my open letter to real madrid:
dear @realmadrid,
as another season approaches, i would like to formally renew my membership as a loyal servant, emotional hostage, and occasional victim of this football club.
i pledge my full support to you once again. i will watch the games, defend you when necessary, complain when deserved, celebrate every goal like we just won the champions league, and somehow convince myself that this is our year before october even arrives.
but gentlemen of this great club, please, do us proud. we remember last season. we remember the trophyless campaign. we remember the pain, the disappointment, and the endless “next season” speeches. we have suffered enough. we cannot be out here explaining to rival fans why real madrid are “rebuilding” while they parade trophies around our faces. and please, whatever you do, do not let affliction rise the third time.
we are real madrid. we are not supposed to be spectators at the trophy ceremony. we are supposed to be the reason everyone else is crying after it. so this season, i expect the badge to be represented properly. i expect hunger. i expect mentality. i expect nights where europe remembers exactly who we are.
remind them. remind everyone who real madrid truly are. bring home the league. bring home the champions league. bring home whatever trophy is foolish enough to stand in our way. and if things start going badly, please remember that millions of us have already invested our mental health in this club. have some consideration. 😭
i remain your loyal supporter, regardless of the ups and downs, and one thing will forever remain unchanged: hala madrid y nada mas. 🤍
🚨 José Mourinho already has SIX untouchable starters in mind for his preferred 4-2-3-1:
🇫🇷 Kylian Mbappé — ST
🇨🇮 Yan Diomandé — LW/RW
🇧🇷 Vinícius Jr — LW/RW
🏴 Jude Bellingham — No.10
🇪🇸 Marc Cucurella — LB
🇧🇪 Thibaut Courtois — GK
Tchouaméni, Bernardo Silva and Valverde will fight for two midfield spots, while Huijsen, Konaté and Rüdiger compete at centre-back until Militão returns.
Dumfries and Trent will battle it out for the right-back position.

I think it's normal enough that pretty privilege is a thing but treating it as an entitlement? Doesn't that practically reinforce all that feminism has been cancelling?
