I always thought the players were, for the most part, fairly likeable by neutrals, plus I assumed most people hated Madrid and so would back the team that has a decent record against them. Guess I was wrong though.
You flogs have been on my shit list since 2012

You know why too...

Poo will smash that shit team ronaldo fc

Won't able to handle salah, sane and firmino and there not even the best side in the epl, shows what a disaster la liga and real madrid are really
Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Casimiro, Modric won’t be able to handle Salah, Mane and Firmino? Liverpool should be more worried about trying to handle Isco, Kroos, Bale, Ronaldo and Benzema. Milner, Wijnaldum, Henderson and Oxlade wouldn’t be able to handle them and that defense? Their best defender is Van Dijk and we’ve seen enough of him to know that Ronaldo and Co would eat that defense alive.

I hope Liverpool draw Real Madrid so there can be no excuses if Liverpool get eliminated against Bayern or Roma.

The big thing is saying Real Madrid are shit because they’re 4th in La Liga. A league they gave up on to concentrate on the CL a long time ago. Don’t read too much into that, they’re CL favourites and will probably win it.

lol, the only player in that group worth worrying about is ronaldo, every other player is either cooked or ridiculously inconsistent.

Am I meant to think about what I am saying so it doesn’t bite me in the arse if Liverpool do get Real Madrid? I am confident enough that Liverpool would be absolutely no match for Real Madrid.
I was more like... Hmmm.

You have your opinions I guess. I dont fear Real Madrid in the slightest. I've even said in the previous 24 hours that I would prefer to get them or Bayern rather than Roma.

LMAO Van Dijk isn't their best defender.

The Semi Finals is a different story. Real Madrid have done enough to get to this stage of the competition. I think they’re favourites. It doesn’t mean they will win the competition but for all the experience they have, they should be scary for anyone left.

Just because their FIFA ratings are good doesn’t mean half those Real players you listed off are actually peforming well currently RPCB.
No, I suppose they’re not playing up to their standard. But it still doesn’t mean that Isco and Kroos in particular aren’t still a couple of the worlds best footballers in their position. You’d rather have them, than be against them.

LMAO Van Dijk isn't their best defender.
For his price tag you’d assume otherwise. That’s not a dig at you, just how I see it.
