Dis anyone think Real Madrid's performance was stellar yesterday given their injuries and lack of subs?

I don't even think the vast majority of Real Madrid fans would feel that way.

They didn't even win the match outright before a penalty shootout.



To be honest, they really didn't look that great throughout the entire CL knockout rounds-- especially in building up play through the midfield or beautiful combinations from the star studded attackers.


In that light, they certainly deserve credit for defending well and getting results even with the midfield and attack sputtering a bit but that's a backhanded compliment for Real Madrid.
