I’ve always been curious how he was at Real Madrid since I never really followed him after his transfer after the 2014 WC.

    Real Madrid ruined him. If they build the midfield around him, he would of most likely completely dominated the La Liga, but he made way too many sub appearances where they expected him to have goal contributions every game when he was only playing 10mins or so. Ruined his confidence and then when he was going to other clubs, they had a preconception that he wasn’t good so he just followed that path. Seeing a player with the talent of the best players in the world to then become someone of similar talent to the likes of Joe Allen in 2 seasons without an injury is mind blowing

    I idolized him so much during the World Cup. Wasted himself in Real Madrid just like Hazard. Such as shame as I thought he suited that club perfectly

    Was amazing on his first season with 17 goals and 18 assists, but in big games Real Madrid sucked because there was no DM because of him. A midfield of Kroos-Modric-James with Bale-Benzema-Cristiano in front of them was too offensive, it’s no coincidence that they lost 4-0 to both Barcelona and Atletico with these players.
