🚨 Florentino Pérez: “We shouldn't go crazy. This idea that you can win a Champions League every year is ridiculous”.
“Winning six in 10 years is something no one has ever done”.
@Pontifex That’s exactly why they are good at writing my emails, working with excel, writing some basic code etc. it’s a wonderful tool to get some jobs done without overthinking.
Jorge Jesus! That’s the answer for Real Madrids questions! Dude is highly experienced for one. Second, he has a track record of managing big ego players in Al Hilal and now Al Nassr. If he can manage Ronaldo and take Al Nassr to win the league, then he can verywell manage Madrid
🚨 Álvaro Arbeloa has 7 Real Madrid academy players on the pitch right now:
🇪🇸 Dani Carvajal
🇪🇸 Fran García
🇪🇸 Gonzalo García
🇪🇸 Manuel Ángel
🇪🇸 Diego Aguado
🇪🇸 Daniel Yáñez
🇪🇸 César Palacios
We’re not talking about it that much not because “We no get motion” but because we’re “JADED”.
One disadvantage of being a fan of Real Madrid is that we’ve experienced so many elite moments that things which amaze the rest of the football world sometimes feel common to us.
I’ve seen Rodrygo score a hat-trick on his UCL debut against Galatasaray.
I’ve seen Vini score a hat-trick against Dortmund.
I watched Karim Benzema score a hat-trick against PSG in March 2022. The next month, April, he scored another hat-trick against Chelsea, and the month after that he scored a brace against Man City. Ramadan Karim>>>>>
And then there’s Cristiano Ronaldo with hat-tricks against clubs like Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich, Atl Madrid, and Juventus
Kylian Mbappé even scored a hat-trick against Man City last season.
Real Madrid have made so many comebacks that comebacks have become normal to us. The whole football world calls us the ‘Kings of comebacks’.
There’s no category of goal I haven’t seen a Madrid player score.
Is it Sergio Ramos’ 93rd-minute header in the Champions League final?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s overhead kick?
Gareth Bale’s brace in the UCL final against Liverpool F.C. or his famous solo run against FC Barcelona?
Zidane's stunning left-footed volley?
Rodrygo’s late goals against Manchester City F.C.?
Vini's nutmeg goal against City?
Federico Valverde’s rocket against Napoli?
Or Casemiro scoring past Buffon?
The list is endless.
Real Madrid have spoiled their fans with so much success that any season we don’t win the UEFA Champions League feels like a bad season.
So expecting Madrid fans to start shouting on Twitter because Federico Valverde scored a hat-trick against Man City is like expecting Elon Musk to be happy that you followed him on this app while nah him get the app!
🚨 Alvaro Arbeloa: "Comparing this season to the 2016 CL? No, no, we just won a game.
We're not even through to the next round yet, we just won a game.
At this club, you celebrate winning trophies, not winning games."
There is a saying that you’ll never be lost if you don’t know where you’re going. Madrid is like that tonight. We don’t know what we’re doing and because of that Benfica has no clue what we’re gonna do 😂 pure unpredictability. As long as we are winning, this is a valid strategy
🚨🚨 Kylian Mbappé: "I will tell you the FULL STORY of what happened:
Vinicius scored, and what a goal! He celebrated.
Then the fans booed. These things happen, they happen, and they will happen in football.
Then there was a tense moment with the Benfica players. It's best if things don't escalate further, but that's also possible, because, as you know, it's the Champions League, the best club competition in the world, and ultimately, it's natural for everyone to want to win, to give their all for their fans, for their club, to defend their team.
There was player number 25 from Benfica—I don't want to mention his name, he doesn't deserve it—who started speaking rudely and saying insults.
That's also unacceptable, but it happens in football and it will always happen. Then he put his shirt down here and said "M*NKEY, M*NKEY, M*NKEY, M*NKEY, M*NKEY" .
I heard him say it, and some Benfica players heard him too, and then everything you saw started.
I have the utmost respect for Benfica and their coach, who is one of the best in history and who made history with Real Madrid, but in my opinion, this player doesn't deserve to play in the Champions League anymore.
It's a great honor to play in the Champions League, the most prestigious competition. I think everyone here is incredibly excited about the Champions League. Of course, I'm excited as a player, it excites people, especially children. We have to be good role models for young people because if we let things like this go unnoticed, I think all the values of football will lose their meaning, everything we believe in will lose its value, and we have to be something of value."
🚨 José Mourinho: "Vini should've gone and celebrated with his teammates, not in the faces of 60,000 people.
He's an incredible player, I love him. But if you score like that, you should go and celebrate with your teammates."
