Real Madrid 4 - Roma 2

[Craig]

How bad are Roma going at the moment, it is one crisis after another for Roma.

Two games, two losses for Roma are now likely to come 3rd and play in the UEFA Cup, or come last and that is the end of their European season.

Real Madrid for me are a defensive midfielder short, and it is clear that they are missing Claude Makelele or rue not getting Patrick Vieira. Their defense is still not up to it.

It was a great comeback by Real because in the first 35 minutes they were played off the park by Roma, but Roma were not able to put them away.

I said this game would be a very good game, and I was correct

What about the penalty against Roma?? Pathetic!!

 

[weasel]

The penalty was a joke, but after Roma's second goal Real Madrid totally dominated the match. They may have been struggling to score goals lately, but when given that much attacking possession a team full of that much class is always going to pry open the floodgates eventually. For mine, the final result looked likely by halftime

Not just the penalty, that foul throw was also a disgrace.

If the game was at the Olimpico the referee would not have even thought about giving a penalty.

Roma were good on the counterattack in the first half but their second half was very poor. Still, we are on the improve and I'm expecting a win this weekend against the Perdenti.

We did conceed 4 goals, but strangely, I thought our defence was pretty good. It was our midfield that was poor.

If the ball bounces before going over the touchline it can't be given as a foul throw.

Was Montella injured again Hybrid? Otherwise I was surprised he didn't go on.

But De Rossi looks class.

Montella was not used for tactical reasons, but he refused to go on when called as he was angry about not starting and will be fined. Very dissapointing.

De Rossi has always been a hot prospect and he proved it again. He's something special.
