OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[cs02132]

Still can’t believe Arteta had 65m to spend and he chose ******* Havertz

I’ve defended Arteta because of where the team was when he came in and there was progress year after year but it’s getting spooky I can’t lie

 

[rolaholic]

Proper no.9

[sonoftony]

Elanga sealed it for Forrest

 

[rolaholic]

Zzz zzzzzzzz

Doing too much again smh. Just focus and kick ball

Need Kroenke to go ahead and realize some future value of Wal Mart stock and give us 100M for Gyokeres or Osimhen. Get us a proper striker that isn't neutralized by a single ounce of physicality.

When you really think about it as far as strikers go, havertz isn’t in the top 10.
Arteta needs to rethink his philosophy. Even simeone has changed up. Someone like Oshimen solves all these problems though.

Wow Rayo...

 

[rolaholic]

Whew golazo from Valverde out of nowhere to get them back in it before HT

 

[jape]

Rayo at home is always tough. For some reason they have the smallest pitch ever that makes for some crazy football.

 

[rolaholic]

Jude back in scoring form, ties it up with the header before the HT whistle

 

[flyeed]

Watching LV…

 

[rolaholic]

Actually insane how young he still is

 

[flyeed]

Glad to see Jude back to his old position these past few weeks. Dude is a physical force even at his age.

 

[fluid hips]

Guess I'll watch the Madrid game

[rolaholic]

Oh my Rodrygo

Great strike even if theres a deflection

 

[fluid hips]

 

[rolaholic]

What a match in Rayo, they tie it up at 3

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Madrid need to do United a favor and let Rodrygo come lock down the LW for $80m this summer

 

[flyeed]

Not sure why Jude was taken out of his box crashing role in the final third of the match. There were times he was sending crosses from the wing to Rodrygo and Vini….

Also I lowkey think Vini might have pulled a Maicon and got carded on purpose to have a longer Christmas break

Either way props to Rayo.

Carlo really needs to start thinking about trying Asencio at RB.

 

[fluid hips]

Vini is not doing himself any favors by throwing tantrums.

Ref would've given that clear penalty in the box towards the end had he not had a fit and gotten that yellow just before

Asencio called Carlo a Canneloni or something in training cause there is no excuse for Lucas Vazquez to still be in our starting line up.

What a way to throw 2 points away. Oh well, we haven’t won at Vallecas since 2016.
