The player Real Madrid need to cut ties with the most in 2025

No club in world football holds their players to a higher standard than Real Madrid, and that's one of the reasons why they are the most successful club on the planet in the Champions League, having just won their second UCL title in the last three seasons under Carlo Ancelotti. So when Real Madrid fans see a player in their squad that isn't remotely good enough in comparison to his peers, alarm bells start ringing. It doesn't matter if they barely play and it isn't even anything personal against the player; it's just that Madridistas believe everyone in the squad needs to be there for a reason. A couple of years ago, Real Madrid had trouble convincing Mariano Diaz to leave, as the third-string striker stuck around on a contract nobody wanted to take on. Mariano's case was nobody's f...

Now we see why Real Madrid want Florian Wirtz despite already having Arda Guler

Real Madrid have been one of the handful of elite clubs most frequently linked to Bayer Leverkusen superstar Florian Wirtz, and since former Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso is his coach and has his eyes on the Madrid managerial job after Carlo Ancelotti, there's a school of thought that says the Merengues are the favorites to sign the German international. However, there is another school of thought within the Spanish capital that says Real Madrid should not spend 100-150 million euros on a No. 10 when they already brought in the very talented and successful trio of Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, and Brahim Diaz in summer 2023. All three men played key roles in Real Madrid hoisting the La Liga and Champions League trophies last season. Although Bellingham has moved back to a No. 8 role i...

Real Madrid are after another one of Xabi Alonso’s best players

Real Madrid made two major signings in the summer 2024 transfer window, but both of these blockbuster attacking buys were pre-arranged deals for Endrick and Kylian Mbappe that everyone knew were coming. In summer 2025, Real Madrid have a more intriguing window ahead of them, because they could go in any number of directions to upgrade a squad that is starting to look dangerously thin in defense. Left back, center back, and right back will be priority positions for Real Madrid with players like Alvaro Fernandez, Antonio Silva, and Alphonso Davies emerging on the radar at these key positions. According to a report from Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg, Real Madrid are confirmed to be tracking Bayer Leverkusen star right midfielder Jeremie Frimpong, who has been one of the wo...

Liverpool pushing to sign underrated LB ahead of Real Madrid

Liverpool are 'strongly interested' in signing Benfica left-back Álvaro Carreras, according to a report from O Jogo. The Reds haven't made that many signings in recent months, but it feels like a move for Carreras could change that as they are pushing to sign him, especially after his performance in Benfica's stunning (and satisfying) 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid in early October. Carreras was one of their best players, and it has left an impression on many top clubs across Europe. The report says that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United are also among those interested in signing the highly-rated full-back who has taken Portuguese football by storm in the last couple of months - playing the most outfield minutes out of everyone in the current Benfica squad - and it seems lik...

Real Madrid own the Nations League Team of the Week with two usual suspects

Real Madrid have the biggest stars in world football right now, and the reigning champions of Spain and Europe love watching those same superstars shine on the international stage. While the UEFA Nations League is nothing more than a glorified friendly - which Kylian Mbappe isn't participating in because it's nothing more than an increased injury risk - it's still nice to see top players shining for their countries. Jude Bellingham and Luka Modric are two big-game Real Madrid players who, in particular, bring their best for England and Croatia, respectively, with Jude making a name for himself at the Euros with a bicycle kick for the ages to rescue England. Sofascore released their Team of the Week for Round 3 of the Nations League, and Real Madrid had the most players on the team...

Barcelona are preparing their X-Factor to beat Real Madrid

Barcelona fell to Real Madrid in all three Clasicos last season, including a 4-1 defeat in the Supercup, as the Merengues ran away with the league title after Barca were the ones to dominate them in the 2022/23 season. Coming out of the October international fixtures, Barcelona will actually be first in LaLiga, even though Real Madrid were the more hyped team coming into the 2024/25 season after winning LaLiga and the Champions League, in addition to signing attackers Kylian Mbappe and Endrick. Barcelona, however, have boasted Europe's most electrifying attack under new manager Hansi Flick, who has Robert Lewandowski scoring goals like he's at Bayern Munich while Raphinha and Lamine Yamal have both been world-class, too. The final piece of the puzzle for Barcelona has been attacki...

Real Madrid have the best player of the Nations League so far with truly spectacular numbers

Real Madrid are used to having their superstars shine on the international stage just as brightly as they do for the club, such as European Champion Dani Carvajal and Jude Bellingham, who scored an unforgettable bicycle kick this summer. The most consistent Real Madrid star on the international stage right now, though, has to be the ageless wonder Luka Modric, who turned in another high-order performance this weekend in a 2-1 win over Scotland. Modric was irresistible for his country, creating three chances and completing four dribbled as the Man of the Match. The legendary Madrid midfielder also won three tackles and six interceptions in a defensive monsterclass. On the ball as a passer, Modric was consistent as ever, completing nearly 90 percent of his 65 pass attempts (second o...

Kylian Mbappe is making France angrier, but his decision should be praised

As even Real Madrid fans can attest, Kylian Mbappe is a superstar player who isn't afraid to make controversial decisions to benefit his own career, regardless of what the outside world thinks about him. That much has to be respected, and, on some level, it's important for all players to have a bit of that mentality in them, because as football becomes more cold and corporate, players have to realize that nobody will take care of you except for YOU. Mbappe has received particularly ridiculous criticism and pressure from his own country, whether that was at PSG or on the French national team. He's been catching heat lately for not being as present for the national team for in-season friendly fixtures, even as, hypocritically, many of these same personalities in France are criticizing ...

Real Madrid legend takes first step towards coaching career

So many Real Madrid greats have gone on to become managers - and highly successful ones, at that. The most famous example has to be Zinedine Zidane, who was one of the faces of the Galacticos era and inspired a generation of Real Madrid superstars, like Jude Bellingham. He went on to become the best manager in the world, accomplishing the unprecedented feat of winning three straight Champions League titles. Another great of the Galacticos era, Raul, is currently a manager for Real Madrid at the youth level and has generated significant coaching interest from the Bundesliga, where he spent two seasons with Schalke. Raul was highly respected in Germany, scoring 28 goals in two seasons after he had already turned 33. Schalke, to this day, are aggressively pursuing the Spanish icon to he...

Man City star wants Vinicius Jr. to win Ballon d’Or over Rodri

At this point, it seems like a foregone conclusion that Real Madrid superstar left winger Vinicius Junior will win the 2024 Ballon d'Or after a ludicrous second half of the 2023/24 season, overcoming injury and abuse to lead Los Blancos to convincing Champions League and La Liga title triumphs. Vinicius Jr. finished the 2023/24 season with 15 goals and 5 assists despite only starting 22 games due to injury, and he was even more prolific in the Champions League with 6 goals and 4 assists in 10 starts with an average of 3.7 dribbles completed per game. There are a number of other valid competitors for the Ballon d'Or, but the only two that have gained significant traction are Real Madrid teammate Jude Bellingham and Manchester City defensive midfielder Rodri, who was part of the City s...
