Great teams and great players do it season in, season out.

If they don't win it, they're always challenging.

And you just don't get that impression from this team and a lot of these players.

Now, after Vinicius Junior missed out on the Ballon d'Or, he put out something on social media about him going to do it 10 times over or something like that.

That's never come to fruition.

And I've been one of Vinicius Junior's biggest supporters here.

Incredible talent under a pressure that...

Most of us cannot imagine.

Last season, between Ancelotti and Kylian Mbappe, they carried the can for those disappointments.

Now, no Carlo Ancelotti, Kylian Mbappe probably has been the only success story of this season.

Yet nobody else from Real Madrid, senior or just talented, has stepped up in a way that...

You associate with great players and great teams.

And that's a big disappointment for me because I'm not sure how you turn that switch.

I'm not sure that there is a switch that a manager can flick.

This is something that players are born with and bring to the training ground and to the match field every single time they step on.

Listen, to Liam Rossini's point, yes, Sanchez didn't make one very good save, but the two errors he made were pretty basic, in all honesty.

And I get what he's saying about the first, and it's a team goal, but if you are going man-to-man, you could ask questions of, I think in this case, Jau Pedro, as to how he loses his markers as easily as he does.

But if Sanchez leaves his line to come for the ball as he does here, it's got to be a better effort.

He misses that by a long way.

And in the end, it's a header from Ben White from all of, what, three yards?
