On this Patron-only episode of the Managing Madrid Podcast, Kiyan Sobhani and Matt Wiltse discuss:

- Cristiano Ronaldo’s epic off-ball movement, our reaction to his goal, his freakish ability at the age of 33, and a bunch of other important things about the GOAT

- Luka Modric patchwork in the wonky diamond, as well as Toni Kroos’s unmistakeable influence in controlling play

- Chiellini’s influence from the back mitigated by Zidane’s press

- So, uh, Gareth Bale.

- The holy trinity: Keylor Navas, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos

- Juventus’ uncharacteristically bad defending

- xG fluctuations throughout the match

- Real Madrid’s ridiculous eight-year European run

- And more
