Madrid mauled by the Belgians
By: Samantha Lennon

Brussels picked up a very important 3 points to aid their chance of a respectable finish, whereas Madrid continue to look subpar - at best. Both teams had cup campaigns to forget.

Just before the 25th minute, Madrid looked certain to have an excellent chance with Grealish, however an awful Boyo pass, which we've become accustomed to, meant that the ball would end up at the feet of a Brussels defender.

10 minutes later, some diabolical Madrid defending resulted in an easy chance for relatively new signing Emir, who converted it from a few yards out. The goal was created from Finglebottom's excellent tackle at the other end of the field moments prior, perhaps stopping a goal going in the other direction.

Nothing else of note happened in the first half, but Forder really should've doubled the lead before half-time. Speaking of, going into half-time, Brussels were the much better team and Madrid were unbelievably poor.

Unfortunately, as is the case with Madrid games, nothing happened from there onwards. The game thankfully finished soon after, with the home side Brussels taking all 3 points, sending them to 10th. Madrid has been in shocking form, and it most likely won't get better anytime soon - they play 3rd in the league London on Matchday 12.
