Real currently drawing 2-2 with 6 minutes to play. They'll be 16 points behind Barca if they don't win tonight.

Zidane will lose his job where as the teams chasing City will all keep theirs

 

[Robbo]

Real are just bad aren't they, surely Ronaldo hasn't gone down the drain this fast...

 

[Shamikebab]

Surely has to be more than just Ronaldo if they're conceding two goals against Celta.

 

[Andybtsn]

It was his fault for them conceding the first and then he missed a number of opportunities. But yeah the whole backline seems all over the shop.

Surely Zidane's gone now! Real have just lost 1-0 at home to Villarreal - supposedly the first time Villarreal have beaten them there.

It's quite incredible just how quickly Real have gone from looking invincible to an utter shambles.

Shocking

There must be a fractured Real camp thats the obvious reason.

But how?

Arrogance. Main culprits being Casemiro, Ramos, Marcelo and Ronaldo.

Trying to get the manager sacked?

It's time owners punish players instead

 

[Purdy]

Mmm, zidane isn’t absolved of blame. Must be a big part of the problem (and the luck gone )

 

[zophiel]

real have always been like that, the big players always get what they want. it just a pity the 'big' players arnt actually that good anymore.

They need a large overhaul of playing staff. Far to many with bad attitudes who think they are not expendable.

 

[Shamikebab]

Can't say I've watched them much but why would the players want Zidane sacked?

 

[nemtizz]

Messi.

 

[Yas786]

I think I’m more shocked that Zidane is still managing Real even with their losses.

Something must be wrong with the Real board to keep faith with him. Usually their managers are ditched quickly.

[Purdy]

Should lose his job without a doubt

Refs thinking they’re part of the game truely ruins so many matches but that one takes the cake

 

[BaZ87]

The ref's instinctively kicked out then panics and thought the best way to cover it up was to send the player off

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

French FA will probably give the ref their full backing, suspend the player for an additional game and fine the club for failure to control their player

I can kinda understand the kickout as you've just gobbed it in front of 1000s of people and it's a tad embarrassing, but to then compound the issue and give the player his second yellow.
