"RIP Real Madrid?"

Can't help but feel times are changing, (ignoring chelsea for once! lol) I think that madrids position as the worlds best club are edging towards an end, People have been saying for sometime now that real madrids defence is weak, now its a shambles. They have lost there long standing captain and long term spain international Hierro, and more importantly Makalele. Zidane and Helguera have already stated there disgust at this deal and this may well lead to zidane not having the ability to roam he was formerly allowed, and also does not bode well for the protection of the defence.
During the summer real failed to buy in defenders and this combined with makalele's departure could be severely detrimental to them remaining the worlds best club. Pavon looks a tidy litttle defender but they still lack substance in defence and have announced Helguera is out for 2-4 weeks. There midfield is hugely classy but again it is aging and the gems of the midfield are on the wrong side of thirty. All though Madrid will probably always be one of the worlds biggest teams the gap appears to be falling, and we could soon see a far more open situation at the top of european football with 4 or 5 top clubs all competing at roughly the same level. Could be an interesting few years at the top of european football.

lemme guess because makalele's not therE?

hoho real 1- villreal 1

Eg, champs league semi final 2nd leg.

No Makelele equals Real losing 3-1.

Anyways, Cambiasso seems to look like a alright player....Ah sod it, i only came in here to say champs league flops.

Don't be a dunce. Almost everyone in this forum knew who he was before Chelsea bought him, before even the Real Madrid - Man Utd games, before he went there even. He is a highly classy player, and most of the Real Madrid players said he was the most important player in their team.
