    Kicks off at 8 on ss5.

    Two big stories, return of el nino to AM, CR7 on the bench.

    Interesting to see Real s response to the Valencia loss, hard to call. Would love to see Torres score.

    Bale was off, old Torres would've stuffed that home.

    I don't know why Pepe starts ahead of him.

    In fairness they've been defensively great even with pepe starting but there will be a time you'd imagine varane will either have to be a nailed on starter or he will want to move on. Waaaaaay too good to be on the bench.


    Game of few chances really so far, james and bale have been anonymous.

    The sheer pace of him!

    Pretty close, AM not giving any time up top and playing a high line. Can see it costing them.

    Defending like that would see Ramos fit in with stoke. :pac:

    Dubious peno given there given the last camera angle replay. Can see why it was given though.

    Garcia backing in, feels Ramos and goes down.

    Ramos shouldnt have his hands on him though gives the ref a chance to give it.

    Certainly from his angle where he wouldn't have seen Garcia with a massive chunk of Ramo's shirt. Bit of a six to one but if you defend like that you run the risk. Should be a great half hour now though.

    Ramos didn't do himself any favours with the pulling back motion, ref had to give it.

    A tasty match all the same.

    Arbeloa should be off for that challenge.

    Shocking challenge.

    They've scored so many goals from set pieces this season it's frightening!

    Think Gerry said it was something close to 60% of their goals were from set pieces.

    Better than the missus robbing it halfway through the second half!

    Hard to Real coming back into the tie, can't see Atletico giving them anything easy.

    Can't see Real coming back into this. They may score at the Bernabeu, but Atleti will as well.
