Four things we noticed: Real Madrid v Arsenal

Our US tour ended in dramatic fashion with four goals, two red cards and - ultimately - a penalty shootout defeat in Washington DC.

Here are four things we noticed...

SORE-KRATIS

Sokratis' appearance ended before the first half did, and it's hard not to sympathise with him. He started the game like a train, heading away brilliantly as Madrid threatened in the opening moments, and saving us again with a perfectly-timed, last-ditch block. Sokratis produced another crunching tackle just before we went two up, but he fell victim to two harsh decisions in the space of two minutes.
