real madrid are a shadow of their previous team for sure.

zidane had a great pass to him in the box but he miscontrolled and would never have done that 2 years ago, he also had many misplaced passes.

beckham who previously was arguably the best crosser of the ball in the world had at least half a dozen crosses either go out of play or simply just overhit, his passing wasnt great and also he had a lot of goal scoring oppirtunities over both legs and blundered them all.

roberto carlos I still think is a great player, along with raul and ronaldo, their robinho doesnt seem so hot and they should have kept owen.

I think for the future they have some good young players like the left back who is behind beckham and woodgate, but they have a severe problem that they keep players in the team simply for marketing purposes and both zidane and beckham need to be dropped. Beckham as a result may up his game but I think zidane is simply past the point of no return.
