this was just a poor game. No way should Real be sharing points at home with Rayo. Vini needs to forget the sideshow of arguing every minute with refs and opposing players and fans.

I agree with most points. It all came down to 2 defensive laps that we haven't seen since October,and in a league that is overshadowed by Barcelona and real Madrid we don't give enough credit to a team like celta who was not afraid to sit and defend all game but to also play football when the opportunity arised. I feel like zidane wants those front 3 to be his go to front 3 benzema did great in every aspect except for taking his chance to score. Bale was not good. If Bale comes out and has a match this game is won by 2 or more goals especially if our defence has been on point they way they been playing for most part of the season. Besides Marcelo startingover mendy I believe this would be zidanes go to and most optimal lineup but he hasn't had a chance to get them together. The Subs I believe were fine mendy comes in Marcelo moves into a lm position to now form 4 through the middle and benzema and vinicius sit as the top 2 benzema can be a false nine and we can use vinicius pace to br
