Bellingham Set For Return To Training This Week After Injury

September 8, 2025 2:27 pm

Real Madrid have received a huge boost as English midfielder Jude Bellingham is expected to return to the training pitch this week following his recent injury setback. According to reports from Marca, the 21-year-old is feeling very good physically and is eager to get back into action sooner than initially anticipated.

Bellingham, who has quickly established himself as a key figure at Real Madrid since joining from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023, has been sidelined due to discomfort that required rest and recovery. His absence was felt in recent fixtures, as his creativity, energy, and goal-scoring ability have …

Ibrahima Konaté has revealed in a light-hearted comment that his close friend and French teammate Kylian Mbappé has been “pressuring” him to join Real Madrid following the striker’s sensational move to the Spanish capital.

The Liverpool defender joked: “Mbappé pressuring me to join Real Madrid? He calls me every two hours!” While delivered with humor, the remark reflects just how influential Mbappé’s transfer has been on conversations among France’s national team stars.

Mbappé, who finally sealed his long-anticipated switch to Real Madrid earlier this year, has wasted no time making an impact on and off the pitch. His presence at …

Iñigo Martínez: ‘Real Madrid could never keep up with us’

Iñigo Martínez: ‘Real Madrid Could Never Keep up With Us’

September 3, 2025 9:02 am

Barcelona defender Iñigo Martínez has spoken with confidence about his side’s recent dominance over Real Madrid, insisting that Los Blancos struggled to match Barça’s intensity on the pitch.

“Real Madrid respected us, and that was clear on the pitch,” Martínez said. “We always felt like they could never keep up with us.”

The Spanish centre-back, who joined Barcelona from Athletic Club in 2023, has quickly become a reliable figure in Xavi Hernández’s defensive setup. Known for his composure, aerial strength and ball-playing ability, Martínez has often been tasked with organizing the backline in high-pressure fixtures, including El Clásico.

Six Real Madrid Stars To Face Former Clubs In Upcoming Season

August 29, 2025 1:35 pm

The upcoming season promises plenty of drama for Real Madrid, as six of their players will be lining up against the clubs where their professional journeys first took shape. These reunions won’t just be emotional; they could also be decisive in the Champions League and domestic competitions.

Trent Faces Race for Real Madrid Start, City On Alert

Trent Faces Race For Real Madrid Start, City On Alert

August 27, 2025 8:05 pm

Real Madrid right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is under mounting pressure—and could soon find himself on the bench. The 26-year-old’s early outings have drawn sharp criticism, raising fresh doubts about his fit in Xabi Alonso’s setup. Meanwhile, Manchester City are quietly monitoring his situation.

In his La Liga debut, Alexander-Arnold was substituted after just 68 minutes in a 1–0 win over Osasuna. His performance was described as “not up to Real Madrid’s level” by AS editor Tomás Roncero, who highlighted a lack of intensity and adaptability. He warned that once Dani Carvajal is fully match-ready, Trent may struggle to hold onto his …

Sergio Ramos: A Defender With The Instinct Of A Number 9

Sergio Ramos: A Defender With The Instinct Of A Number 9

August 24, 2025 3:14 pm

Sergio Ramos has never been the kind of defender satisfied with simply holding the line. His career has been defined by something bolder: a willingness to step forward, to gamble, and to change games in ways defenders are rarely expected to.

Officially, Ramos’s tally stands at 124 goals—101 for Real Madrid, 23 for Spain. That figure matters because it corrects the folklore that places him at 146, sometimes even 150. Yet the significance is not in quibbling over a miscount. It lies in the astonishment that a central defender could carve out such a total at all.

And these were …
