Real Madrid is not the same without Cristiano.The fact that they couldn’t beat Athletic Bilbao is a good indicator of that.The forwarders like Benzema and Bale are not performing like they did when Cristiano was playing.I think that Hazard needs a bit more time to feel comfortable with the way Real plays and then we will see a new Real Madrid.

Eden Hazard might need more adaptation to Real Madrid because his game was very different at the EPL when Hazard at Chelsea played better at Chelsea than at Real Madrid.
In my opinion, only Benzema is still contributing to the present despite the absence of Ronaldo's residence, and for Gareth Bale he is still unsure.

Of course Real is not the same without Cristiano, no club in the world can instantly find replacement for player like him.

Regarding Benzema I actually think that he is playing maybe the best football of his career. For me he is the one (maybe only one) who stepped up and filled part of the gap left by Cristiano shadow.

Bale is a different story, that guy obviously has some deeper issues with Real. He didn't make any effort to adjust to his new club and he is now in Real for about 6 years (maybe, didn't check). Still doesn't speak a word of Spanish. I just don't get that kind of not caring about your fellow players and supporters. That is not just being lazy to learn new language that is actively protesting to learn it. Hell, after few weeks in some county I already start speaking at least few simple sentences.

Real Madrid and Chelsea play football in different styles. When I saw Hazard playing at Chelsea he played a little slow and this was in line with Chelsea's playing patterns. But at Real Madrid he tried to play a little faster, this made him a little overwhelmed. Some of the games that Madrid played I noticed Hazard played not the way he played before.

Real Madrid have drawn in the last 3 matches, indeed Benzema provides a good performance for Real Madrid because it continues to look brilliant and score goals.
Luca Jovic may not be able to rely on it anymore so it will be loaned out to other clubs but I haven't seen the news report either.

We still lack that Lethal firepower which has been compounded by Hazard's absence... Anyway the for the last match against Athletic Club, we were so unlucky. We hit the woodwork 3 times where the Keeper was completely beaten so i would call it an unlucky night.

Luca Jovic is a try of player who needs constant ball deliveries in the box from the wings. Only Marcelo can do that. Mendy, Vinicius, Rodrigo are not very good ball crossers from the wings. I think he will end up leaving like Moratta if things don't change after some time.

Is true that Vidal made a legal move vs Barca for a missing payment?

He is doing everything to leave the club, lol.

There is lot of rumours about Vidal moving to Inter and these news is right. And it would be sad, because he is great player from bench andhe is a bit underrated IMO. It's sad to see how Barca board is behaving with their players.
In other news, C. Alena sent on loan to Real Betis. It probably means that Rakitic won't be sold on winter transfer window.

Doesn't matter how "well" real Madrid played, this is a club that is more expensive than any other team maybe except Barça and they spent over 300 million euros just for transfers this summer, 300 million euro!! If it was athletic "Madrid" instead of Bilbao I kinda would have understand since that is the third best team in the league by valuation but Bilbao worth 239 million dollars total, less than what Madrid spent on this summer.

This is third tie in a row for Madrid and Barcelona having 2 ties in 3 games and one win, they are still leading with 2 points and if Madrid doesn't get it together, Barça will not let this championship go that easily. These are two huge giants facing each other, two teams with combine worth of 2 billion dollars, having combined for 8 points in 6 games between them is not acceptable to any fan out there.

Well, money isn't always the most important factor. If everything would just about it, we wouldn't see Barca and Real dropping points against mediacore teams and would end each season with +100 points collected. And Athletic is decent team, so draw against them is somehwat understandable. It's not bottom table team like Leganes or Mallorca.

Real is actually playing good football at the moment and should have had more than 2 points from last 2 games. They were a better team in classico and much better then Bilbao. The luck wasn't on their side but it will all even out during the season.

Granted they have to buy another striker or give more chances to Jovic and raise his form. If Benzema got injured they would have serious problems.

Slowly they are starting to escape from the shadow of Ronaldo.I see a good striker now not much available. Most are still at home with their respective clubs. So far I have never seen a game from Jovic. Has he been sent down for more than 45 minutes in La Liga this season? He was bought at a very high price but only filled the Real Madrid bench.

Real Madrid is indeed performing very well, and it’s all because of Benzema who’s goals have helped them remain in the title race. @akmal1984 I too haven’t seen Jovic play much, and according to various news reports he’ll be loaned out in the January transfer window.

@coinlocket$ this news seems legit because many sites are reporting about it, and I personally feel it’s a pressure technique from Vidal’s agent to compel Barcelona into selling him.

^ But looking at the match summary... Real had three shots that hit woodwork. I didn't watch it but they got 20 shots away with 8 shots on target. It's just prolly one of those days you know... Unlucky.

a good goal scorer like Mbappe would have been more preferable than hazard

Isn't Hazard got an injury? Even if they have Mbappe it won't mean anything if he can't play due to injury.

Needless to say, they need to win. At least they should win next time when they face Barca and hope Barca struggle in 5 or 4 matches.

I think that Real Madrid did a big mistake yesterday night at Santiago Bernabeu.I think that this can be a game changer for Barcelona now,Real just nullified the draw they got at Camp Nou and it can even mean the losing of the title for Real because we all know there are only two teams in La Liga that win the title.

Still a long way to go, there could still be plenty of twists & turns but Barcelona are definitely favourites. I would be very surprised to see Real win the title.

I doubt it if Real Madrid can win the title this season, they lack the strikers to give them the winning week in week out, I think they miss Ronaldo, a good goal scorer like Mbappe would have been more preferable than hazard

Yeah a draw might be boring for a lot of fans but it's better than losing at their home and I think the fans watching would prefer a draw rather than that. After watching the game I could say that Madrid really wasted three good chances of scoring a goal the first one was a clear shot from Benzema but he couldn't convert it to a goal, the second one was the header from Militao that was only off by a few inches, and the last one was another header from Jovic. These are really good chances but either one of them has converted it to a goal so it is a very disappointing thing to see for a fan.

Being held to a draw at home is very embarrassing and it should be won in this match so as not to be left behind by Barcelona, in my opinion this is less solid than its players and cannot produce goals.
A bad bet on Real Madrid's draw is also in the EPL league. Big teams lose to Manchester United.

Real totally deserves that.. They had their chances to be ahead of Barcelona and sit on the top of the league some matches ago but they again resulted in a draw.
Now Barcelona is building a point difference that is going to be hard for Real to cover it...
