Losing Momentum?

So, Los Blancos’ advance was halted by a Stuani equalizer late in the second half. This result is back-to-back with another disappointing result - the loss against RB Leipzig, in which Real were underwhelming to say the least. First of all, what’s your take on said draw?

Benzema has certainly been missed, being the Royal Whites’ heavy hitter and all. Still, we have enough depth to beat both of them. Now, we were always going to get results like this on the way, but the truth is, both of these could have been avoided. We can only hope Karim is back soon and that we steer clear of more injuries, to allow the team some continuity and thus their momentum back.

Have a nice day and may the Madridismo be with ya all.
