It's official - Julen Lopetegui isn't Real Madrid manager anymore. Santiago Solari (reserve team coach) will replace him temporarry. It seems that Real still didn't reached agreement with Conte. There was some speculations in press that he want longer contract, he don't agree to sign contract just till the end of this season.

After the devastating match for Real Madrid, Lopetegui is going to be sacked. This had to happen, the loss just helped them finalize the administration decision. Still, there is loads of time to make the league table look good for them. Barcelona even being without Messi, played like a king of this season, Suarez might have earned some fans after tomorrow.
We are talking about how horrible real Madrid has been and all and forgetting they are behind only 4 points from Barcelona and missing just 1 win , Barcelona has 5 wins and real Madrid has 4. 4 points is not that much of a big difference and could definitely close up in near future, I am not saying real Madrid will pass Barcelona but it is not that much of a big margin.
Also playing under 2 is really risky in this game because Barcelona has scored 23 goals and conceded 11 in just 9 games and real Madrid scored 13 and conceded 9 so both teams are playing with more than 1 goal conceded and definitely much higher than 1 goal scored. It means there is a huge chance both teams score more than 1 goals. I would definitely suggest there would be more than 2+ goals instead, just the opposite which means there will be plenty of goals to watch, without Messi it might be troublesome for Barcelona but they are still capable of scoring on this real Madrid that won only 1 of their last 5.

Hazard was/is the suitable Ronaldo replacement. I don’t know why Real didn’t take the plunge and bid big for him. They’re really suffering with no Ronaldo, it’s like somebody tore the spine out of them.
I think that at this point it is not possible to replace a player like Ronaldo and a reason is simple, there is no such player on football market. Now we can see that he was the most important player of RM, a man who is certainly responsible for many successes of the club in the past few years. RM will have to make a complete reconstruction of the team and bring some big name to lead that team, and this is not something that can be done overnight.
This season will be very difficult for RM, maybe they will start to play better after a winter break - but for now things do not look good for them.
Yeah, it's impossible to find equal replacement for Ronaldo. But my point that Real didn't bought anything in summer. I don't know why Perez didn't opened his wallet. It's obvious that they need not only replacement for Ronaldo, but also improve other positions. As others said, Benzema is a joke, Modric, Varane are in terrible form after World Cup, Kroos and Bale aren't playing as they should, Marcelo having problems with injuries. I'm not sure that Real can save this season, it's difficult to buy something in Winter. But after season they will need to rebuild squad and it requires serious investments. Press saying that Conte will replace Lopetegui in next day' let's see how he will improve Real situation. This season will be very difficult for RM, maybe they will start to play better after a winter break - but for now things do not look good for them.
5:1 without Messi! Wow, incredible. Suarez wasn't in best shape recently, but finally he turned beast mode on.
Real weren't that bad, especially in first part of second half, but they wasted chances to score. But on last 15 minutes they were literally demolished.
I think now it's only matter of time when we will see press release that Lopetegui was sacked. But I don't think he is main person to blame for bad results. I think it's mainly Florentino fault. Not only because he didn't bought replacement for Ronaldo. Real need more fresh blood in their squad. You can't win everything playing with same squad few years in the row.
@LFC_Bitcoin, your table isn't accurate, Real is in 9th place now

lol and I'm the one who thought that we will be watching a boring classico with few goals since Messi and Ronaldo aren't there , I actually went for under 3.25 goals 
enjoyed the game but didn't expect it to be like this , was expecting a boring low score match and max I expected was 4 goals
not sure why Madrid is holding benzema when he is literally the worst striker I find among other strikers with top league , like seriously there are at least 5 better strikers in Saudi league that can be bought with few millys
a team like Real Madrid with a striker like Benzema is a complete joke , Bale may get better but no way for Benzema
the absence for CR made a whole difference , but glad to see Barcelona playing like this without Messi

If Lopetegui doesn't get sacked this week, I'm gonna lose all the respect I have towards Florentino & co. That was a shitty performance, Benzema needs to go, Bale needs to be sold, same with Varane if he continues being absolute shit on the pitch, Marcelo needs a replacement, he's way past his prime and gets injured all the time.
Overall, not much to say about the match, we got outclassed, simple as that, but what hurts the most isn't the 5-1 (I already experienced such a score against Barcelona in 2010), is the fact that we're in the mid table, that's just pathetic.

Hey man, I know you’re hurting right now but you guys have had it damn good for a long, long time. Football goes in phases, look at Man Utd after Fergie. Real will probably have a period of mediocrity for a while before they go again. It happens, as a big LFC fan I would 100% take what’s happening to you guys for a season or two if I could have what you had the last 3 seasons.
The golden era has come to an end but it will come again. Real are too big to stay like this for long.
You're right, Man Utd, Milan, Bayern, Liverpool, they all had their golden era, but I honestly thought our run was gonna last a bit more, but I guess you can't always be on top. I hope our period to rebuild the club doesn't last as long as let's say Man Utd, I'm so used to being on top that it'll be hella weird and frustrating to see my club go through a phase like that but if things keep going south, we can always sack Floretino and start afresh (literally, we, the RM fans, can go to the Santiago Bernabeu and ask for the resignation of Floretino Perez, it happened before, it can happen again.)Lopetegui will lost his job tonight even . Conte will replace him in Monday i guess
Hard task for Conte
Bale is playing nothing Benzema is simply old
Defense is tragic 5th game lost in last seven
I agree Zidane knew what is going on in Real so he left club
Ronaldo the same he is much better in Juve less selfish playing for team
Conte will have to build new Real on ashes of past glory
It is going fast in modern sport

My table says 9th, doesn’t it? I just screenshotted it from this site livescore.
I turned the game off at 4-1. Only just checked and it was 5-1 lol

It really shows that Whether Christiano Ronaldo is their in the team with making goal or not but they were winning and now without him Real Madrid are nothing but lower grade team. Barcelona showed today that they are still strong without Messi.
Today both team showed their weakness and strength without their main players.

Lol Barca 4-1 Real
Real are fucking rubbish this season, I just wish they were this bad in Kiev in May
We got them at the final peak of their powers, now they are on the downward spiral to mediocrity.
Like I said previously - NO RONALDO — NO PARTY

Barcelona winning 1-0 with a great Phil Coutinho goal. Could this possibly be ANOTHER loss cor Real. I’m sorry but they are really stinking the place out this season
watching it to JUST PITY FOR OUR BELGIUM KEEPER
BUT BARCA IS CRUSHING

Anyone else think El Classico will be 0-0 this game? Under 2 goals looks quite a nice bet to make, since we don't have the main goalscorers of last few seasons who are normally fired up to win. I still think Barcelona will win this, but it all depends on how the first half goes. If they both play cautious, which I think will happen, and half time is 0-0, then we maybe get 1 Luiz Suarez goal at the end or just nothing. Espanyol will be of course hoping Barcelona lose, and I admit it would be nice to see a new team lead the Spanish league!
I don't believe that it can be 0:0 game. Yeah, Real struggling to score goals this season, while Barca scored at least one goal in all matches this season. But at the same time, Barca conceding goals very often this season - Umtiti is injured and wont play today, while Pique is in terrible shape this season and he are making too many mistakes in defence. But it's likely that this El Clasico will be a not high scoring match. Jump to:
