First 80 minutes were scrappy as feck.

It was definitely very cagey alright. No harm in that though.

You don't have to like it but you have to admire it's effectiveness, it's won them la Liga and got them within 2 minutes of winning the CL

I can see Real going on to win it now though, Atleti put a lot into that 90 minutes

Cowardly Atletico got exactly what they deserved. Lunacy to just let Real come at you for fifteen minutes and hope they keep fluffing chances.

Penalty shoot out; Ronaldo to miss.

Ronaldo to put himself down for the 5th penalty,
He won't get to take it, Athletico to have it won by then

TheTownie

Bales got nothing left at this stage.

Legwinski

Bale will come good.

Talib Fiasco

Atletico need to get Diego on the pitch

Edit: Wait all subs used up?

no more subs.

Chucky the tree

Looked like a painful twist to Juanfran ankle. Houghton as usual completely missed it.

Mars Bar

Ronaldo is so clearly not fit. He's got cramp and he's done **** all the whole game.

Bleating Lamb

Game opening up a lot...should benefit Real...Athletico have been superbly disciplined apart from last bloody corner.

Starting Costa could cost them dearly now.

Mars Bar

Bale isn't even getting the rub of the green

Just on Ramos, never understood people not rating him. Total nutter but a very good player.

Bleating Lamb

Isco has been the difference for Real

Rayne Wooney

Ronaldo not fit but still better than their other options

He will want to stay on in case of penalties

Bale not fit either but missing all of those chances is inexcusable

Too Tough To Die

Sort of typical of him in such big games though. If he gets on the end of a chance he'll finish it but he'll do fukk all else.

One word that can never be used to describe this Atleti team.

Ya that horse placenta def wasn't worth it now. Played 10mins and you have to use a sub. They could do with those fresh legs around now

Which is pretty much the definition of the second leg of a world cup qualifier knock out game...

Johnny Utah

Lol, yer man on the Atletico bench was playing with his balls there!

bmcc10

Has to be a better corner than that

Cienciano

Massive dive from Ronaldo there

GavRedKing

What is Simeone upto?

Yeah, as if it pulls even a tenth of the numbers in terms of viewership that this game does.

Doesn't send confidence to the players doing that if you ask me, will make them more nervous.

Simeone would make a terrific mob boss in a spanish crime drama. He has that look.

syngindub

Simeone is a bit of a mad hatter

Trying to get his players away from the ref, let himself take the flak

Oh great, the "Ronaldo doesn't do it in the big games" brigade are out again. :rolleyes:

What does viewership have to do with anything? As far as pressure goes, it's about as high as it gets. The exact equivalent of Irelands game V France. Massive stakes, massive pressure.

Hes done f**k all but he can still win this game.

If Real lose it Bale will take most of the flak for his missed chances more than Ronaldo will for not playing well......so far anyway.

Bale get off!

syngindub

modric has been pretty bad also

Mars Bar

Pity Simeone couldn't sub himself on. That was some sprint!

Chagan

Athletico have absolutely nothing left

5starpool

So many of their legs are just gone at this stage.

DDC1990

That's the best thing Ronaldo has done all night.

Good tracking back.

EDIT: Bale is the hero.

Goddamn.

Professey Chin

Finally Bale!!!

Oh absolutely, he's done very little, but he's clearly not fit. Bale probably would take more of the blame alright, but he's had a few good chances, even an unfit Ronaldo might have taken one of them I think.

5starpool

Ah no. Boo.
