real bets have really gone cold this season, their defense and game play isn't what it used to be, it remember when real Madrid used to have a hard time to defeat them but today's game was really effortless for them. in the second half they tried to pick up but it was already too late and besides their current form is bad so there's no way they would have been able to run a comeback goal

[$weetne$$]

Real Madrid was really on fire in this match, I expected them to win but I never expected them to win with that numbers of goals, I believe Real Madrid is back to there old form, Barcelona should be very careful so they won't lose the trophy this season, I trust Real Madrid coach and thank God they didn't sack him, Real Madrid president is not a patient man and is very bad, people needs to be patient, I knew what the coach needed was more time, they did very well today and they surprised everyone one good performance from Real Madrid today.

Madrid was at their top tier performance on this particular game, they had all the dominance and possession, it felt like their opponents could not wait for the  game to end already because  their humiliation was growing by the minutes, this is one of those few games that has given Madrid some more goals this season, to their advantage, if the need arises the goals will be something Madrid can capitalise upon.

Real Madrid needed three points. They won them comfortably, a victory befitting Real Madrid, 5-1.

Yep. It was a must to secure 3 points to ensure they are still competing for the title with Barcelona. Fortunately, they won the match easily although they played against a strong team like Real Betis. They scored 5 goals and they were only conceded 1 goal. It showed that Real Madrid applied a very affective tactic and used the right formation.

Gonzalo scored his first goal of the season in this match, then his second, and later his third. He hadn't scored this season and scored two goals in this game.

Well, Gonzalo's performance was impressive today. Scoring 3 goals isn't easy for a young player like him. I think he deserves to give more opportunities to play. He has great skills!!

Rodrygo's passes were also excellent today, he set up several easy goals. In the second half, Real Betis pressed, scored a goal, but couldn't follow it up. The other team followed up.

Again, Rodrygo contributed well in the match. He deserves to play as the main player in each match. I think Xabi already got a solution for Real Madrid attacking, one of them is to put Rodrygo as the main player there.  

[len01]

Real Madrid's performance today was really good, the way they played was very interesting and there were exciting moments. In this match, Gonzala Garcia played amazingly, he scored a hat-trick with three goals in the match. In this match, Real Madrid's leadership was very good, Xabi Alonso's strategy was very good, winning 5-1 goals. Real Madrid team won this match and they got their confidence back, they are currently 4 points behind Barcelona. In the next matches, Real Madrid team will definitely try to play more strongly and they will improve their game more in order to compete with Barcelona.

At first, Madrid might have been slightly doubted because some of their key players were missing in that match, but I was very confident that as long as Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Bellingham were playing, Madrid would still win. And seeing Betis’ current form, especially their weak defense, I already thought Madrid would manage to score over 2.5 goals.

This proves that Alonso will never give up on the title race this season.

[Slow death]

Real Madrid needed three points. They won them comfortably, a victory befitting Real Madrid, 5-1.
Gonzalo scored his first goal of the season in this match, then his second, and later his third. He hadn't scored this season and scored two goals in this game.
Rodrygo's passes were also excellent today, he set up several easy goals. In the second half, Real Betis pressed, scored a goal, but couldn't follow it up. The other team followed up.

Notice that despite Real Madrid scoring 5 goals, Rodrygo and Vinicius didn't score any. They are good players when it comes to dribbling and assists, but as goalscorers they are far below the desired level, and even with the passage of time they are not managing to improve their goal-scoring skills. I think that sooner or later these two players will leave Real Madrid; it may not be this season or another, but I highly doubt that in two seasons they will be at Real Madrid.

I’m not familiar with most of Real Madrid's academy players, but I do know loaning out these players does help a lot to keep them fit and progress.. Some of these players were coming from playing constantly in their previous squads, and imagine just benching them for a straight season on arrival.

For now, Arda doesn’t have any choice but to just wait and hope everything works out while trying to get better, but I still stand on the point of getting him loaned out if they eventually sign new midfielders…
Those conditions you listed are solid, but I think he should be fine. Luckily, he has a big club pushing him for him : Arteta wants Arsenal to sign Real Madrid star this month

Yes, Nico Paz is a player who is out on loan and is doing very well in a Como shirt, acting as one of the leaders on the pitch. So i believe Arda would adapt as well.As for Arsenal, i’m not sure what to tell you. If you want my honest opinion, i think he wouldn’t adapt well under Arteta. I don’t think he would fit into Arteta’s playing concept and tactical system. In general, the pace of the Premier League wouldn’t suit him.For now, it’s probably best for him to stay at Real Madrid, fight for playing time, and develop through matches. As i said before, he’s lucky that Xabi trusts him, and i also hope he will justify that trust

The move is just likely a test , I’m sure Xabi isn’t realeasing anytime soon..Fitting in or not has to do with the team itself..there’s nothing that bad with Arteta’s style, he’s probably trying probably need him as substitute and replacement for odegaard.. There’s possibly for what you mentioned to happen but the prob. should be low , he should probably fit in. It’s not going to happen though, Xabi kinda needs him and I confirmed that in today’s game..

Limited minutes for Arda, but he still managed to get an assist. A very well played match both by Real and by Arda. I mentioned Arteta because even Gyokeres, who arrived in top form from Sporting, is struggling to adapt to Arteta’s tactics. That’s why i said Arda might not be able to settle in there either. In my opinion, the best coach for him is definitely Xabi, because as we can see, they have a great relationship and , most importantly, mutual trust

Definitely in this game we can say it was an easy one for real Madrid as they produced 5 goals to 1, I will say this was never an easy one though but they managed to have a win in this one, the point gap they have is still same with that of Barcelona, as they are still behind with a 4 points difference. For now I will not conclude as the season is still far for them to catch and this will happen if only Barcelona have a lost or they likely to drop any points ahead of them, for now we can say that, Barcelona are not ready to drop any points as they are playing better off in every of their matches.

They are good players when it comes to dribbling and assists, but as goalscorers they are far below the desired level, and even with the passage of time they are not managing to improve their goal-scoring skills.

Rodrygo was behind the first and third goal scored by Real Madrid today against Betis, he created the assist for it. All football players do not need to be brilliant goal scorers, any footballer who is good in creating goal scoring chance for his teammate will actually be preferred to a player who does not create chances for others and who does not score goals too.

I think that sooner or later these two players will leave Real Madrid; it may not be this season or another, but I highly doubt that in two seasons they will be at Real Madrid.

Rodrygo will leave maybe because he wants to be playing more, why I think Vinicius may possibly leave as he is already having some issues with Xabi Alonso the coach. If they leave the club, there will be players waiting to fill their place, that is how Real Madrid is, they always have players.

Real Madrid did very well in today's match they performed as expected, I believe Real Madrid is now better than before and they may end up winning the la Liga title if they have the chance to do that, Barcelona are very lucky yesterday to have won that match if they ended up drawing that much Real Madrid would have been more closer to them and I'm very sure they will do more better to make sure that they remain at the top of the table because right now they are in a serious competition with Real Madrid and this is the time that League becomes very interesting.

In a previous match, Real Madrid defeated Real Betis 2-1 in March 2025.
Now, Real Madrid not only beat Real Betis but also thrashed them 5-1.
It was a truly satisfying result. What was particularly impressive about this was the players who usually come off the bench.

In the game of Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad, there was something I noticed real quick. It was Rodrygo, look at way his been playing with zeal and passion for the club which still shows that he genuinely loves Real Madrid. He fell out of favour right for the last days of Ancelotti being the coach because of his dip in form and it followed even as Alonso took over. Real Madrid made attempts to sell him but the Brazilian was not going down without a fight so he refused to be sold and instead said he was going to fight for his place, of course he was going to fall short in the perking order but he didn't care, all he wanted was remain in the club and fight for his place. At some point after seeing how he was treated, I suggested he agrees to be sold to get his usual playing time and of course his form back. Little by little he was been pushed in around 80 minutes plus as substitute and he didn't complain, gradually he started improving again. Little by little he was getting more game time and he kept on improving. Right now, even though his not up to his usual top form but at least there's a good lot of improvement in him and that's what I admire, fighting for what you believe in and want.

[stompix]

And it's finally time to put a sock on all the things about RM right now..
It's been 3 matches since Celta and 3 wins, each a level more convincing than the other, from a team that as supposed to be left with no manager and players arguing with each other to one scoring 5 goals against the 6th paled it's a huge difference.

Not that I'm all confident in Real Madrid for all of next matches but still seeing Atletico so close in the odds at 2.8 to 2.4 and closing after their own display agaisnt Sociedad is a bit puzzling, there is of course the last encounter but still out of the two the one in crisis is not Real.

In the game of Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad, there was something I noticed real quick.

That you were watching the wrong game?

[8rch7]

While Real won Gonzalo Garcia made a hat-trick. Some say Real Madrid don't develop players, they buy ready-made ones. Well, here is a true star candidate developed by the academy. Even if not as much as Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid also produces players from their academy and they can get playing time. When given a chance, those who use it well are remembered fondly, like Gonzalo. This season he had always come on in the final minutes, when he started the match, he got the chance to show his quality.

True, many people are saying Real Madrid can't develop youth players and always buy the star player already playing at the top performance. Last night Gonzalo Garcia make it difference get the great chance playing at the early minutes success make the first hattrick in his professional career, three goals scored last night almost wonderful from heading, right and left foot. I think amazing night for Gonzalo Garcia replacing well position leave by Mbappe have out after getting injury and Alonso seems not confusing how many matches Mbappe absent will replace as well as by Gonzalo.
Last night all 5 goals scored from the youth or Madrid academy players from Asencio and Frans Garcia, I am waiting for the people confusing Madrid can't develop top players.

[Adbitco]

Real Madrid 5 Vs Real Betis 1
For a . match that ended 1 - 0 at HT, second half and Los Blancos went on a rampage against Real Betis. This is the kind of display the Bernebeu faithfuls has been waiting for, play well and score goals instead of making them carry their hearts in their hands if they were leading by just one goal difference which the opponent could have easily equalised judging from the kind of team this Real Madrid is especially during when the game far gone. At HT who would have thought Real Madrid was going to score 4 more goals in the second half, as for me I didn't and to top it all, Garcia tha was brought in in place of the injured Mbappe didn't disappoint at all. Good win for Real Madrid. At least with performance like this, they won't be bashed like they were few weeks ago.

I get it, Real Madrid wins when I don't bet on them.   But Barcelona won, and that suits me too, because the odds on their victory were roughly equal. There were concerns that Real Madrid's attack would perform worse without Mbappé, but as it turns out, Real Madrid has a natural talent in Garcia, whom Alonso doesn't use very often, and it looks like he deserves to be in the starting lineup. Incidentally, he performed well at the Club World Cup, but hasn't played as often since.

Lol, so that means you should stop placing bets in favour of Real Madrid so they will be able to win their games then. Be placing on Barcelona so that both of them will keep on winning their games lol. For Barcelona, I wasn't and I'm not even afraid that they would draw not to talk of losing, they are way more solid than Real Madrid and it's evident. Talking about Alonso not using Garcia, I still think the only reason why he was used today was because Mbappe is out injured, if not he would have still been on the bench and surprisingly, Real Madrid won't have seen this kind of score line. Maybe they would have even struggled to win this match. The thing is, even if players are fit to play but are not really performing, they should be dropped and replaced with others. Real Madrid has lots of players and these players are looking for game time and when you rotate, you find out their are still hidden gems in these players. When a player knows his not guaranteed a starting call up, he will be forced to play better. Just imagine if Alonso had rotated his front 3 after those 2 draws, I'm sure the third wouldn't have been a draw because those player would have been willing to prove a point.

Yes Real Madrid managed to win this match and they got the three points they needed. Yes he managed to score a great goal and scored a hat trick in this match his first goal of the season and scored three goals brilliantly. However in the second half Betis put a lot of pressure and managed to score a goal but later Real Madrid's defense was very strong. However in this match Real Madrid played a great game to maintain their dominance, of course they need to play strong in the next matches and improve their weak points.

It's been a long time since I've seen Real Madrid play such a collective game with such good teamwork and collaboration. This time Real Madrid's attack was more lively and varied because it did not depend on one player to score goals, each player had an equal opportunity to score goals because attacks could be built from all lines.

The presence of Gonzalo García seems to have eliminated or eliminated Mbappe centricity. You can see for yourself how Real Madrid playing style has changed after finding a pure number 9 player. While other players were shining to help Real Madrid win, Vinicius was subdued. He failed to score against Real Betis, making it 18 games without a goal. He didn't have a single shot on target and didn't create any major chances. It seems he is starting to lose his motivation to play for Real Madrid, I think it is very reasonable for Alonso to take him off and replace him with Arda Guler because he is not contributing at all, but he actually shows his displeasure.

Games with Real Betis can be truly challenging yesterday was not one of those days as they out five goals to seal their second place on the league table.
That Garcia's hat trick will not be one to be forgotten so fast. It was just the perfect one for himself and tue fans. In the absence of Kylian Mbappe he has shown he has the qualities to fit in, he also showed that he was capable, during the FIFA World Club Cup. Rodrygo was also influential during the game and credits to the defenders who held up to the goals and stopped Real Betis from causing further harm.

[ancafe]

Yes Real Madrid managed to win this match and they got the three points they needed. Yes he managed to score a great goal and scored a hat trick in this match his first goal of the season and scored three goals brilliantly. However in the second half Betis put a lot of pressure and managed to score a goal but later Real Madrid's defense was very strong. However in this match Real Madrid played a great game to maintain their dominance, of course they need to play strong in the next matches and improve their weak points.

I never imagined Real Betis would suffer a heavy defeat away to Real Madrid because I thought that with Real Betis' current ability, they could match the game and even if they did lose, it probably wouldn't be by a big score. No one made any major mistakes in this match, so Real Madrid played very well and were able to achieve a big win. I saw Rodrigo continue to show significant improvement, so he deserved more opportunities to show his quality. Real Betis did apply pressure in the second half, but Real Madrid's ability in that match was so good that it was difficult for them to develop and create scoring opportunities.

[ajanwalker]

I think Real Madrid's management should be ashamed of the performance of these two players, whom they treated unfairly.

At the beginning of the season, they asked Rodrygo to find a new club, but he stayed and is contributing to Real Madrid's goals. He didn't score in the Betis match, but he stood out with his assists.

The other player is Gonzalo. In Mbappe's absence, he also scored 3 goals today. His second and last goals were particularly spectacular.

As for the match, after falling 3-0 behind, Betis went on the attack and scored. Even after making it 3-1, Betis' influence continued; the shot that hit the post and the missed clear chances were memorable. Real Madrid won 5-1. I think Mbappe's absence due to injury was better for Real.
