🚨Zinedine Zidane on Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich:
“In 2017, I spent a lot of time speaking with Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. That connection gave them belief—it lifted their confidence before that iconic moment. And with Ronaldo, when you believe in him, he delivers. He proved it over both legs.
When you face Bayern Munich in the Champions League—home or away—you need a real leader, a point man. That’s something Real Madrid have been missing recently.
Now, too many players are focused on individual recognition. Everyone wants to be the Ballon d’Or favourite. When players stop sacrificing for each other, you lose your edge.
And against a side like Bayern, who are strong and disciplined this season, that mentality can cost you.”
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
🗣️🚨 Toni Kroos on El Clasico:
"Iñigo Martínez was a key player. Last season, he was the best defender in terms of build-up play. He’s not the fastest, but he’s excellent defensively and in playing out from the back.
"Against Real Madrid, his absence was painfully felt under their intense pressing. His absence made a big impact."
