- Mateo Kovacic's injury

- Cristiano Ronaldo doing what he wants

- Gareth Bale's shy, yet efficient match (five key passes, the third time this season he's led the team in that category), and one (maybe two) assist(s)

- Crossing and tactical versatility
- Marco Asensio’s infected pimple

- And more!
