ESPN FC · Real Madrid Dropping Points Like Flies · 10 Apr 2026 podcast

It seems to have done, certainly in the last game.

But that's the standard that we've seen most of the season.

In fact, that's maybe a slightly better than we've seen most of the season.

But that's a kind of mediocre standard that we've seen from Real Madrid that's left him in this position that only Barcelona losing really will give them half a chance because there's a classical coming on May 10th.

a Barcelona win tomorrow, nine points, you can forget it.

And that's because there's been too many of these games.

Too many games where teams have defended deep and defended in an organised way, but Real Madrid haven't been able to break it down.

And when you saw some of this stuff, and I don't blame Kylian Mbappé, who's having this bit of a dry spell.

The chances that he's missing are actually, I think, a lot of difficult chances.

From angles, from balls coming over his head, it's not like he's missing sitters.

But I look at Vinicius Junior today and there was a one point right at the end.

And we have talked to all broadcasters about crosses into the box and better delivery and more delivery.

He had an opportunity with a minute or two to go on the left-hand side to put an easy cross in and he tried to beat another two guys and gave it away.

So that overcomplication from Real Madrid today happened quite a lot.

So just not a good enough performance.

But again, we've seen this type of thing at the Bernabeu a lot this season.

And I think what we've seen from them is because they have so much talent,

Maybe somebody has a wonder strike from 25 or maybe there's just that moment where Mbappe is able to dribble a couple guys or one of those 10 attempts that Vinny had of trying to dribble six guys.

Maybe he pulls one off and that's the odd goal that gives them the three points.

but a well-organized Girona, and Girona even gifted him a goal.
