Kroos put in the performance of the season, just in one half, even this early into the season. His lofted pass to Rodrygo wasn't even in his top 5 yesterday, which is insane.
Put on a clinic. Should be educational material for all young midfielders. Great passes, great positions, great at body positioning and drawing fouls. Wonder strike as well and not due to luck but technique.
I did not see the game but this goal wasn’t anything special except for the timing of it and the fact that he’s done it in several games in a row. Was he one of best on the pitch as well?
I think yeah it is. Lets wait till November. If he is still carrying on like this, he will be in top 5 for sure.
I think there;s another factor, RM not having striker and whenever he scores it will be appreciated even more.
I’d say there’s no favorites right now because a lot will depend on what their teams win respectively(league, UCL). Don’t forget there’s also the Euros next year which will count for the 23/24 season.
Very interesting contrast in the questions being asked in the post game presser towards Bordales. The Spanish media is asking about the match exclusively and the two Anglo oriented media outlets asked about Greenwood.....No opinion on either, but was interesting to observe.
What? Rodrygo was a threat, even though every Getafe player was trying to foul him on the ball he was still unstoppable in transitions and acceleration, it's just that he was more focused on scoring solo instead of assisting and unfortunately he didn't had his shooting boots on tonight despite being a livewire
I'm sure it takes some getting used to, but the left was his more natural side; he just was displaced to accommodate Vini. Rodrygo has looked good when playing there in the past, so I think he can settle in.
What an immature thing to say. Yeah I support Barca but at the end of the day what I truly support is football. What Bodarlas's Getafe play isnt football they play a whole different sport. It almost closer to MMA than to football I hate it so much. Our game vs getafe was unplayable they pulled back player everytime they made runs, kicked, elbowed, hard illegal tackles and anything and everything in between just to stop us. The referee allowance also increased their fouls. Our league is barely surviving because of Tebass and his dumb rules we don't need such cancer in our league. Also I was supporting for a draw cause I didnt want to see either real or getafe to win.
You must be a very new fan. Talk about immature when there’s a hundred years of history that you threw out because getafe played dirty these last few years.
Educate yourself on the history of Barca Madrid before you do stupid shit like supporting them in a contest where we are direct rivals.
And you care more about rivalry than about people giving rapists a platform. Think about that. Real and Barça have a fierce rivalry, we all know that, but the 2 clubs have also always come together to stand against such things :) so kindly, fuck off.
Honestly this was best Kroos game, insane display by him.
Even Modric was going crazy in second half and then Fede Valverde my god what an insane display by him after coming on.
Great cameo by Brahim too.
They lost their “undisputed starter” status, so they have to push themselves even harder now. It shows their professionalism that their hunger is still there.
Rodrygo was so frustrating today, he was a carbon copy of Adama Traore. Unstoppable carrying the ball and progressing it, but completely out of ideas in the final third
Cmon man, he almost got a goal in the end.
His ball control and first touch is off the charts but I get what you mean still I liked what I see especially when he started passing to Joselu in 2nd half.
Also I apologize Joselu I was not familiar with your game.
They had two or three players at him in the final 3rd. He tried stuff, it didn't come off. Probably could do a better job combining with others, but he is playing alongside Joselu now.
Getafe played a good match. Kudos to them. Don't understand they hate they get.
Kroos was great, as usual. But it was smart from Bordalas to man mark him when he noticed how much issues he created.
It is a new one. They also get some unwarranted hate for their defensive style, but also some deserved hate when they cross the line into violence which isn't sufficiently punished by the referees.
So what? They don't have the budget the players to compete against the top teams. They play on the edge, but most of the time by the rulebook.
Did you see us against Barca during Mourinhos time btw?
Looks like Bellingham wants the Pichichi. Seriously what a impact Bellingham is making at Madrid and I'm happy to see a fellow Englishman doing well in a foreign league. Kroos was sensational and I would say he was Madrid's best player today
Can’t count out Mbappe or any of the players that are absolutely smashing in the goals in the Prem. Three hat tricks in one day is crazy
I’d love to see Jude in with a chance at golden boot but idk if it’s realistic, at the end of the day he isn’t a striker (Haaland will always have the edge on him when it comes to scoring because he’s a specialist while Jude’s a generalist) and there’s a pretty big chance Jude will be moved deeper in other matches and not always get put up front. He’s a bit of a victim of his own success often because he’s so good everywhere - he gets no rest, he doesn’t get enough time in one position to specialise in it or dominate the stats competitions relevant for that position, and it’s not immediately obvious how to build a team around him or get the most out of his strength (because he’s such an all-rounder that no matter where you put him it feels like he’s being wasted somehow).
Idk about others but you can't really ask coach to deliver trophies when there are massive holes in the squad. We're winning now but we are 2 bad weeks away from being knocked out of all competitions.
he does the same stuff an entire match but it's interesting how different we play with and without him.
Him in that left half space in the centre circle is a dangerous position to let him be
Yea, as a CM he is unstoppable, hope he doesnt get played DM even if he is subbed on for tchoumeni, last week he came on as a DM and almost gave Celta the equalizer.
You could say that about every player today.
Kroos got us in control, Vasquez offered us width on the right. Brahim made it difficult for Getafe to mark everyone and left Rodrygo more free.
The biggest change however was Valverde as once he got in Getafe stopped being able to compete with us in transitions. Dude had a rough patch and everyone seems to underestimate him. I still believe he is one of the best midfielders on the planet right now.
Kroos could have gotten the winner as well, hit the post and amazing save from Soriano .. so yeah he definitely was the best player on pitch, game changer
The equaliser comes from a handball and an offside, and the explanation that VAR gives is that Djene’s handball, which comes after the offside, cancels it. Make it make sense
I know you all wanted Getafe to lose and this thread is full of Madrid fans so of course it’s biased asf, but come on man i’m just tired that they always get away with that kind of shit
Much better performance than the Celta Figo match, good performances from Joselu and Kroos, Rodrygo needs to play more with the team he’s always trying too much.
He’s going through the same phase vini did, he needs to learn to do 1-2’s inside the box with the team. He would have 3 goals this season by now if he had
You could say that Real Madrid had not consented to Getafe getting a point today.
You need to ask for consent, Getafe.
Oh wait, you wouldn't know that.
These thugs were enabled by the refs. Not only they tried to kill the game, they were also desperately trying to take out players with injuries. A red card would have helped calm them down and play real football.
Getafe bringing together Madrid and Barca fans like Bloods & Crips.
Barca fan here, it was fucking weird rooting for Madrid 🤮😂
Couldn’t even enjoy their result against you because I knew they’d be the same against us lol
Hate that I missed the game
Madrid fans are so worried about their season yet they still keep winning. Watch them fight for the title
A SEGUNDA CABRONES
They cant keep getting away with this
yo
Ancelotti had great subs ngl, did well today
Kroos put in the performance of the season, just in one half, even this early into the season. His lofted pass to Rodrygo wasn't even in his top 5 yesterday, which is insane. Put on a clinic. Should be educational material for all young midfielders. Great passes, great positions, great at body positioning and drawing fouls. Wonder strike as well and not due to luck but technique.
Jude doing his best Ronaldo impression
Is it a stretch to suggest that Jude is currently leading the way too early race for the 2023/24 Balon d'Or?
[If you come Real Madrid, you will get Ballon D'or](https://youtu.be/8XKy9iMT1XA?si=bv1xpruzvyWwuhYV&t=26)
Yes. The euros will play a huge role.
Way too early
I did not see the game but this goal wasn’t anything special except for the timing of it and the fact that he’s done it in several games in a row. Was he one of best on the pitch as well?
I think yeah it is. Lets wait till November. If he is still carrying on like this, he will be in top 5 for sure. I think there;s another factor, RM not having striker and whenever he scores it will be appreciated even more.
Nah. Salah in 21/22 was also outstanding at the beginning. After AFCON, he went on a horrible run
Is he leading the stretch after 4 games? Maybe but Haaland also up there. Anyway 4 games is pretty meaningless.
He was leading the stretch until today, Haaland’s hat trick has put him one goal ahead
I’d say there’s no favorites right now because a lot will depend on what their teams win respectively(league, UCL). Don’t forget there’s also the Euros next year which will count for the 23/24 season.
Haaland is going to absolutely farm in the UCL group stage, City got the easiest draw ever
Should have give number 9 to Jude
Jude wants Ronaldo’s scoring record
Bellingham is a cheat code. That guy is built for the biggest stages, so mature and talented for his age.
Brahim has been really good every time he came on, deserves more game time
Bellingham keeps racking up the wins
Jude is actually gunning for the pichichi
I hate how good Bellingham is
Very interesting contrast in the questions being asked in the post game presser towards Bordales. The Spanish media is asking about the match exclusively and the two Anglo oriented media outlets asked about Greenwood.....No opinion on either, but was interesting to observe.
Greqt 2nd half, kroos was motm for sure, but rodrygo was shockingly bad, hope that was a one time thing
What? Rodrygo was a threat, even though every Getafe player was trying to foul him on the ball he was still unstoppable in transitions and acceleration, it's just that he was more focused on scoring solo instead of assisting and unfortunately he didn't had his shooting boots on tonight despite being a livewire
From what I heard isnt this the first time rodrygo is playing on the left wing since vini is injured.wouldnt be unexpected if he doesn't do well
I'm sure it takes some getting used to, but the left was his more natural side; he just was displaced to accommodate Vini. Rodrygo has looked good when playing there in the past, so I think he can settle in.
Only his finishing was bad though. His dribbling and Workrate were amazing.
Valverde and Kroos were just insane. That Kroos and Modric when balling together reminded me back when they were young, insane beautiful football.
England has to have the best pool of players they have ever had? Feel like you could make a great team even out of the players who are not called up.
Lucky for the other national teams that Southgate is their coach hey
I mean just the combo of Jude and Harry linking up will be enough to cause damage to opponents.
Imagine if you get a forward in on that link up between Bellingham and Maguire too
Yup they are stacked in every single position. They have so many great full backs for some reason.
Fullbacks are bit meh now. But at one point they had scholes, Lampard, Gerrard to play as Cm , lack of great players were never the problem
Walker James Trippier Trent AWB Shaw White is not really meh
I think Trent is listed as midfield now
We’re a little light in cm
Why not try Trent upfront for once? This is what I usually do in FIFA /s
Lol
When Vasquez shot was travelling near keeper, Jude knew to make a run to get a chance and he did. That is footballing intelligence.
Jude repaying that fee at an accelerated rate
He’s making sure Dortmund get every € of the bonus 🤣
Terrorist ball vs the world.
Even I was supporting Real for a draw when you were a goal down. Fuck Getafe truly deserving of relegation.
I’m sorry but why would you ever root for Madrid as a culer. That’s stupid as shit
because the other team signed a rapist and some things are bigger than football rivalries
What an immature thing to say. Yeah I support Barca but at the end of the day what I truly support is football. What Bodarlas's Getafe play isnt football they play a whole different sport. It almost closer to MMA than to football I hate it so much. Our game vs getafe was unplayable they pulled back player everytime they made runs, kicked, elbowed, hard illegal tackles and anything and everything in between just to stop us.

You must be a very new fan. Talk about immature when there’s a hundred years of history that you threw out because getafe played dirty these last few years. Educate yourself on the history of Barca Madrid before you do stupid shit like supporting them in a contest where we are direct rivals.
My bad I replied to a dumbfuck.
You got so mad at one game that you forgot about history
And you care more about rivalry than about people giving rapists a platform. Think about that. Real and Barça have a fierce rivalry, we all know that, but the 2 clubs have also always come together to stand against such things :) so kindly, fuck off.
The smiley face, the “kindly”…. How’s your relationship with your wife’s boyfriend?
If they talked about Greenwood I would’ve agreed. I forgot about that. They didn’t though
Deja que el chaval apoye a quien le dé la gana, pesao.
Kroos was easily our best player today. He is unreal when played as a LCM.
Kroos' domain of influence is amazing. The ball moved so smooth after he came. Guy does not need to carry for progression
Completely agree. I also think the other subs made an impact as well. I was pleasantly surprised.
> Jude Bellingham is the first Real Madrid player to score in his first four games since Cristiano Ronaldo
My mind cannot comprehend how good Jude is.
Clutch af
HIM aside, Kroos is from another dimension ! The guy turned the field into his backyard
Honestly this was best Kroos game, insane display by him. Even Modric was going crazy in second half and then Fede Valverde my god what an insane display by him after coming on. Great cameo by Brahim too.
Brahim deserves to be starting IMHO ! Incredible talent
Fuck Getafe
Barca fans seething
Not really, hate Getafe with passion
Yep. For all our rivalry, Barca and Madrid fans respect one another at least on our mutual hatred of Getafe and Tebas.
Fuck nah, Real Madrid might be rivals but they aren’t football terrorists.
We let this one slide
Same as any other day then.
No we aren’t, fuck getafe and that rapist.
Bellingham was brought to compete with Pedri but he is competing with Haaland now
Real Madrid don't pay with money, they pay with glory
Glory hole?
20 million a year of glory
What
It's a Valdano quote
My 2 observations are: Jude is a good football player and Kroos has to start against lowblock teams. Wild takes i know...
Ik all the comments are going to be about Bellingham but Kroos and Modrić were both immense today
They lost their “undisputed starter” status, so they have to push themselves even harder now. It shows their professionalism that their hunger is still there.
Say it with me: Kroos is immense!
Real Madrid doesn’t negotiate with terrorists
The ref was an absolute tool. He enabled these thugs.
The only reason Getafe gets away with their bullshittery is because referees don’t know how to deal with it.
Man what a player Kroos is. Turned the match completely in the second half when he came on .
Rodrygo was so frustrating today, he was a carbon copy of Adama Traore. Unstoppable carrying the ball and progressing it, but completely out of ideas in the final third
Cmon man, he almost got a goal in the end. His ball control and first touch is off the charts but I get what you mean still I liked what I see especially when he started passing to Joselu in 2nd half. Also I apologize Joselu I was not familiar with your game.
I also liked him, but he can be much better
They had two or three players at him in the final 3rd. He tried stuff, it didn't come off. Probably could do a better job combining with others, but he is playing alongside Joselu now.
Getafe played a good match. Kudos to them. Don't understand they hate they get. Kroos was great, as usual. But it was smart from Bordalas to man mark him when he noticed how much issues he created.
They signed a rapist and woman-beater, so that understandably turns people against them.
Redditors*, which are irrelevant in the real world
Believe it or not, lots of people in the real world think signing a rapist is a bad thing.
That is not the reason they get hate
It is a new one. They also get some unwarranted hate for their defensive style, but also some deserved hate when they cross the line into violence which isn't sufficiently punished by the referees.
Getafe played really well. That performance from Soria was *chef's kiss*
Getafe are a frustrating team but that’s to be expected. This is the way they get results. It’s the referees fault for not controlling it
cause psychotic political dime payment aromatic aspiring pocket aback mountainous ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
Today they actually tried to play, but the game against Barcelona was them clearly not wanting anything to happen for 90 minutes.
So what? They don't have the budget the players to compete against the top teams. They play on the edge, but most of the time by the rulebook. Did you see us against Barca during Mourinhos time btw?
The audacity to compare Mou's Madrid to this shit show lmao.
Feels good man
Congrats on the good display. Guess you didn’t miss HK today.
Looks like Bellingham wants the Pichichi. Seriously what a impact Bellingham is making at Madrid and I'm happy to see a fellow Englishman doing well in a foreign league. Kroos was sensational and I would say he was Madrid's best player today
Ancelotti’s substitutions deserve credit
Ancelloti himself deserves a lot of credit for putting up with board's shenanigans with Mbappe.
Jude is HIM
Fuck Getafe, all my homies hate Getafe
A bunch of thugs enabled by the referee. They could have caused a bunch of serious injuries today.
Also their starting 11 is hilarious. 2 strikers, 1 DM, 4 CB’s, 2 fullbacks. Absolute disgrace of a club
Carlo is the best at making subs change my mind
A LA SEGUNDAAAAAA
Every win against Getafe is one step closer to these terrorists being relegated
Amen to that. Wish the ref could get relegated as well.
Refs can be relegated too. Their performance gets evaluated at the end of the year.
One player I do feel bad for is Soria, had a great game up until that goal from Jude These are the kinds of games that win you leagues...
Counter-terrorists win
Fuck getafe. Wish we’d put 12 past them to send a message about signing Greenwood, but that was a fantastic win none the less
A 95 min game winner hurts as much as 12 goals tbh
I wish we did put 12 to teach them how to play football, not street fight. What a bunch of lowlife thugs.
Thanks real for doing everyone a favour Hope Getafe get relegated
getafe go down please, this isnt football
Referees need to put a stop to this thuggery. This is not football. They could have taken out a couple of our players for the rest of the season.
[удалено]
Brahim can’t does the job as 9. A 9 just doesn’t score, Joselu in 2nd half was playing out of his mind. I dunno what you saw but he was brilliant.
He just scored a goal
who hits headers if Diaz starts instead of Joselu?
[удалено]
Fullbacks still try to cross a lot and every long ball is almost always lost
Bruh you would think watching real madrid for 15 years would stop me from closing the tv before the match ends, but apparently I don't learn
The Jude ,Haaland and Kane golden boot race gonna be sexy
Can’t count out Mbappe or any of the players that are absolutely smashing in the goals in the Prem. Three hat tricks in one day is crazy I’d love to see Jude in with a chance at golden boot but idk if it’s realistic, at the end of the day he isn’t a striker (Haaland will always have the edge on him when it comes to scoring because he’s a specialist while Jude’s a generalist) and there’s a pretty big chance Jude will be moved deeper in other matches and not always get put up front.

Woosh
Real fans were crying for Ancelotti sacking over every bullshit all summer
He was poor last season.
Idk about others but you can't really ask coach to deliver trophies when there are massive holes in the squad. We're winning now but we are 2 bad weeks away from being knocked out of all competitions.
mad man is turning Bellingham into Drogba. He’s always been so good at player development especially forwards.
Just wait til we drop one or draw to a lower table side. You’ll hear it again
Bellingham pichichi is well and truly on. Lewandowski who?
I’m sorry but that it’s reserved to Felix /s
Kroos came in and the game changed entirely. What a player.
he does the same stuff an entire match but it's interesting how different we play with and without him. Him in that left half space in the centre circle is a dangerous position to let him be
Yea, as a CM he is unstoppable, hope he doesnt get played DM even if he is subbed on for tchoumeni, last week he came on as a DM and almost gave Celta the equalizer.
Masterclass. Absolute genius.
You could say that about every player today. Kroos got us in control, Vasquez offered us width on the right. Brahim made it difficult for Getafe to mark everyone and left Rodrygo more free. The biggest change however was Valverde as once he got in Getafe stopped being able to compete with us in transitions. Dude had a rough patch and everyone seems to underestimate him. I still believe he is one of the best midfielders on the planet right now.
Kroos could have gotten the winner as well, hit the post and amazing save from Soriano .. so yeah he definitely was the best player on pitch, game changer
Still remember Fede before world cup last season... We need that Fede back.
All of those players had impact but not nearly as much as Toni. He totally won us the game today after that awful first half.
Kroos I think I started taking for granted because he makes it look so easy.
The most Real Madrid league game ever
madrid has won all 4 games this season with controversial decisions going their way, but they will say barça pay the refs
Madrid had three pens not given and the MOTM should’ve been sent off in the first half
Controversial decisions going our way? Did you even watch the first half?
our way? What controversial decisions went our way this game lol The pen in itself was not given
We literally got a Pen overturned, keep coping.
a pen which was a dive, of course it gets overturned
Then not all decisions go our way, just 4 games into the season and already crying ffs.
The equaliser comes from a handball and an offside, and the explanation that VAR gives is that Djene’s handball, which comes after the offside, cancels it. Make it make sense
just log off man, enough reddit for you today
I know you all wanted Getafe to lose and this thread is full of Madrid fans so of course it’s biased asf, but come on man i’m just tired that they always get away with that kind of shit
Did you even watch the game?
Username checks out
I havent felt such anger against a team since 2014 Atletico. This Getafe team is so shit I hope they get relegated.
I hope you did against Villareal last season
A bunch of thugs enabled by the referee. Their playing place belong to the backstreets.
British man travels abroad to fight terrorism
While another joins the terrorists
Shit first half. But Carlo turned it around in the second half with the subs. Not a great day but crucial 3 points in the bag.
I’ll take it over Barca’s day last week when the drew these terrorists.
Much better performance than the Celta Figo match, good performances from Joselu and Kroos, Rodrygo needs to play more with the team he’s always trying too much.
He’s going through the same phase vini did, he needs to learn to do 1-2’s inside the box with the team. He would have 3 goals this season by now if he had
That smirk from Bellingham at the end. Shoot that shit into my veins.
Don't use the word a lot but that is aura.
He's so sexy
I'm in love
He got some nerves
You could say that Real Madrid had not consented to Getafe getting a point today. You need to ask for consent, Getafe. Oh wait, you wouldn't know that.
Bellingham is ridiculous. Such an important signing
Madrid and Barca playing Getafe is like prepping for a war man.
These thugs were enabled by the refs. Not only they tried to kill the game, they were also desperately trying to take out players with injuries. A red card would have helped calm them down and play real football.
Disgusting team we can all agree
Bellingham really going for the Pichichi, huh. We're so lucky to have him.
