We ran out of it that year
But mid field and defence were not this volatile, right
and our CF plays like no 10 whos currently not good at take ons and 1 2 passings
@@De3dSh0t bro I agree with you 100% but look back at our closest games and even some that were easy wins and we have shaky defense in all those that’s how it’s been the past few years sadly but some how we come out winning
I don’t really believe in super teams so I been said I didn’t really want mbappe but the thing is I ain’t the one who pulls strings so I have to sit back and enjoy and grind my teeth away when I watch our games 😂but it’s hala madrid 🤍
People keep forgetting that Real Madrid never played satisfying football or good football.. they win like that by playing weird and just lucky goals or penalties/corner header or whatever goal from outside by Vini/Valverde. .... nothing new.
That’s absolutely not true 🤦♂️
they do play like that in the UCL and it works well for them but not in Laliga tho. If they play the way they just played throughout the Laliga campaign there's no way their winning the league unless barca or athletico have major capitulations
I feel like Rodrygo is going through the same thing like Neymar walking in Vini and Mbappe's shadow like Neymar was back in Barcelona with Messi
Judes not getting pushed back he’s playing his natural position why are we surprised by this?
Yes. Vini had all right to take that shot. Jude must relax
@@siyakhanzimande4817 nah it’s understandable too cuz Jude’s very passionate and expressive with football but no ones gonna hold a grudge to it :)
if you watch the atletico game where vini and rodrygo where up front with mbappe the team literally played better but when you have to use up front the teams lacks for some reason 🤦🏽
WHEN Madrid wins against Barca, AA needs to take all this back.
Dream
I think its mostly due to the fact that Zidane made it clear what the game plan was which was to pass the ball to ronaldo
Also madrid aint losing to barca at home youre on crack! Im coming back here after that game
finally man in my opinion madrid is playing the worst since many many seasons. there is no creativitiy or else just random passes big egos trying to be the main character. im not trying to hype him up but madrid needs arda güler to create chances. everytime he played the whole game changed in favor to madrid. ancelotti gotta do something asap
No matter what you do people will talk if you bench rodrygo people will say why do you bench rodrygo. If you bench mbappe and start rodrygo people will say why do you start rodrygo over mbappe. If you start rodrygo and bench vini people will still talk. If you bench camavinga and start rodrygo the same people will say we need camavinga in the midfield we should either bench vini mbappe or rodrigo and if Carlo bench one of them they will be insulting Carlo only 11 players should start so one of them should be on the bench
Bellingham was playing right and rodrygo was bench in case u missed that
Rodrygo benched for whom??
I’m just glad we won to be honest
You really cooked
And I'm a Madrid fan
We need to understand that this year’s Real Madrid is kind of brand new in a sense that : they just got Mbappe who isn’t the typical player. He and the team need some time to adapt to each other. It’s the first year without Tony Kroos since 10 freaking years. These are HUGE changes and all they had this summer to prepare this season was 1 or 2 weeks.. We need to be patient
LMFAOOO . No way this your excuse for “the best team in football” a “team only ancelotti can manage” and the media hype was ridiculous for them too . Somebody said Mbappe scoring 30 goals in LaLiga 😂😂
I agree with you, but carlo ancelotti is our biggest problem right now it looks like he always relies on individual performance rather than team performance. He has no plan at all and that's why the team is confused and looks unorganised.
I hope a better coach with tactics to come.

Real Madrid won 2-1 today, the title confuses me
Did you see the game? Calta vigo could have won this game if they could finish 🤣 barca CAN finish
the only thing that matters to me is winning, nothing else. a win is a win
Celta vigo is not top 5 in laliga and barca are top of the league so if they just edge celta vigo they will get demolished by barca
@@MicroClouds Actually you're the type of fan that drags the whole team down and makes Ancelotti have horrible tactics just to win. Please don't consider yourself a fan of the biggest club in the world if you think that winning is all that matters!
@@MasterFootballSoccer who said I was controlling what tactics Ancelotti uses and that I drag the team down? No one did, and I’m not on the team so how could I possibly drag them down? I’m just simply saying that I like to win. Nothing else. And I can support whatever club I want for whatever reason I think there is to support them. Don’t come at me for my simplicity, I don’t want to start something because of my opinions. So can you please stop talking about this, deal with the win, and move on? You’re making this complicated for everyone here
Like your analyzing.............👌
Rodrigo being benched it kills me😑😑
Watching real madrid since 2016 man im so sick of this 4 men in our mid field just for it to get ran through easily we need to lose to learn
Jude doesnt need to score 😂 he can play his natural position. I thought u knew your football
Than explain why he is always in the box behind mbappe
Bro his literally playing behind mbappe you might not see it in the formation but wat h the game
@@stephan946 that's what I am saying, this people don't even watch football matches they are just here for the hype.
@@Jesusiseternallife-b5x yeah
Why they're always so lucky 😭😭😭😭😭
It not luck they are good
@@adrianandronic6896They suck, dude. They don’t play good on attack and can’t defend all that well. Sucks that most of these teams they face can’t finish their chances if not they would not be 2nd place.
@@adrianandronic6896 I didn't see the match because I don't want to die yet, but according to the players' post-match evaluations, Celta Vigo's goalkeeper made some mistakes, which probably doesn't make Real Madrid good, but OK
@@MovieShortsforYu we will see against Barcelona
@@Adam-l2g we will see against Barcelona who is better
This is exactly what I said on X when Mbappe was finally announced and RM announced Rodrygo wasn’t going anywhere. The ego will eat this team alive, you won’t see it in LaLiga becuz Perez LITERALLY OWNS LaLiga (Not really) even tho it seems like it, But in UEFA you will see it when Teams are able to matchup Player for Player. What made MSN so dangerous is all 3 of them understood they had to play together from the beginning and what do ya know? All 3 had insane stats even with none them being selfish. Now RM has the talent, coach, Power(Perez), to win the Treble so don’t get it twisted but I jus don’t know how Jude, Vini, Kylian, Rodrygo handle it when the offense is stagnant and their actually losing. It’s RM so who knows tho, they could win the next 10 games by 2-3 goals a game 🤷♂️😂
we need a manager, thank you carlo. there's no way we have this big names team and we shxt
Any great team has their bad days
Yet they haven’t had a single great performance all season. Madrid has had spells of good football here and there but it’s very inconsistent.
every match has been a bad day 😂
@@diegobusto1721yep even the day we won the championship league was a bad one 😅
@@Babyshakornah js the first half of of the final was bad
Finally some one kept aside the hypes and speaks the truth
Now the team can't defend
Cant control
Cant through pass
Sweats to score
Without any luck and screamers(goals) this team is ultra low tier team like
I guess this team would play the same against man utd also
Good competition
Legend Modric
Someone is getting dropped and likely to leave to have balance in that team.
I hope rodrygo leaves. I think atp he wants it too
If Madrid play that same 3 back against Barca or any big team 🫨😮💨
Relax skillz barca ain’t running through no one the odd has been lower for us than many other years barca have always been the favorites home or away which makes me confident in Madrid the odds are never wrong when Madrid play at home
This aint old barca this is flickbarca😂
It’s really concerning RM situation idk and i don’t understand what is going on , players are not connecting the way they should if we don’t wake up bigger teams are gonna destroy us in a humiliating way and it’s just unjustifiable cause they got great players to be able to get the job done comfortably
Ye it’s sad 😢
I always said we don’t need mbappe we need that beligoal BACK!
Bro got the title wrong, madrid won bro
they are ass
We probably need to lose against barca to get our sh*t together. Also the Ancelotti arch is donnnnneeeee!!
Prime Madrid was just give the ball to Ronaldo and get out the way 💀 , this Madrid team can take turns bc they have so many talented players
Mbappe does zero to no defensive work and that pisses me off
If courtois wasn’t real madrids goalkeeper they would be mid table at best.
This guy has drunk ball knowledgeable
And I'm a Barca fan
?
@@IMVURYSMART 🤣I think some days he has a sip too much and just turns the camera on after the game 😂
Being a Barca fan now I know you were drunk when you chose that team to support 😭💀💀💀
Mbappe = cr7
Vini = bale
Rodrygo = benzema
No big no
Rodygo = A better version of Antony 2.0. , he is no way near Big Benz don't joke with us.
Kylian has no ucl
Luka Modarić
Lol Madrid is struggling but Celta Vigo played really well and should have won. They missed a lot of chances.
ngl im a madrid fan but everything he said is true
Nothing he said was true he was just yapping.
Carlo needs to leave
No tactics
The game play is so poor that's why the team is struggling
U just mention The team like Ronaldo, Bale and etc, Zidane was a coach who could manage all this players and still play good football with Much tactics
Even pep is always scared of Facing Zidane in those days
mbappe and vini dont press at all
Bro this is how Madrid plays. They get scrappy wins but they win
Barca fan btw
Greatest club Real Madrid 💯+
😂😂after multiple years of seeing Madrid be the underdog at the beginning of every season and be called “worse playing teams “ by you out of everything is insane 😂just keep watching 🤫Classico coming soon HALAMADRID
Skills god damn that must be the most dumbest title you could’ve put💀 the fact you think Barcelona are going to run through Madrid is just dumb asf😂 watch when Madrid win, come back to this comment and see how wrong you are😂 great teams always have bad games, they won’t always be at their best, you’re just overreacting blud 🤦🏻♀️
Said it in the beginning
Too much ego in that locker room
hi from guatemala skillzzzz

Feels like you’re romanticizing the old Madrid. There were so many times when Ronaldo would do what Vini did tonight.
Barca has been run through their defense as well as they have such a high line. Remember that game vs Villarreal? What happened to Barca’s defense then as well? I’m not understanding the exaggerated criticism. Deserved criticism is healthy, but it feels exaggerated.
Bench MBAPPE. Start Vinni 😈
When real madrid win El clasico he won't post anything jus like when ossasuna destroy barcelona
😂🤫
😂we know 😅
You mean the game where Barcelona basically used their B or C team without injuries
@matiasescobar8730 saying barca gotta start every game with the same 11 to win? Everybody in football has injuries and Everybody have to rotate
3 clear opportunities Celta missed, easily could've walked away with a tie

Madrid won today cuz Celta didnt score there chances.Thats football but it clear that they arent fluid as a team like last season
Barcelona will beat them very bad. Barcelona are different, mentally are different

What with the title bro
what happen?
Dude just started yapping from here 5:40
Dude was just yapping from the beginning. He’s talking about Rodrygo doesn’t deserve to be benched. When he’s been out of form for a min. Jude isn’t even out of form lmao he’s literally being a box to box cm winning the ball back for Real Madrid. Rodrygo will start then cama gets benched n he’ll come on here n bitch about “Madrid don’t have stability the 3 forwards don’t defend” it’s like he doesn’t even watch the games.
Is it just me or is he full of shi and lies about how long he’s been watching ball cause most of the time he says some ridiculous things
