Yes, we are very consistent in paying referees. Sadly we couldn't pay referees during our two Atletico games. But yeah, let's go, let's win two titles this year and bring some superstars this summer! Hala Madrid!

He's behind Pep and Ferguson simply because of League Titles and other achievements outside the Champions league...like before Real Madrid he was almost becoming irrelevant at Napoli and Everton and at Bayern he couldn't do nada he needs Super Stars.

[@bear_eater254]

If Lunin doesn't start in the Champions league Final Real Madrid deserve to lose.

[@user-Ic7hx7wd9c]

To be honest, if you ask whether the relegation system helps profits and popularity, 99% of people would say Rather, the owner does not invest more in the team for fear of being relegated. There is a risk. And relegation is unfavorable as it hurts the club's value and popularity. Also, the teams that are going to be relegated anyway have no motivation and nointention of winning. Defeat on purpose (e.g. Sheffield u) They gave up on the season and are being relegated.

[@manuelaparcedo417]

thinking a professional player goes out to lose on purpose like they don't get paid extra for winning is wild.

[@bhnatlasfox9066]

I mean winning is everything at the end of the day but lunin definitely deserve the final over courtois he shows he can play in big games as well

[@robcurios740]

Deserve to play and being the better GK are two different things.

[@bear_eater254]

​@@robcurios740He's not been available for almost the whole season Goalkeepers are not outfield players who can return from long injuries as if nothing happened we saw how Ter Stegen struggled with his shoulder injury..and i don't really see the gap in class between the two currently.

[@MrMerildoll]

@@robcurios740 Being fit at training and being ready for a CL final are also two different things. Courtois has been back for a very short time, I don't think he is ready to play literally the most important game of the season. You also have to think about the group, how other players will perceive it if they see you can deliver and bring your team to a CL final and then get the final taken away from you. Yes, for a guy who is better on paper, but who just came back from injury and has to prove he is back at his best level to perform in important games. This could also have disastrous consequences on Lunin's spirit and his future performances with Real Madrid (he could lose confidence or also he could leave out of resentment), so you could lose a very good keeper - who is the future of the club as Courtois is aging - with no guarantee that Courtois can perform at his expected level. Lots of things to ponder and I don't know what's happening in training but I think going with Lunin would not only be the fair decision but also a better sport decision for the coach, the team and ultimately the club.

Even if Real lose Against Dortmund, i will still choose lunin over Courtois. Courtois may be a better goalkeeper, lunin earned his spot at the final, he was there the whole campaign. 🫡🫡🫡

[@silverophelian877]

Gab and Jules. Correct me if I'm wrong but if Madrid win the UCL they get an automatic spot to the next one so their league champion spot would revert to Athletic Bilbao. Same for Frankfurt or Hoffenheim in Germany. Leverkusen would automatically make the UCL if they win Europa giving their spot to the next club down. I read this online. Obviously it could be unreliable but seems true

Congrats on winning the farmers league trophy! I hear it comes with a free tractor for each player gets a handful of magic beans! Honestly...who cares. One trick pony madrid completely unchallenged in that league which allows them to prioritize the UCL year in year out. No pressure to win the farmers league allows you to rest, rotate and prioritize the UCL. It's pathetic, sad and boring. Nobody watches that league. Madrid doesn't develop their players into the first team. They don't grow football globally. They don't even try to address the mass racism within their own league. Their plastic fan base comes from third world countries who can't even afford to buy a jersey from their website. . The Madrid fans are so delusion they simply cannot the big picture of their failures b/c all they can see "14UCL" as if that's the measurement of success. They can't even win their league back to back with a watered down Barca. And yet Perez wants to try to sell the world on the super league. Hard pass.

[@ghostc1pher]

Let's take a look at Madrid's performance in the two competitions, starting at the beginning of the first UCL trophy in the modern era. 2014: 3rd in La Liga, won UCL 2015: 2nd in La Liga, KO in semi-finals 2016: 2nd in La Liga, won UCL 2017: Won La Liga and UCL 2018: 3rd in La Liga, won UCL 2019: 3rd in La Liga, KO in R16 2020: Won La Liga, KO in R16 2021: 2nd in La Liga, KO in semi-finals 2022: Won La Liga and UCL 2023: 2nd in La Liga, KO in semi-finals. There are only two seasons in the last 9 years that Real Madrid won both La Liga and UCL. In that same time they have won La Liga a total of THREE times.
