I’m seeing people saying “Jude masterclass” when he was quite bad and non existent for most of the match. Kudos for the goals and the 3 points but football social media is gone. Anyone else feel this way?

    what is it you think you’re being objective about? surely the only objective thing is that he scored an equaliser and a winner…

    This has been going on for forever - Zidane wasn’t that great in 98 but his brace in the final and some specific instances in knockout performances elevated him.

    Zidane was insane in Euro 2000 however yet both 98 and 06 get more praise.

    I’m sorry but do people not know scoring goals is more important than stats like dribbles completed to challenges won😭

    This guy just really really does not like real madrid just looking at his post history. I mean yeah jude wasn’t perfect throughout the whole game. But he won them the game.

    Not just Jude but overall Los Clássicos have dropped in quality and intensity over the last few years. It used to be a game that would put on display the best of individual and collective brilliance. This one seemed no different than a mid-league dead rubber affair.

    Scoring, like most people here seem to think, isn’t the end of it all when judging a player. Prime Inzaghi or Shevchenko would have been top of everything and Ronaldinho a hack as he wouldn’t score consistently.

    Jude is a good player, more physical than technical and may have a great career. Whether he’s world class is still to be determined.

    You must have a reason to feel he was non existent in the game and that’s perfectly fine, imo however he was at the right place at the right time - a skill as great as any, scored the all important goal and saw his team prevail. I’d say he is a generational talent who had a great game, and I’m a Barca supporter. I also feel that objectivity or partisanship in football have been pretty much the same across the years, despite the sea change in socio-political culture, and again that’s just my opinion.

    Im a barca fan, and even i will agree bellingham played great. He pulled a goal out of his ass like messi in the 2022 world cup, then nutmegged mats (one of the best keepers in the world). Im not even scared of mbappe anymore, its this guy.

    Football being irrational is why we find it meaningful.

    Listen any football fan talking about their club and you will see they are out of touch with reality. The only rational way to engage with football is to realise that its just a game about a ball and is a waste of time. But who wants that?

    When it comes to big matches fans in general get dramatic about the winning team. Winning against Barcelona is a difficult thing to do. Tbh without injuries there’s no way Madrid would have won. Anyway. Madrid fans are also dramatic.

    He scored 2 goals (the only goals) for his team against their rivals and they won. Don’t think this is so outlandish as you and others are making out
