Before going into the next Match I will rate the performance of players in the last game vs Manchester City. Benzema: 2/10, Very Poor game that has very less involvement, only misses and bad finishes, final third game play missing completely. And his pressing was also gone in the 2nd half. Vinicius: 8.5/10, created a few good chances, missed a sure 1 on 1 chance by slipping but that's a certain miss, got substituted for no fault and referee was too harsh on him. Gave one assist and was the best attacking player of the day . Isco: 7/10, Decent game and a goal to sum his play, was good in distribution as well, could have taken a few more but was a bit lazy, especially when the opponent defence was not that quick. Modric: 7.5/10, did his bit, controlled the game, few chances were initiated, pressed better than all other mid-field players.  Casemiro: 3/10, did all he was supposed to do but very poorly, a poor back pass lead to Ramos red card, casual on the ball and lost possessi

The upcoming match is against Atletico Madrid at a neutral stadium in Saudi Arabia which is the Final of the Supercopa. Being the first final of the season this is very crucial,  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio Hazard Bale Benzema Suspended : 1. None   Just recovered: James Marcelo Lucas Vazquez Practiced: Asensio and Hazard continue with their recovery processes. Bale and Benzema have not traveled to Saudi Arabia for the tournament and should not feature in the final. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: Bale and Benzema are not traveling. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for the Supercopa title, and it is a knockout game. Ramos is now available ,so Ramos and Varane should be seen in the starting 11 and as Marcelo had a muscular injury and just returned he was a bit scrappy and should not mak

The upcoming match is the el clasico against Barcelona away from home, currently they are at 1st and Real are 2nd of the leader-board. With equal points as Barcelona  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio Lucas Vazquez Hazard Marcelo Suspended : 1.   None   Just recovered: James Practiced: Asensio, Hazard and Lucas Vázquez continue with their recovery processes. James is back with the team. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: With the rest provided to Casemiro, he will certainly start. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all the teams neck to neck. With Varane back playing regularly we will have him in the starting 11 and as Marcelo has a muscular injury he should miss and Mendy having not played against Valencia should start.  So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will s
