I didn't see the match, but I heard C.R. got a red card, lol.

I saw it... Real missed on a few really good chances but Atletico's will was outta this world. I was stunned. Cristiano intentionally kicked a guy in his nose while he was falling after he was brought down. lol

I am pretty sure the players in RM, even the bench, were showing their frustration/aggression as usual towards the end.

Oh man it was ridiculous... Jose made them different Real.
There was that episode when Real's bench went bonkers but Simeone held them on his own before his players came & pushed them back like little girls. Pepe was acting up before Costa came & sent him back with a right slap. lol
Then there was another episode when they went bonkers again & wanted a penalty when the ball hit a guy in his knee...

What do you expect from RM? Not the first time.


Anyway, I also read that Mou didn't even show up for the medals. Great manager my ass, doesn't even support them during the bad times. Christiano Ronaldo didn't show up either.

I think Mou changed them too much... it is not the the Real I've seen for so many years. Raul's army would start shaking hands right after the game ended even when they were losing hard. That was the real classy Real, the fucking White Ballet... Mou's Real is good but looks like Inter Madrid or something like that.

About the medals...
Mou was sent off too lol He went bonkers for nothing & the ref sent him away in the middle of the second half.

CR should come back to ManU, success is certain there.

I think so too... he gave so much to Real but hardly got anything in return. If he came to United that would really make the difference for both parties involved.

Of course Mourinho changed them, before he came they got kicked out the Round of 16 every year, plus he help them win La Liga against Pep's Barcelona which were unbeatable at the time, plus won them their first Copa Del Rey for a long long time, Raul in his long career with Real never won that title. So yeah, Mourinho changed Real.
He had one bad season, does not make him a bad coach, I'm pretty sure Sir Alex went through some trophyless seasons!
(It's not like Mourinho went trophyless anyway, the Super Cup counts)

Mourinho's whole spell at Real is nothing to be bragging about tbh esp. considering the players he's got.
The thing is he changed their identity & made them look ridiculous at times & the whole White Ballet's class is all gone.
Watching that game yesterday kinda got me carried away for a second & suddenly I thought I was watching a Leeds game, not a Real Madrid one.
Everyone knows he failed pretty bad in Madrid... as a matter a fact they really had one very impressive game against Barca away & that's it all season long.
Like I said he made a good team but that's not really Real Madrid... it really looks like Inter Madrid.
I don't think someone would say Mourinho is a bad coach... just that this time he's in too big of a club & his arrogance can't help the under achieving at all. He really gotta go to a smaller club where he's gonna be a hero again.

Raul won a lot more important cups than Coppa Del Ray so what you said is kinda ridiculous... Real never bothered about this potato cup before Morunho came anyway.

Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid season worst of my career

Mourinho knows how bad this season has been for him and Real. Every club has a bad season. It's odd why people are questioning his ability. This is Mourinho we're talking about; he's one of the best managers in the world. There's a reason why he's adored by Porto fans, Chelsea fans and Inter fans.

Who would you rather manage Real? They're not getting Ancelotti. I wouldn't mind swapping Benitez for Mou.

It's obviously a horrible season but nobody has actually questioned him generally as a coach in Madrid or wherever really.
He's a great coach, arguably one of the greatest ever but he's underachieving in Real & that's what matters the most.
The thing is Real Madrid is no Porto, Chelsea or Inter so even if they won the Coppa Del Ray yesterday it wouldn't really make much difference tbh.
Y'all won't understand it 'cuz you're looking at it from a Chelsea's fan perspective but Real Madrid fans would easily see all that differently... as they do.
Having such great football players in such big club screams for a lot more than he did for the last 3 seasons. This is a fact... apart how great a coach he is in general.
There's a reason why Real fans don't like him too.

That's a fair point. I just don't see who they will get to replace him if he leaves. Ancelotti would have been an obvious appointment, but now PSG blocked their move for him, it's looks unlikely he'll move.

Well honestly & ironically I was asking myself who'd fit after him too... I mean his quality is obvious & Real at least looked solid as fuck most of the time under him so it's gonna be really hard for whoever else after him anyway. They'll obviously go for another CL specialist I guess... if they really decide to get rid of him 'cuz giving him another year might be a good option too. Him been a great coach makes this really really complicated.

A year ago today history was written. Time fucking flies man...

I remember it like it was yesterday. The hurt when Muller scored. The the euphoria when Drogba netted the equaliser. THAT penalty.

Oh wow, apparently Ancelotti will not be managing PSG next season. Has to be Real bound.
