After A Dreadful El Clasico

- The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to do all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. Itโ€™s in the name!

Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job, Ezek, Valyrian Steel , Felipejack , Juninho , NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Kung_Fu_Zizou . Real Madrid lined-up in a rather predictable fashion given the absence of players such as Mbappรฉ, Arda, Militรฃo and Valverde. Trent, Jude, Gonzalo and Vinicius are the obvious creative outlets and goal threats, made for a rather unpredictable game for a team that has been poor for two consecutive seasons.

Real Madrid have lost in El Clasico on many occasions but one can scarcely remember such a poor side lining up against their eternal rivals. ๐Ÿšจโšช๏ธ ๐‘๐„๐€๐‹ ๐Œ๐€๐ƒ๐‘๐ˆ๐ƒ ๐Ž๐…๐…๐ˆ๐‚๐ˆ๐€๐‹ ๐—๐ˆ. pic.
