🔙 Back in February 2016, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid were preparing for a derby.
A few days before the match, Guti was at a bookmaker’s event and was asked which Atlético player could start for Real Madrid. He didn’t hold back:
“I’d find it very hard to, to be honest. I can’t think of any Atlético player who would make it into the Real Madrid team right now.”
💪 Atlético took note, used it as motivation, and that weekend won 1–0 at the Bernabéu.
After the game, Diego Godín responded with class:
“I was taught to be respectful and humble, and especially not arrogant. Anyone who wants to can follow that advice, but I’d appreciate it if everyone respected the Atlético players the way we respect Guti and the Real Madrid players.”
A reminder of the mentality that defined him.
In addition to scoring a hat-trick from 3 shots, Valverde also has the most tackles of anyone on the field and hasn't allowed Trent to be isolated vs Doku at all. Build this man statue.

Payet is not a streets won’t forget player, he’s so ridiculously above that. The bloke got nominated for the ballon d’or while playing for West Ham for fuck sake
Crystal Palace have spent MORE in January 2026 than Real Madrid have in 23 years worth of January windows with Florentino Pérez as Club President 😳🤯
We don't know what it is, but there's definitely something Real Madrid don't like about making big moves in the winter 👀❌💰
