  1. Nacho with another prime example of why he’s rightfully 4th in the pecking order. Can’t believe people were saying he’s better than Alaba.

  2. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Nacho has proved he isn’t dependable this season. Once can be a brainfart, twice is starting to become a habit. We’d be stupid not to bring a CB or 2 in the winter transfer window.

    I swear if the board throws this LaLiga away because “we don’t believe in winter transfer windows”…

  3. I’ll take the 3 points & hope Nacho stops doing stupid things & hopefully Rodrygo is ok. This was an ugly match.

  4. Lord Vasquez usually doesn’t interfere since usually Bellingham takes care of it.

    But today when humans couldn’t accomplish the task, lord stepped up.

  5. Honestly it’d be stupid not to renew Ancelotti after what he has done this season. He has earned it.

  6. 2 silly red cards from Nacho this season 😕but thankfully the generation superstar Lord Goatquez saved the day🙌🏾

  7. So what was that bellingham yellow card thing? I rewatched the game and the score bar said that the yellow was for bellingham? Are we negreira boys bow or whta? 💀

  10. Biggest win of the season alongside Barça and in hindsight, Girona

    Kroos with a last minute Sweden moment after shooting every set piece out of bounds the entire game

    We need to pray Rodrygo is fine, didn’t look good

    Nacho’s first red card was unacceptable, this one was unforgivable, absolute joke – he’ll get two or three matches again, we NEED to sign a CB now, no other option

  11. Unbelievable! These are the type of matches that make you win La Liga! I was shouting: “Fran, Lucas.. stay behind at the back!!” “Rüdi, Tchou.. go and attack that small box!!” Freaking Lord V comes and kaboom 💥🤣🤣🙌

  12. How was Tchouameni at CB? Maybe Alaves didn’t do enough offensively to really say?

  13. The 🦅 celebration says it all, how much that last minute banger meant to us

  15. The Alavés manager Luis Garcia’s reaction is the reaction I’m imagining non-Madrid fans are having right now after the 🐐’s late goal.

  16. It feels like we always need to sacrifice a player to win

  17. Nacho doing his best to make me regard him as non better than a back up back up.. holy, this is the second time in this season he gets a red when the club need him the most.

  19. Our next match is 3rd of January, between then and now, headlines covering Donatello’s decision. SUPER league, and our CB decision uff so much to take in

  20. I wish we could tar and feather all the doomsayer in this thread that were calling the season over after the red card from Nacho. Those people are not madridista

  22. By the way, shout out to Alaves’ manager.

    The man went literally insane after witnessing the greatest goal scored in mankind history.

    My condolences

  23. >Those rats always find a damn way to win in the end. Unbelievable

    The irony of this comment on r/barca

  25. I just want 3 games without losing a player to injury or a red card

  28. Nacho/ Rudiger partnership isn’t great in the build up. Tchoumeni at cb isn’t a bad idea

  30. Maybe the red card is Nacho’s 4D chess master plan so that the board wakes up and realises we cannot keep going with only 2 CBs.

  32. Who needs forwards and defenders when you can have midfielder?

    – Perez

  34. People mad at Nacho when he’s clearly telling the club we need to sign a CB. He was like f**k that I’m not playing 30 matches with no sub /s

  36. People mad at Nacho when he’s clearly telling the club we need to sign a CB. He was like f**k that I’m not playing 30 matches with no sub /s

  37. Disappointed in Nacho!! just when the team needed him and he almost guaranteed a starting spot this year. I hope we buy a legit Cb not a temporary loan.
