Real Madrid 3-4 Schalke
DEFENSE:
What is Real Madrid defence doing,seriously?! I mean its Ok,it's not the first time Ramos has been injured but playing like this is unacceptable.Pepe was the only good defender among the back four of Madrid. Conceding 4 against Schalke is not acceptable and that too at the Santiago Bernabeu! Casillas was good in the last few minutes but he is getting so poor with his handling and it's going to cost us big time some day.Its not the first time Casillas has done such mistake,he had done such mistake against Atletico (1st goal) too. Casillas needs to improve his handling.
MIDFIELD:
Real Madrid's midfield consisted of Khedira Kroos and Isco tonight,Kroos didn't contribute much to the defense because if he had been booked tonight, he would have been suspended for quarter final first leg.Isco played well as usual.Khedira was a weak link in our midfield tonight,he wasn't good defensively although he was the basic CDM,he was slow and couldn't stop Schalke's attackers to run at our defense and that's the basic reason of us conceding 4 against Scahlke.
ATTACK:
Bale was poor tonight.His crosses have gone from bad to worse and he is under pressure,his instincts have been poor due to extreme pressure, we as RMD fans should support him.Benzema scored a superb goal after wrapping up Schalke's defense.I saw a glimpse of Lyon's Benzema in that goal. But RONALDO saved the day for us.Two headers of supreme quality right after 5 mins each of Schalke's goals didn't let Real Madrid's hopes of reaching the Quarter Finals die and kept the morale up.
Real Madrid isn't playing upto its potential and if they kept on playing like this then this season won't be a good one.But Modric is back and he showed us how well he can play in the centre of the pitch.
