... and with a pretty strong starting lineup:
Dudek
Arbeloa Metzelder Albiol Drenthe
Granero M Diarra Guti Van der Vaart
Benzema Raúl
Humiliating. Last season they got knocked out at this same stage by a 3rd tier team as well...Makes no sense. Villareal last season under Pellegrini got hammered 5-0 at this same stage of the competition by a 2nd tier side.....
Shameful.
Names aside, the only good players in that line up...and by good I mean "Real Madrid good" are Benzema and Albiol. Drenthe has his moments, M. Diarra has totally lost it, and Raul somehow manages to score goals without exhibiting quality in any other department of the game. The rest of that line up only good on paper...On the field, is sh*t for days...
Madrid in a serious mess right now- spend a setta rash money on a heap of individuals who haven't proven yet that they can play together....the saga continues..
