So they're taking everything that's been laid on a plate for them at the moment and fair play to them for that.

I just feel they've got that little bit of consistency and energy about their side now.

So they're definitely in a better place than they were four or five weeks ago.

I think it's simple and straightforward that we say that Atletico Madrid made mistakes and they pounced on them.

But at the end of the day, Real Madrid put them under pressure and forced the mistakes.

And I think that's key.

This is a team that we've been talking about that seem to have lacked energy.

Well, the opposition have failed.

You've got to use your legs and you've got to use your desire to put pressure on the opposition.

That's exactly what they did today.

And they got the break with that.

But some great finishing.

Red card or no for you, Luis?

If you look at that replay, the referee doesn't actually see anything until the very end.

And if the referee had actually seen the challenge, he would have seen what Valverde was trying to do.

He's trying to hook his leg round to get the ball.

And in trying to get the ball, he's caught him 100%.

And if you want to give it yellow, that's fine.

But it's not a red card.

And he's given the red because all he's seen is the contact that looks, what, half a yard away from the ball.
