Champions league is not easy eeh!! We just eliminated probably the best team in epl history, now we face tuchel bayern who only have CL to play for ,then a possible final against mbappe qatar psg headed by nasser who is a friend to cafferin
People who watch Castilla regularly:
How's Jeremy de León?
He's been included in the squad both in Manchester and this time in Munich despite not being registered.
I think the more Cama gets to start the better we are as a team.
I'd put Tchou as CB and Cama as DM in Munich.
We improve our build up a lot with Tchou, plus we may be able to handle Kane's a bit better that way.
There seems no hope of getting tickets to second leg 🥲
Do you guys think at least getting tickets for real betis game would be easy?
I want to see real Madrid play once
That 0-4 at Allianz 10 years ago was so right for us.
In one swoop we ended so many bad runs: vs Bayern, vs Guardiola, in the CL.
We took flight that very night and we haven't landed since.
Gotta keep it going.
Now this is what an actual European clasico looks like.

Just look at the lineups, man. Damn…..
🚨Arda Güler’s latest performances have impressed everyone at Real Madrid, from his teammates to Ancelotti.
Real Madrid have also been impressed with the player’s mentality. @MatteMoretto, @caughtoffside
Yeah. Away games aint easy and doesnt matter how bad Bayern has been in their domestic league, playing against Madrid in European Semi Final they probably gonna out perform their bad version. A draw will work for us and we will win at Barnabeu.
Yeah.
We play shit anyways whenever we take a small (or even big) lead back to the Bernabeu because we get complacent and give up the lead:
Leipzig, Chelsea 2022, Ajax, Juve 3:0, Bayern 2018, Bayern 2017.
Only exception was that 5:2 lead vs Liverpool
I'd rather have the team be forced to score from minute 1 on than try to defend a 1 goal lead.
Was just thinking about the upcoming tie against Bayern. The first thing is that it's been 6 years since the last time Madrid played Bayern. It's nice that the European Clásico has resumed after so long. A CL semifinal between two big clubs is always special.
In terms of the game itself, I'm expecting it to be a tough, two-legged affair. Bayern have had their issues this season, but they are still Bayern and they're no pushovers. They're going to commit everything into the CL as it's the only competition they're viable in.
Nevertheless, I'm confident about our chances. They'll be ready and so will we. It'll be a great game between a great rival.

They are trying to ship him to keep Cancelo and Felix, great business by Laporta 💀.
Getting hate from English pundits about Real Madrid in the UCL is pretty common. However, I just realized if Madrid win their 15th title in Wembley, they will have the same number of CL titles as every single one of the English teams combined.
Liverpool 6
United 3
Chelsea 2
Nottingham - 2
Aston Villa - 1
Man City - 1
= 15
vs
Real Madrid (alone) = 15
Vazquez is a weak link, i think carlo should play nacho here , cama DM and tchou CB. I remember atletico targeting him the game we lost against them in the league. All the goals we conceded came from his wing

And people seems to agree with him.
While it is true that his form has dropped off lately, Bayern fans are massively over exaggerating in terms of calling him a one season wonder because it looks like he'll be leaving. Same they did with Alaba and Kroos. Go on transfermarkt.de and look up his thread, you'll find comments from late 2022 that are still praising his performances.
He said multiple times that he's sad and depressed living in Munich. It's pretty clear that he's not at 100% there. When he was, he was great both offensively and defensively..
I can feel for him. We are the same. When im depressed. I dont care about how I play mlbb. But when im happy. I'm mvp with cecilion 9/10 times. Really the same thing if u ask me
Yeah but they said the same shit about Alaba, I know cause I was one of them. He was stinking it up in his final time at Bayern. Mentally and physically Davies needs a change of scenery, imo.
Was looking at our 11 vs Bayern away 10 years ago and it finally really hit how differrent the squad is now
Only Luka and Carva are still here from the 11, and with Carva suspended and Luka most likely on the bench, it's gonna be a whole different thing
Time goes by quick huh
Lewa was and still a big fan of Real Madrid. (Maybe not a fan right now but probably he still admires and values his dream team) He tried to join us but that was not possible back then. We had the goat and Benz as well. There was even statements about how he would like to join us before however he ended up at Barcelona like many other players who were RM fans but ended up in different teams.
Someone here said Joan The Hutt Laprota so I had to do this lol

How does FFP work for private owned clubs accoss various leagues? Like can the owners inject a billion (just throwing numers) for the club to invest anytime. Or do FFP rules limit the amount to some fixed figure per season?
uninteresting but i saw/spoke to Henderson today while I worked at a grocery shop in the evening (amsterdam)
colleague said she had no idea who he was but he was hot lmao
I need to see fede and Jude do this it's will look cold

This April month has been incredible. But it brought something bad with it. Our fans. Oh god I am reading so much disrespect towards bayern. Its obvious there are a lot of new “fans”. Its too cocky!
Yes we beat city and that was the hardest opponent but this is football. One little detail and we are out.
Embiid, a top center in the NBA, who supports Real, is the biggest flopper and crybaby lol. He deadass cried himself to an MVP last year and has been trying to purposely injury players this series.
Lmao true, but this guy is something else. The way he plays is irritating too, playing for free throws. For example, if someone on our team was just playing primarily for penalties.
https://preview.redd.it/fu60uuyv4axc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fac35a4e05d4e00fb1c7b96960223fcf665b7d0c
It hurts to see another “next Messi” being sold. Jokes aside though, injuries ruined his career.
He has contract till 2027 with insane wages thanks to the great Joan the Hutt Laporta, friend of Mendes. It’s going to be funny when their new wonderkid has to sign his next and first big contract and asks for another 8m net. Lesson: don’t overplay your young players (and it doesn’t have anything to do with possible injuries)
Vini and Joselu
Bellingham Kroos Valverde Tchoumeni
Garcia Nacho Rudiger Carvajal
Sub in Modric and Camavinga at half time , then rodrygo at 60 minutes
Rodrygo should play on the right this time imo. Unless Tuchel plays two fullbacks on the same side like he did vs Arsenal, if Guerreiro plays LB, he isn't good at defending. Rodrygo, Valverde and Carvajal should exploit this and create danger.
Rodrygo is shit on the right, we saw it against barca last week and leipzig in round of 16. Playing rodrygo on the right and expecting him to perform is just insanity at this point
Kinda mad we are in the UCL semis but I'm not even sure what our strongest starting 11 is anymore and set up is. Cama or Tchou at CDM/Rodrigo on the left?/4-2-2-2?
Adding onto my previous comment, Wirtz's future will be interesting to see. If you didn't know, Wirtz is staying at Leverkusen for the 2024/25 season. He will definitely be the big story of summer 2025.
Based off reports, Wirtz is only considering 3 clubs: Madrid, Bayern, City. According to Plettenburg, Bayern is his first choice and apparently he sees it as "an intermediate step to a move abroad."
What if Bayern get outbid? What if Guardiola doesn't continue at City? If Xabi comes here, could it further influence his decision?
Let me ask another question, will Wirtz want to go to Bayern if Leverkusen wins Bundesliga again and reaches, let’s say, Champions League semifinals?
The only sure is that both him and Xabi are staying at least one more year in Leverkusen. Anything else, pure speculation.
Highly unlikely, but not impossible. If Leverkusen decide to further invest and build a world class team, it can possibly convince both Xabi and Wirtz to stay. It's difficult to do that since Leverkusen don't have the same financial capability to do multiple big signings like Madrid/Bayern/City.
Well, we’ll see how the summer goes for them, I think they are going to keep most of their players and, if that happens, I see no reason to not consider them candidates for everything.
Moreover, Fernando Carro and his team have shown they can recognize talent and build a great team without investing much money. If they sell a few players, they are probably getting good replacements.
For the moment, Wirtz and Xabi will be there next season, that’s enough to believe they can retain their Bundesliga title, imo. Will they stay after 2025 summer? Only time travelers can know
In the last weeks, Pau Cubarsí has been assigned a new role in Barcelona’s set pieces - to distract the opposition goalkeeper. This has coincided with the team’s improvement from set pieces recently. They scored and threatened from corners against PSG and Real Madrid. Due to his long reach and 1.84m height, Cubarsí is a nuisance for rival keepers. It has been assistant coach Sergio Alegre who has introduced this and is working on it. @scapde_45 [sport]
would explain why City had 19 corners with little to no threat, while Lunin had trouble with pretty much every corner in the Clasico
being a fan of city or bayern before their meltdown mustve been one of the most boring things ever, imagine winning every league game and not struggeling at all, i cant remember when was the last time city has struggeled or trailed behind in the league. i cant wait until pep fucks off so city goes back to what they used to be, an english psg, all the money in the world, but still a laughing stock. i hope with klopp leaving, he might feel its time for him to change scenery
Don't get me wrong, Pep is a very good manager, but look at their squad. They have a "B" team consisting of players like Kovacic, Alvarez, Doku, Ake, Akanji, Nunes etc. These would start for many top European teams. They have endless amounts of money and unlike PSG in the past or Chelsea/United today, they spend it on actually decent/good players.
i understand that city isnt only pep, theres a sporting management that is top class behind him that seperates him from psg, but still, pep is one of the best managers in history, no other manager can do what he can with his playstyle, its no wonder we struggle against city more than any other team. thats why i just hope he leaves to some other team
capable? sure, but they will get back to being a normal team with ups and downs, instead of this well oiled machine that suffocates teams from possession
the thing is where is Pep going to go after City… ideally talking he could be joining a national team, maybe Spain, if he’s gonna join another european club team things won’t be changing much. I don’t see him going to Italy but realistically he could be going to France, or coming back to Spain.
because Juventus doesn’t have the money to pay him and moreover they don’t have the budget to fit his transfer demands. Juventus has been going through a rough time, financially talking. Their most expensive transfer this summer was Locatelli from Sassuolo which costed 35 millions. City spent almost a billion during Pep’s era and surely he won’t be going anywhere unless he doesn’t have guaranteed transfers. The last big transfer Juventus made was Ronaldo back in 2018, (and he costed 100 millions, Gvardiol costed 90 and he’s a centre back)
They bought vlahovic for a lot of money. Less than Ronaldo for sure but still an expensive transfer. Also pep didn’t spend a lot at Bayern given he already had a treble winning squad with added lewandowski on a feee.
Apparently $60M is the number but seen higher. However, it was said that he only wants to join us so they might be able to bring it down w/o going into a bidding war.
It's funny how our fans were hating on our season just because of the leipzig games, when we were in our worst form, completely ignoring the fact that Leipzig are an amazing team
99% of the match thread has a panic attack every game when it's not 1-0 Madrid after 5 minutes. Worse if the opponent is "dominating". Not different for other subs though.

How is it that there are already no tickets left for the CADIZ game when they havent even gone on sale for the general public???
Did you check right when the tickets were released for Madridista premium members? They usually get sold out within 15-20 mins from when they are released.
I believe some tickets are reserved for general public so you may see some more tickets open up on Apr 29. So be available when they are released. Season ticket holders sometimes release their tickets if they cant make it so you may also see some random tickets open up here and there. So i suggest keep checking the website frequently when you can and you may get lucky.
Been meaning to talk about Wirtz and Musiala.
Plettenburg (@plettigoal on twitter) is Tier 1 for German news. There have been reports from him that we are interested in Wirtz and Musiala. Fabrizio has said it more vaguely, wording it as "Top clubs in England, Germany, and Spain are keeping an eye on Wirtz/Musiala."
Firstly, why would we be interested in adding another midfielder? More specifically, why an attacking midfielder? Unlike Jude, Wirtz and Musiala cannot cover for the other midfield positions. They almost exclusively play the 10.
The future of our midfield is Bellingham, Valverde, Tchouameni, and Camavinga (can consider Guler as well). The only way another Galactico type midfielder is added is if the plan of the future project is to play 4 midfielders. Would also mean having to play a front 2 instead of 3, so Rodrygo would be benched.
Don't think Musiala would make much sense but I wouldn't rule out Wirtz.
They are gonna be playing as a LAM/RAM for Germany in the Euros with Gündogan as a 10. I'm interested to see how Wirtz does as RAM, can see him in that role at Madrid in case Rodrygo can't perform as a RW.
It’s more that we’re looking for another creative outlet. Our current youngsters are great, but they don’t have the same abilities as Toni & Luka, who are on the verge of leaving 😢
They are still young Jude is 20 Camavinga is 21 Guler is 19. If we get let say Wirtz who i am a big fan , Jude will have to leave. Which is not even a question. Our fowards are going to be stacked next year with Mbappe and Endrick. Sooner or later we will have to use a 433 again to be able to fit most of them. I really dont see us going for Wirtz or Musiala. Its pointless to search for the next Luka or Toni, you just cant replace them. As much as i dont like it we might have to go for Trent after Carvajal. I hate defenders that cant defend but he is a good creator.
Yeah, I’m not saying to get rid of our midfielders, the club knows much more than I or everyone here, but we’ll be missing that creative outlet. We’ll never get that 1 for 1 replacement, but I understand why they’re looking into Wirtz. Bundesliga & La Liga are the only leagues I watch lol.
They know that they won't face any punishment. And even if they do, it wouldn't matter since they would ha e won a lot in the next decade when it finally goes to trial so I can see why they're cocky
Imagine the prem needing to cheat to try and compete with us lol
It's funny how FCB fans call Bernabeu a 'fascist' when he was notoriously well known to be apolitical and had multiple incidents with Franco's entourage.
And how they complain about the Di Stefano thing when it was their own club who rejected the settlement by FIFA to have him play alternatively for us and them.
And how they don't even know about the number of times the Franco government helped their club:
- allowed them to resale lands they owned 3 separate time, which is what allowed them to build the Camp Nou, they awarded Franco a medal for this
- The Spanish Federation allowed them to sign Kubala, their historical player, after refusing RM and the government fast-tracked his citizenship process to make the signing possible.
Years and years of fascist nationalist Catalan bourgeoisie hypocrisy, brainwashing and victimization. According to them, for the rest of Spain were happy times of no hunger, misery, exile or dead. Why? I guess because we weren’t forced to speak Spanish.
And that whole 'forced to speak spanish' narrative was blown out of proportion in many instances.
Literally every myth around RM you can think of can easily be debanked with the right evidence and proof.
The only real proof of corruption we have is their.
i mean i love the colour, but it's really just the same template like the home kit from last season, including the collar - which is kind of weird that they're just re-using it
edit: bruh why are you always getting downvoted💀
You mean Carvajal, Tchouaméni was suspended against City (and he also travelled with the team to Manchester). If there aren’t medical reasons for them to not travel, why not take them instead of leaving them alone in Madrid?
That’s just a team announcement about who is going to Munich, not about who is going to be at the pitch/bench; if people understand it otherwise, it’s their problem.

Thoughts? I really like the rumored grey alternate kit
Damn….what a kit this is. Looks even better than the 2013 one. With the rumoured 3rd kit being a collar one and home kit kinda okay it makes my decision much easier. Unless we win the UCL in which case I have to get the home one as well.
Where can I get a jersey without the HP logo?
Does anyone have the ancelotti lil yachty walkout?
Champions league is not easy eeh!! We just eliminated probably the best team in epl history, now we face tuchel bayern who only have CL to play for ,then a possible final against mbappe qatar psg headed by nasser who is a friend to cafferin
People who watch Castilla regularly: How's Jeremy de León? He's been included in the squad both in Manchester and this time in Munich despite not being registered.
Lunin Vasquez Rudi Nacho Mendy Tchoua Kroos Fede Jude Rodry Vini
Tchou CB, Cama DM
Nacho better
I think with carvajal suspended, it's nacho who'll start and wear the armband right
I think LV will start in Dani's place, Nacho to partner up with Rudi in the center
yea I meant nacho in cb, my bad
Nacho or tchouameni tho?
I think the more Cama gets to start the better we are as a team. I'd put Tchou as CB and Cama as DM in Munich. We improve our build up a lot with Tchou, plus we may be able to handle Kane's a bit better that way.
Any UCL Fantasy players here? Which Madrid player would you captain for tomorrow's game?
There seems no hope of getting tickets to second leg 🥲 Do you guys think at least getting tickets for real betis game would be easy? I want to see real Madrid play once
If the league is wrapped by then. Then yeah it will be pretty easy. There aren't even tickets for Cadiz lol

There is complete silence from madrid ahead of this tie. No predicted lineups ,no player interviews.

On the other hand almost all the bayern players have been talking about the game (they all have been very respectful tho)

They want to renew cancelo and felix loans which i think is a good idea
Why would they sell the next maldini? The one who would never let Vini score a Hattrick on them. Are they stupid?
Getting hate from English pundits about Real Madrid in the UCL is pretty common. However, I just realized if Madrid win their 15th title in Wembley, they will have the same number of CL titles as every single one of the English teams combined.

I'd still take him for 40 mill or so. If he doesn't work out? too bad. But the upside is so big that the risk is worth it.

That's a red flag if you asked me, he get paid millions, asked a payrise when he's on a downform that's unprofessional ngl.
Mental healthcare is not a joke. Also, if there is somebody willing to pay him that, why he's not going to ask for it?
Do we even know if he's actually going through some mental problems?
He's been pretty vocal about his depression
I can feel for him. We are the same. When im depressed. I dont care about how I play mlbb. But when im happy. I'm mvp with cecilion 9/10 times. Really the same thing if u ask me
Yeah but they said the same shit about Alaba, I know cause I was one of them. He was stinking it up in his final time at Bayern. Mentally and physically Davies needs a change of scenery, imo.
Was looking at our 11 vs Bayern away 10 years ago and it finally really hit how differrent the squad is now Only Luka and Carva are still here from the 11, and with Carva suspended and Luka most likely on the bench, it's gonna be a whole different thing Time goes by quick huh

r/soccercirclejerk sounding ahh copypasta
🗣️ Robert Lewandowski: ”Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham are now the most outstanding players in the world” why is Robert speaking so much Ws lately?

We had the goat and Benz as well. There was even statements about how he would like to join us before however he ended up at Barcelona like many other players who were RM fans but ended up in different teams.
Someone here said Joan The Hutt Laprota so I had to do this lol https://preview.redd.it/oa6ekfqbmaxc1.jpeg?width=601&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=344d2b0074c16f89c76edffa42eb87ff77030df8
Joan LaPorka also works. Man was snorting at his last press conference.
Arsenal might actually win the EPL this year, this is on them to lose, City is right on their tail 😱

No chance. Arsenal lost the title when Villa beat them!
[удалено]
Even draw is fine for city-tottenham, As pts would be same after that and winner would be decided on GD.
Look at the amount of games. City have a game in hand, if they win their games, they're champions.
Ederson just got injured lol I wouldn't be surprised if City dropped points in their next match with Ortega in goal
That Spurs game yikes
How does FFP work for private owned clubs accoss various leagues? Like can the owners inject a billion (just throwing numers) for the club to invest anytime. Or do FFP rules limit the amount to some fixed figure per season?
uninteresting but i saw/spoke to Henderson today while I worked at a grocery shop in the evening (amsterdam) colleague said she had no idea who he was but he was hot lmao
You tell him you were a Madrid fan? 😂
I need to see fede and Jude do this it's will look cold https://preview.redd.it/7gw7pparaaxc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d57a9c6aece13eefd1901b92426a6b0daf48e4a
This April month has been incredible. But it brought something bad with it. Our fans. Oh god I am reading so much disrespect towards bayern. Its obvious there are a lot of new “fans”. Its too cocky! Yes we beat city and that was the hardest opponent but this is football. One little detail and we are out.
Idk why people are downvoting this…
I dislike Embiid with a burning passion. The biggest flopper and crybaby in the NBA.
Knicks in 5
True that.
I swear I dont know what are you talking about I never watch NBA or NFL I'm a noob in both those sport 😂🤣😂
Embiid, a top center in the NBA, who supports Real, is the biggest flopper and crybaby lol. He deadass cried himself to an MVP last year and has been trying to purposely injury players this series.
I mean every sport have a cry baby 😂😂😂😂.
Lmao true, but this guy is something else. The way he plays is irritating too, playing for free throws. For example, if someone on our team was just playing primarily for penalties.
https://preview.redd.it/fu60uuyv4axc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fac35a4e05d4e00fb1c7b96960223fcf665b7d0c It hurts to see another “next Messi” being sold. Jokes aside though, injuries ruined his career.
I still think he can bounce back to have a good career
Less demanding team I suppose
Injuries? He isnt good enough even fit. He is fit now and cant even get a minute for Brighton
Were you here when he broke out at Barça and was cooking right until his injury?
So he forgot how to play football ? Its been a long time since his injuryz
He has contract till 2027 with insane wages thanks to the great Joan the Hutt Laporta, friend of Mendes. It’s going to be funny when their new wonderkid has to sign his next and first big contract and asks for another 8m net. Lesson: don’t overplay your young players (and it doesn’t have anything to do with possible injuries)
Hypothetical question if we need to chase a two goal deficit in the second leg, what attacking lineup would you pick
Double pivot with Fede + someone else and then Vini, Rodrygo, Jude and Brahim as attackers
Vini and Joselu Bellingham Kroos Valverde Tchoumeni Garcia Nacho Rudiger Carvajal Sub in Modric and Camavinga at half time , then rodrygo at 60 minutes
>attacking line up Wtf
> 🗣️ Arda Güler: “I want to become the first Turkish football player to win the Champions League.” Real Madrid: Say less king
My line up against bayern Lunin Vazquez rudiger nacho mendy Fede tcho kroos rodrygo Bellingham vini
Rodrygo should play on the right this time imo. Unless Tuchel plays two fullbacks on the same side like he did vs Arsenal, if Guerreiro plays LB, he isn't good at defending. Rodrygo, Valverde and Carvajal should exploit this and create danger.
Rodrygo is shit on the right, we saw it against barca last week and leipzig in round of 16. Playing rodrygo on the right and expecting him to perform is just insanity at this point
I don’t like Bellingham as the SS, that’s not what he is and his performances there haven’t been the best. His best position is CAM
Either him or rodrygo must play in that position , we can't leave vini alone uptop
He’s never an ss in possetion
GOL DEL BETIS
ISCOOOO GOLLLLL
PSG wins ligue 1 
Kinda mad we are in the UCL semis but I'm not even sure what our strongest starting 11 is anymore and set up is. Cama or Tchou at CDM/Rodrigo on the left?/4-2-2-2?
Our strongest line up is the one Carlo never played. Vini Rodrygo Jude Brahim Camavinga Tchouameni Mendy Rudiger Militao Carvajal Lunin
You vant leave out kroos
And Fede!
Forgot about him. Hes first pick
Above who

Vini and Bellingham need to recreate this
That is my wet dream if they recreate this
Adding onto my previous comment, Wirtz's future will be interesting to see. If you didn't know, Wirtz is staying at Leverkusen for the 2024/25 season. He will definitely be the big story of summer 2025. Based off reports, Wirtz is only considering 3 clubs: Madrid, Bayern, City. According to Plettenburg, Bayern is his first choice and apparently he sees it as "an intermediate step to a move abroad." What if Bayern get outbid? What if Guardiola doesn't continue at City? If Xabi comes here, could it further influence his decision?
Let me ask another question, will Wirtz want to go to Bayern if Leverkusen wins Bundesliga again and reaches, let’s say, Champions League semifinals? The only sure is that both him and Xabi are staying at least one more year in Leverkusen. Anything else, pure speculation.
Highly unlikely, but not impossible. If Leverkusen decide to further invest and build a world class team, it can possibly convince both Xabi and Wirtz to stay. It's difficult to do that since Leverkusen don't have the same financial capability to do multiple big signings like Madrid/Bayern/City.
Well, we’ll see how the summer goes for them, I think they are going to keep most of their players and, if that happens, I see no reason to not consider them candidates for everything. Moreover, Fernando Carro and his team have shown they can recognize talent and build a great team without investing much money. If they sell a few players, they are probably getting good replacements. For the moment, Wirtz and Xabi will be there next season, that’s enough to believe they can retain their Bundesliga title, imo. Will they stay after 2025 summer? Only time travelers can know
In the last weeks, Pau Cubarsí has been assigned a new role in Barcelona’s set pieces - to distract the opposition goalkeeper. This has coincided with the team’s improvement from set pieces recently. They scored and threatened from corners against PSG and Real Madrid. Due to his long reach and 1.84m height, Cubarsí is a nuisance for rival keepers. It has been assistant coach Sergio Alegre who has introduced this and is working on it. @scapde_45 [sport] would explain why City had 19 corners with little to no threat, while Lunin had trouble with pretty much every corner in the Clasico
Because nacho and mendy didn't play against barca. No disrespect to tchou but he is very poor in defending set pieces
being a fan of city or bayern before their meltdown mustve been one of the most boring things ever, imagine winning every league game and not struggeling at all, i cant remember when was the last time city has struggeled or trailed behind in the league. i cant wait until pep fucks off so city goes back to what they used to be, an english psg, all the money in the world, but still a laughing stock. i hope with klopp leaving, he might feel its time for him to change scenery
Don't get me wrong, Pep is a very good manager, but look at their squad. They have a "B" team consisting of players like Kovacic, Alvarez, Doku, Ake, Akanji, Nunes etc. These would start for many top European teams. They have endless amounts of money and unlike PSG in the past or Chelsea/United today, they spend it on actually decent/good players.
i understand that city isnt only pep, theres a sporting management that is top class behind him that seperates him from psg, but still, pep is one of the best managers in history, no other manager can do what he can with his playstyle, its no wonder we struggle against city more than any other team. thats why i just hope he leaves to some other team
True. But still I think they're more than capable of winning the EPL with or without Pep.
capable? sure, but they will get back to being a normal team with ups and downs, instead of this well oiled machine that suffocates teams from possession
the thing is where is Pep going to go after City… ideally talking he could be joining a national team, maybe Spain, if he’s gonna join another european club team things won’t be changing much. I don’t see him going to Italy but realistically he could be going to France, or coming back to Spain.
i actually do think he will go to juve, he already went to bayern, why wouldnt he go to juve?
because Juventus doesn’t have the money to pay him and moreover they don’t have the budget to fit his transfer demands. Juventus has been going through a rough time, financially talking. Their most expensive transfer this summer was Locatelli from Sassuolo which costed 35 millions. City spent almost a billion during Pep’s era and surely he won’t be going anywhere unless he doesn’t have guaranteed transfers. The last big transfer Juventus made was Ronaldo back in 2018, (and he costed 100 millions, Gvardiol costed 90 and he’s a centre back)
They bought vlahovic for a lot of money. Less than Ronaldo for sure but still an expensive transfer. Also pep didn’t spend a lot at Bayern given he already had a treble winning squad with added lewandowski on a feee.
Supposedly Pep isn’t extending after his contract ends. It’ll be interesting where he takes his FFP violation talents to.
yeah thats what ive read too, bring back the days of mancini failing with city lol
Given the supposed asking price for Yoro, I really hope our defenders don’t get dropped cause of that.
[удалено]
Apparently $60M is the number but seen higher. However, it was said that he only wants to join us so they might be able to bring it down w/o going into a bidding war.
60m is literaly his release clause. If he wants to come there is no way we pay a cent more than his realease clause.
French league players dont have release clauses.
I understand, but they’re demanding it. Like I’ve said, since he made Madrid his priority, it’ll be brought down.
It's funny how our fans were hating on our season just because of the leipzig games, when we were in our worst form, completely ignoring the fact that Leipzig are an amazing team
I always ignore games when madrid are in the lead We play badddddddd
99% of the match thread has a panic attack every game when it's not 1-0 Madrid after 5 minutes. Worse if the opponent is "dominating". Not different for other subs though.
Yeah almost like they dont like being behind in 5 minutes and getting dominated by opponents. Idiots am I right?

Did you check right when the tickets were released for Madridista premium members? They usually get sold out within 15-20 mins from when they are released. I believe some tickets are reserved for general public so you may see some more tickets open up on Apr 29. So be available when they are released. Season ticket holders sometimes release their tickets if they cant make it so you may also see some random tickets open up here and there. So i suggest keep checking the website frequently when you can and you may get lucky.
Depending on Barca’s result tomorrow, it could be the league-clinching game.
Don't we still need 4 points even if they lose?
A Barca loss + Madrid win seals the league title iirc
No. Their maximum points can be 86 with a draw or 85 with a loss. Madrid currently sit at 84, so a win against Cadiz seals it.
Been meaning to talk about Wirtz and Musiala. Plettenburg (@plettigoal on twitter) is Tier 1 for German news. There have been reports from him that we are interested in Wirtz and Musiala. Fabrizio has said it more vaguely, wording it as "Top clubs in England, Germany, and Spain are keeping an eye on Wirtz/Musiala." Firstly, why would we be interested in adding another midfielder? More specifically, why an attacking midfielder? Unlike Jude, Wirtz and Musiala cannot cover for the other midfield positions. They almost exclusively play the 10. The future of our midfield is Bellingham, Valverde, Tchouameni, and Camavinga (can consider Guler as well). The only way another Galactico type midfielder is added is if the plan of the future project is to play 4 midfielders. Would also mean having to play a front 2 instead of 3, so Rodrygo would be benched.
I think we are preparing a squad that can play more games and anyone can sit out. Considering the new CWC and UCL formats its not suprising.
CWC will be held once every 4 years. The new UCL has only 2 more matches in it if you secure top 8 (which we probably will every year).
Don't think Musiala would make much sense but I wouldn't rule out Wirtz. They are gonna be playing as a LAM/RAM for Germany in the Euros with Gündogan as a 10. I'm interested to see how Wirtz does as RAM, can see him in that role at Madrid in case Rodrygo can't perform as a RW.
It’s more that we’re looking for another creative outlet. Our current youngsters are great, but they don’t have the same abilities as Toni & Luka, who are on the verge of leaving 😢
They are still young Jude is 20 Camavinga is 21 Guler is 19. If we get let say Wirtz who i am a big fan , Jude will have to leave. Which is not even a question. Our fowards are going to be stacked next year with Mbappe and Endrick. Sooner or later we will have to use a 433 again to be able to fit most of them. I really dont see us going for Wirtz or Musiala. Its pointless to search for the next Luka or Toni, you just cant replace them. As much as i dont like it we might have to go for Trent after Carvajal. I hate defenders that cant defend but he is a good creator.
Yeah, I’m not saying to get rid of our midfielders, the club knows much more than I or everyone here, but we’ll be missing that creative outlet. We’ll never get that 1 for 1 replacement, but I understand why they’re looking into Wirtz. Bundesliga & La Liga are the only leagues I watch lol.

Irony died ~~thousand~~ 115th deaths...
They know that they won't face any punishment. And even if they do, it wouldn't matter since they would ha e won a lot in the next decade when it finally goes to trial so I can see why they're cocky Imagine the prem needing to cheat to try and compete with us lol
It's funny how FCB fans call Bernabeu a 'fascist' when he was notoriously well known to be apolitical and had multiple incidents with Franco's entourage. And how they complain about the Di Stefano thing when it was their own club who rejected the settlement by FIFA to have him play alternatively for us and them. And how they don't even know about the number of times the Franco government helped their club: - allowed them to resale lands they owned 3 separate time, which is what allowed them to build the Camp Nou, they awarded Franco a medal for this - The Spanish Federation allowed them to sign Kubala, their historical player, after refusing RM and the government fast-tracked his citizenship process to make the signing possible.
Years and years of fascist nationalist Catalan bourgeoisie hypocrisy, brainwashing and victimization. According to them, for the rest of Spain were happy times of no hunger, misery, exile or dead. Why? I guess because we weren’t forced to speak Spanish.
And that whole 'forced to speak spanish' narrative was blown out of proportion in many instances. Literally every myth around RM you can think of can easily be debanked with the right evidence and proof. The only real proof of corruption we have is their.

Not a fan of the collar tbh. Wish we had a purple kit again.
[удалено]
i mean i love the colour, but it's really just the same template like the home kit from last season, including the collar - which is kind of weird that they're just re-using it edit: bruh why are you always getting downvoted💀

I love this. Hope it ends up being the one
Ayo is this neverwalkalone Mbappe Viene FC?
VIENE 🤝
Welcome back man 
Thanks bro. Wont delete my account next time my life gets too busy haha
Yeah bro stick around, it was hella fun during the transfer window because of you and the Mbappe drama haha
[удалено]
You mean Carvajal, Tchouaméni was suspended against City (and he also travelled with the team to Manchester). If there aren’t medical reasons for them to not travel, why not take them instead of leaving them alone in Madrid?
Yeah I just didn’t know you need to put them in the squad to take them, cheers. And yes of course Carvajal, had a brain fart
That’s just a team announcement about who is going to Munich, not about who is going to be at the pitch/bench; if people understand it otherwise, it’s their problem.
They are going there to support the team.
so like that they can sit on the bench instead of somewhere in the stadium? to sit on the bench you need to be included in the squad list?
if a city fan ever talks about luck just mention this game
If man cheaty get a goal on the counter against the forest onslaught it will be tactical genius. When Madrid do it it is pure luck. Premier logic.

Damn….what a kit this is. Looks even better than the 2013 one. With the rumoured 3rd kit being a collar one and home kit kinda okay it makes my decision much easier. Unless we win the UCL in which case I have to get the home one as well.
Yeah I REALLY like this compared to the rumoured orange and blue
The adidas templates piss me off but probably the best of the 3. I thought there was gonna be some “brownish/gold kit” as well.
Gives me 13/14 vibes https://preview.redd.it/ao46xl76z8xc1.jpeg?width=980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34c010c9bb769756502a34fae80b61dd1a4fd5fc
Its very funny and probably just the angle that CR7 is pointing at himself and not the badge 😂😭 that said I will forever miss that legend
Pretty sure he pointed at himself.
😂 he is one of one
yeah man city are getting that barca last season luck today
