They had arguably one of their best performances in midweek against Atletico Madrid.
They won 3-2, albeit Atleti knew they were, you know, they probably took the foot off the gas a little bit because they had a three-goal advantage.
But still...
They scored three goals at home against Atleti and the scorer of the three goals didn't play today.
Xavi Simons got two, Colomboani got one and there's a game three days later and it's a huge game and the two guys that were arguably two of your better players that night don't play.
It's decisions like that.
that are just turning people against the manager and decisions like that, why there's a lot of people losing faith that he's going to pick the right team going forward because that, when you saw the team selection today, bearing in mind what these players have done in midweek, these two players in particular, for them not to play today was a big surprise.
Frank, final thoughts on this?
Spurs, of course, hugely disappointing this season.
Well, just a reminder, Real Madrid winning earlier today, defeating Atletico Madrid by three goals to two, coming from behind to do so.
Sid Lowe was there for us.
Sid's just come from the Arbeloa press conference.
Sid, I've been told to ask you about Vinicius Junior, Trent and the referee.
Right, which order would you like him in?
Shall we start with Vinicius, shall we?
Arbalo was asked about the performance from Vinicius and what does he think about the fact that Vinicius have produced a performance this good up against Marco Sciorente, who's about as tough a fullback to be up against, not least because he has the speed to keep up with you.
And Arbalo's responsible to say what?
Just another great performance from Vinicius.
And he made the point of saying it's not just about the talent.
It's about the determination.
