Post Match Reaction - Round 6

[ChrisS]

Schalke 2 - 2 Real Madrid

At this point we'll take any points we can get. I was not sure how going down to ten men would effect Madrid, sometimes it gives the squad a boost so that was a concern. Our two best players Berge and Castellanos kept us in it with the former having his best match in blue. Correa was the late hero. Played well overall, the final minutes are always a little nervy once we start to get tired legs.

Good Game Steve.

Barcelona 3 Lazio 1

Drum and his boys have started their league campaign well so much so that they hadn't even conceded a goal in their opening 5 fixtures so we knew it was going to be tough.

Expected them to counter attack so mixed things up and went with a long ball approach to start with and it got us in front. I think the remaining 75 mins was P v C but thankfully we performed strongly and were able to come away with a very good win - Saint_Maximin with another couple of goals to continue his excellent recent form.

Next week looks brutal for us starting with a trip to the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday. We've performed well in the Clásico recently but this really is as tough a fixture as there is on the schedule in my opinion. Rivals or not they play with a real positive attitude and swagger and they are reigning champions for a reason.

Anyway - good game Keith, see you in the return pal.

always a pleasure buddy
