The video criticizes the lack of decision and his lack of offensive effort without the ball.

I think it's because of Mbappe's goalscoring instinct. During the whole action he only thought about how he could score a goal himself.He was waiting for Vini to pass to the left so he could receive a cross and score.You don't score so many goals without having a great goalscoring instinct (32 goals in 35 matches is incredible).

But the problem is that he didn't think for a second that he wasn't the other 4 options during the counterattack: If he had made a call to the left it could have created space for the player on the right If he made a call to the right it would have created space for the player on the left If he makes a call at the start of the action (vini seemed to be waiting for that) he could have been served in depth Or even Vini could have had plenty of space if the defenders misunderstood each other during Mbappe's deep run.

I guess he thinks like that because he was often the only serious attacking option at PSG (Neymar was very often injured and Messi scored 7 goals during his first season at PSG) It would be good for the team if he made more offensive effort without the ball, I mean vini's goal is almost lucky (his luck = talent)

And a question for the moderators: is it forbidden to make posts to talk about tactics outside of live matches? I mean one of my posts was deleted for no reason even though I just talked about tactics and was respectful/didn't insult anyone/no swear words/nothing +18

If it's forbidden for you, it would be cool to remove the ban, We always get better football analyses when we're not in the emotion of the live match.

Hi Madridistas!! I’m going to Madrid on September 20th to watch the game on the 21st. I also want to do a tour of the stadium, so I’m thinking what date to go. I’m arriving late on the 20th so that’s not an option. Is it better to go on the 21st early (matchday) or a day after? I’d like to see the grass on the pitch so I’m not sure when it’s on, do they remove it a day after the match, is there a lot of work on the dates around the matchdays. What are your suggestions? Any other tips? Thanks!!!

I am thinking about getting a tattoo and i thought to have a real madrid tattoo give me some small minimal tattoos suggestions which are unique i need atleast 300 words soo i am just gonna paste a chatgpt coded para for rest of the words

First post here so be nice lol.

Yo Madridistas, I’ve been thinking about getting my first tattoo and honestly the only thing that feels right for me is something related to Real Madrid. I don’t really want to risk a design I’ll regret later, and since this club has been a huge part of my life, it feels like the safest choice.

I don’t want a big detailed crest or anything too flashy — more like minimal black ink, something simple but meaningful. I’ve been playing around with a few ideas: • Just a crown outline, inspired by the one on the badge 👑 • The founding year in Roman numerals (MCMII) • A small football with a crown above it • “RM” in a clean font, maybe with a crown on top

The thing I like about these is they don’t scream “football tattoo” to everyone. Like, if someone doesn’t know, it just looks like a crown or some numbers. But for me, it will always be about Madrid — history, greatness, loyalty, and the club’s mentality of never giving up.

Placement-wise, I’m leaning toward inside forearm, wrist, or back of the arm near the elbow. Basically somewhere that’s not too loud but still visible when I want it to be.

I’m curious what you guys think. If you had to pick one of these designs, which would you say has the most long-term value? Has anyone here already gotten a Real Madrid tattoo? If yes, do you still love it or does it feel different with time?

Would love to see pics if anyone wants to share too. Just trying to make sure I lock in something I’ll be proud of forever

The lyrics paint a picture of a forced departure. Clearly he’s still harboring some hard feelings against Florentino (and the club).

Good first time video and he’s clearly put Madrid above anything else or he’s just using the popularity of the club for more views.

⚪🎭 Madrid skim past Mallorca 2–1 in a game of fine margins!

Arda and Vini struck in quick succession to seize control, while Mbappé’s threat was constant, even if the flag denied him twice. Carreras kept the lead alive with a jaw-dropping goal-line clearance, and Tchouaméni quietly dictated midfield rhythm. Xabi’s plan worked early, though a shaky set-piece showed there’s still work to do. Cooling breaks turned sparks into goals, and the bench added energy when needed.

A win earned, lessons noted, and sparks of brilliance all around.

We’ve broken down every performance, player by player.

Vini reached 100G/A for Madrid, who's next?

Don’t get me wrong I like to see Valverde in the starting 11. However someone has to be benched in the midfield when Bellingham returns from recovery.

Let’s leave out the left and right flanks, between Arda, Tchou , and Valverde, who has to give way for Bellingham??

It’s def not Tchouameni, right? We need him in that CDM.

I liked Arda in the last game for sure but he was just playing that attacking midfield Jude plays. However he brings a LITTLE more creativity and pass accuracy than Bellingham.

Valverde on the other hand plays as a holding midfielder and a box-to-box, both of these roles Bellingham excels at.

At the cwc there were some instances of Jude and Arda bickering, they both like to be involved in the game. So maybe they would sub for each other? Maybe a vini-rodrygo situation?but come on it’s Bellingham lmao he’s not subbing on for anyone but then again Xabi has shown no one is bigger than the program. Idk lmk what you guys think would happen.
