We need goal scorers and we have been saying that from start of the season and i have been saying this even when Cristiano was here but you don't need world class strikers to score goals and beat these relegation battling laliga teams ffs. Barring Levante game all other defeats/draws are mainly his fault. You might say ball doesn't want to go in and goalkeeper made some good saves but that is only one game. He is not the only reason for this crisis but he has to go and only reason he is still not sacked is cause he has player' backing which won't even last for too long.

Now Lopetegui is on the verge of a possible sacking. The absence of Leo Messi for the next few weeks is a sad news to all the football fans out there, but secretly any team would be happy if they knew Leo wouldn't play against them. Leo's absence will definitely half Barcelona's usual performance. Lope should only try to take make the most out of Leo's absence, in the case he fails to pull off a win/draw, he's DONE.

THE EL CLASSICO

Theme next day's headlines would be, Madrid fails to get a point against Barca where Leo didn't play. Lope is sure on a thin ice.

Some people are saying that we have a shit forward line. I agree that our front men aren't as good as they used to be but blaming our losses on them is absolutely ridiculous. Our tactics are also shit to be honest. A front three of Bale, Benzema and Asensio is good enough to score against teams like Levante and Espanyol

Just get this straight, only Barcelona have a better forward line than ours in the league. Yet, we are 5th and might drop to the 8th position after all the matchday fixtures are played. ifyou believe that a signing will magically solve all the crises, best of luck. This squad is good enough to be at least 2nd on the table and should be easily beating teams like Levante no matter how deep they defend.

The Truth Is That Lopetegui Is An Average Manager, He Needs To Go.

Barcelona on other hand may have won yesterday, but I'm sure their fans would trade the three points to have Messi back uninjured.

Both the clubs are going through a horrible phase at the moment. It's hard to explain. It's like there's a curse set over the two clubs. Real Madrid are as bad as they've ever been, Barcelona not so great and losing their GOAT player (we lost our own GOAT a few months back) a week before the Clasico (and some tough games coming up in the next few weeks).

I hope both our clubs get out of this mess soon because Spanish football is nothing without the two Capital and Catalan giants

•El-classico Without MESSI & CRISTIANO.

This is a Clasico which is going to decide a lot of things for either clubs! Barca without Messi? Madrid without Ronaldo? I bet none of you would've even dreamt your club playing without their names in the starting lineup. The standards, the levels, the contribution and above all, the desire with which they walk out to the pitch week in and out is something which is not going to be witnessed at least in the near future!

A huge test for both Barca and Madrid. Can they win without star men? Are the respective clubs building a perfect team for the future to cope without them? Next week is a small but a classic example of how this decorated fixture is bound to get common in a span of 5 years. It's also a testament to the clubs' plans for the future, if ever they're ready to recoup without these two 'once in a generation' players. Which team is heading in the right direction? Next week give us all a small clue to that question.

HALA MADRID!
