🚨🎙 Eden Hazard on his time at Real Madrid:
“Going to Real Madrid was supposed to be the dream, yeah? But for me, it turned into one of the biggest mistakes of my career… maybe even my life.
At Chelsea, I was loved. Properly loved. The fans, the system, everything was built for me to enjoy football. And I walked away from that thinking the grass was greener, it wasn’t. Not even close.
At Real Madrid, you don’t get time, you don’t get patience. One bad game and you feel it. Two bad games and you’re finished. People talk about pressure, but it’s different when the club already has legends in your position and you’re expected to replace magic overnight. I don’t think people understand that.
Do I regret leaving Chelsea? Yeah… I do. Because I left a place where I was happy for a place where I was constantly trying to prove I belonged. And in football, once you start chasing acceptance instead of enjoying your game, you’re already losing.
People can say what they want, but if I could go back… I would’ve stayed. Simple as that.”
Estêvão is the first teenager to be directly involved in 10+ goals across all competitions for a Premier League side this season.
◉ Premier League: ⚽⚽🅰️🅰️
◉ UCL: ⚽⚽⚽
◉ FA Cup: ⚽⚽🅰️
◉ EFL Cup: ⚽
He's scored in every competition he's played in for the Blues. 💫
🚨🇧🇷 Liam Rosenior on Estevão: “There is no ceiling for him. We've missed him”.
“He comes in and just plays, he wants to get on the ball. Wherever he is on the pitch he's a threat”.
Thierry Henry: "Let Estevao cook, let him play. We need to enjoy this type of players in this type of games. It doesn't have to be scripted all the time. You wouldn't like to play against him because he's coming at you all the time, he's coming at you the whole game, whether he's having a good game or not a good game. He's trying to test you all the time and see if you're going to stop him or not."
Oscar has announced his retirement at 34 after being diagnosed with a fainting condition.

🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪? Back in 2020, Barcelona sold Marc Cucurella to Getafe for just €12M… opting to keep Junior Firpo instead. 😬

🔸 Became one of the standout full-backs at Brighton, earning a big-money transfer
🔸 Signed for Chelsea for €65M 💰
🔸 Established himself as Spain’s first-choice left-back and won EURO 2024 🇪🇸
🔸 Lifted the Club World Cup and the Conference League
🔸 MOTM vs. Barcelona in the Champions League after shutting down Lamine Yamal. 😳🔥

What a sliding doors moment.
