LaLiga 2018-19, Eibar 3-0 Real Madrid: 5 Talking Points

Modified Nov 24, 2018 16:18 GMT

Real put in a disturbingly lacklustre performance against the minnows, and rarely looked like trying to control the game, despite having 61% possession.

#2 Cucurella is the man

Barcelona loanee Marc Cucurella looked like a man possessed against his parent club's eternal rivals on the night.

He had a hand in all three goals on the night, whilst tormenting the entire right-hand side of Real Madrid, not giving anyone a moment of respite.

He marauded down the left-hand side, given additional freedom by the presence of Jose Angel at left back to clean up at the back and keep runners in check.

He was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch tonight, and if he can maintain his level of performances, it won't be long before he's considered for a bigger role by his parent club, who will need a replacement for Jordi Alba eventually, who's nearing 30.
