This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's an ok result for Madrid by KnightlyRevue
but far from a sure thing given the volume of injuries and absences in the lineup. Given that, I am happy as I thought the back line of Militao/Nacho/Mendy/Vazquez would be exposed badly.
Liverpool is not a top team this year. I do not fear going to Anfield given their injuries. Still, it is Champions and this tournament has a way of humbling teams. Madrid will need to put in an equal performance if they want to advance but neither team is putting the trophy in their cabinet.
I have been touting patience with Vinicius for quite some time with my Madrid fans. I was happy to see him have his moment tonight. All the materials are there for him to be a very good player. Just needs to keep composure in the final 3rd.
