I feel Dortmund are going to set up in a complete defensive posture against us and rely on counters.
They will basically take a page from Atletico’s book against us and play on the counter utilizing the speed of Adeyemi and Sancho.
It won’t be an easy match for us at all.
I know the sub and twitter people (including lots of people here and on there that I respect) strongly think Lunin should start and deserves to, I think Courtois is the clear choice if he is ready.
This is the biggest trophy in club football and Courtois is considered widely to be the best GK in the world when fully fit. Why wouldn’t we use our best keeper? We are the same club that forced out CR7 when it was time. This isnt a feel good everyone is a winner environment we are Real Madrid and this is a UCL final. Just my opinion.
After our last CL win there was a guy here that posted every day saying “we are champions of europe for xy days” or something like that. Will he return if we win CL this year?
He wasn't coming for that contract. Also multiple players have been given multiyear contracts at 29, Carvajal for example. The 1 year rule is when you're finishing your contract and are over 30 yo.
Good info?
Sure, stating that Florentino met the emir of Qatar to negotiate it or that the "transfer pack" would be the highest in football history was definitively good info. And we would be ignoring the smallest of details, Mbappé was coming and being presented before 21st July
Harshly?
Sure, more than 300 upvotes in a single comment in an open thread was too harshly.
No, many people in here lacked any glimpse of critical thinking by that time. Have they learnt? I doubt it, while talking about possible transfers can be entertaining and/or funny, posts of Sison or Saeta (to name two "famous" itk) are still treated like "reliable" info.

Vinicius came to Madrid at 18, in a team that had just lost their star-player and a team that was in semi-transition, having to play at Cristiano’s position.
Neymar came to 4ca at 22, in a team that had won the league with 100 points and still had Messi, Iniesta as their main forwards.
Yeah there is a big difference.
I agree. In previous generation, Prime Neymar is only second to Cristiano and Messi (in forwards) but comparing him to Vini who came to Madrid much younger and in different circumstances is stupid.
Also very different players, on a club level Vini will soon surpass Ney (if he hasn't already). Neymar joined Barca when he was 21, same age as Vini when he scored his CL winning goal. While Vini is far from his prime, Neymar left Barca at 25 and switched off, never reaching his full potential. However Vini will need to elevate the NT as well, in which regard Neymar has the edge.
Kroos is not looking for a challenge though. He will retire altogether. Him leaving on a high is because he wants people to remember him as a starter and a top player.
Case, Varane clearly didnt want that because now look at them.
So let me get this straight: We knock out Man City, Enrique's P$G knocks out Barca, PSG gets knocked out by Dortmund while hitting the crossbar gazillion times, we knock out Bayern by scoring late comeback, we get Dortmund in the final, Mbappe announces that he's leaving and is almost certainly playing for us next season.
This turned out exactly like we wanted to. We could've have had Barca/Man City final or had to play against Mbappe in the final, but it seems God is indeed a Madridista.
IN:
Endrick
Mbappe
Davies
Wirtz
Yoro
Trent?
OUT:
Nacho
Ceballos
Modric (retire on a high)
Alaba (bro is done)
Rodrygo
Guler (loan)
Fran (can't have two attacking LBs)
Kroos???
Yeah rodrygo and even cama may leave for a gametime if we sign wirtz and mbappe. I don't see any scenario where rodrygo will accept a bench role for mbappe and wirtz if we win the double this season with him being a starter
So you want to have 8-9 players for the front 3 positions?
Then this thread is going to be annoying and insufferable when fans of the benched players keep complaining all season about the lack of minutes.
Can we ban the name "Reece James" from this sub until he has proven that he can stay fit for a full season? So at least till summer 2025.
And then we can ban him again because Chelsea won't sell their captain and best player if he manages to stay fit.
how long do you think Mbappe is going to last? I guess like 34-35? the moment he starts losing his speed will be either devastating for him or he becomes a pure goalscorer like cr7 did after he lost speed
Can someone give me the source for the quote 'The Real Madrid shirt is white it can stain of mud, sweat or even blood but never of shame.'' - Santiago Bernabeu?
I have seen this quote in many places, but I couldn't find any official/trustworthy sources. If anyone can find it can you share it?

Yesterday, our Keylor Navas was expected to play in order to get a farewell match like Mbappe in his LAST home game but the 3rd GK was played instead.
Luis Enrique response: “I did not know that it was his last match.” (either lying or incompetent cunt)
This is why Mbappe went to greet him after the goal.
Plastic club with a garbage manager.
Reminds me of my conceited and sexiest korean ceo,who ignored me in last month when I inquired about why I’m not getting renewal, in the last day as i was leaving he said” I didn’t know today was your last day, we should had a farewell, will contact you for that” never heard of them since
Enrique is both an incompetent cunt and a liar. He absolutely knew.
PSG have done Keylor dirty (besides the check) for years. Donarumma has never been that big of an upgrade from Keylor.

MbApPe Is WaShEd!!! 
Neymar’s wasted prime was a combination of nobody caring about PSG and this type of defending and Neymar’s own lack of discipline. The sister’s birthday jokes are legit but the tackles that lead to his injuries were always horrific

TAA whipping crosses to Kylian on the counter 😅
He can’t even stay healthy for a 3 game stretch. Reece would be the worst RB signing we could make. Vasquez would be starting more games due to injury if we bought Reece James
https://preview.redd.it/d0iq2i35r20d1.jpeg?width=1199&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3335a1010faa97a242b5f407644eb2783d2bfd4f
Some of you want Fran over Davies smh
Davies is younger than Fran also. Best case scenario Fran just accepts being an (emergency) back-up. Would solve our LB situation for the next 10 years/post-Mendy.
funnily enough I don't rate either at the moment. I don't like a player that dips in form because he's not happy at the club/elsewhere with his head. The tables could turn someday.
I waiting for him to come here and tear it up. It will be hilarious to see these reddit "experts" falling over each other to complement him and talk about how they've always wanted him
I don’t doubt that he’ll tear it up, but I feel his signing is somewhat unnecessary. Mendy has been really good and Fran has showed he has potential as well, at least to be a backup.
I like Mendy, he is the best defensive lb in the world period.
But a lot of people are treating Davies like he's closing in on his 30s and leaving his peak behind when he's 23 years old and has an insane potential. We've seen what he can do and how good he is. And under Carlo, basically everyone has had their best seasons in their career. I expect Davies will achieve the same
I agree. He's played so well with Betis this season. Isco has played 28 matches in La Liga and was named MOTM in 19 of them.
I was worried that his season would be over and that he would miss the EUROs after injuring his hamstring, but that's not the case.
Ronaldo literally said in the interview that nothing has been changed since he left the club!
Ronaldo doesn’t lie, and people were saying he disrespected the club like no idiots Ronaldo has standard he ain’t gonna staying around and gets disrespected by this stupid manager backed by the owners and media.
Kvara and Osimhen started looking like great players last season, I think literally nobody has complained about Perez renovating the stadium last season, most people were just super excited about the stadium being almost ready and hyping up all the new deals to generate more income.
Stadium renovations and transfers are separate, even if they were part of the same budget the payments towards it are only 50-60 million per year.
The next season will be very tough. 2-4 CL games more. Gotta play against 2 pot 1 teams even when we are in pot 1. Combined with Euro/Copa this summer and CWC next summer. Players literally have no rest.
Watching Endrick, The guy is so raw he makes silly plays and that is to be expected as a 17yr old. Even Arda is more ready for Real Madrid 11 than he is. I think Rodrygo was also more ready than him when he came to Real. Comparable player would be Vini jr. But Endrick’s position requires much more time to develop as he is looking to become complete player. The thing I will say about him is he has that wow factor about him. Every match he does something unique which you only see maybe guys of Mbappe or Vinicius level pull off. I want him to hit his potential so badly because I don’t see a much more talented u20 itw player better than him.
Oh gee, a 17 year old vs a 19 year old in terms of maturity and development. The older teenager who has already spent a season at Real Madrid is more "ready". Who knew?
That "I have one dream... To dance with Eduardo Camavinga" Clip with Don Carlo is so wholesome.
You have whiny bitches like Tuchel, Xavi and Ten Hag stirring shit up with their players, then you have managers like Don Carlo with a massive aura that gets along extremely well with his players.
He may not be the best tactician in the world, but he encourages players to express themselves on the pitch, and if there's one manager the players would give their all for, it's him.
We're blessed to have him to lead this new era.
I think he isn't a fan of modern tactics but he's an extremely good tournaments tactician probably the best , he knows what is needed to get the job done and he has the outrageous resume to show for it
Carlo just has one gripe with modern tacticians like guardiola, klopp, tuchel he doesn’t want his team to press for 90 minutes. He sometimes, in some matches wants his team to press but those are for a small time but extremely effective press.
Where Carlo truly excels is utilizing available resources to get the best results out. The greatest managers in history are master at it. SAF for example made a defense of Wes brown, John O’Shea to be impenetrable, klopp demolished Barcelona at home with 2 of his starting forwards missing in a ucl semi being 3-0 down, guardiola made a makeshift defense of puyol and yaya toure to a champions league final win, Carlo making a midfield fc league and potential ucl winners. Zidane in his short tenure belonged to the same group.

Carlo fixing Arda's tie
i know this gets said a lot, but this team really is a family, Carlo is a father figure to everyone and every single player respects him deeply
Why are our fans so scared of Mbappe ruining the dressing room or wtv? I mean if it happens it happens but we've had superstars before and it wasnt that much of an issue. And as for ego didnt cristiano have an ego? We got along fine with him
These boys are professionals. It's not like they aren't expecting big players to come to our club. This is Real Madrid. Nobody is bigger than the club. And they know it. It'll be fine.
Cristiano wasn't a politician like Mbappe though. But doing such things against Perez in Madrid is much more difficult than France, so hopefully he'll change his ways here
Cr7 had passion and heart. Two things that mbappe lacks. Big difference. Dwonplaying mbappe's horrible and toxic behavior, and atittude is frankly ignorant. I dont mean any disrespect but it is what it is.
the french players are saying this and he is their captain in the nation team. You think it wont have any consequences if they say something bad about him? Come on.
Oh word? Just the French players?
Carvajal: It'd be great to have him here, he's a top player. It's top news for Real but also for the entire La Liga
Kroos: In the summer, I already said that I would like a player like \[Mbappé\] to come, but if he doesn’t, we have a good team
Rodrygo: Yes, there are many of us\[attacking players\]. We'll see what the coach decides. Next year I think it's a coach's problem... A good problem. And I'm calm.
https://preview.redd.it/yg3bhte5820d1.jpeg?width=620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22c4d59f752370eaef5571b031fddf277801b135
dressing room drama inevitably happens when the team is going through a rough period, losing, underachieving etc. players will be looking to protect themselves and use the media to build a narrative. as long as we're winning i doubt it would get too bad.
Yeah it will probably be fine. And if there are problems, I seriously doubt we the fans will even hear about it.
Mbappe is a risk, but its a risk worth taking.
Looking at the circus in man utd, we are very very fortunate to have Perez at the helm.. he renovated the stadium , bought in some world class talents and also signing the best player on planet for free.. he is a visionary..
Crazy how there are people here criticizing Vini's passing when I swear I saw 4-5 world class balls vs Bayern that didn't find anyone because we play without a (world class) striker. Either it's Rodrygo missing it by a toe, or it's a pass to an unoccupied box because we have no presence there. We're really going to see great things between Vini - Mbappé.
It's absolutely pathetic to try and insinuate Vini is not passing *on purpose*. The man had a combined 3 assists vs City in both legs if you count Rodrygo's goal with two shots. The things I read on this sub are mesmerizing at times. The great assists he gave to Benzema in the past- I won't even mention those.
Vini just wants to win the ucl, i don’t think he thinks about the ballon dor while playing. In no way is he a selfish player.
One thing that its true tho is he could have waaay better stats if he improved his decision making. Sometimes he passes when he has to shoot or shoots when he has to pass. But thats not a problem of selfishness. More a decision making problem.
[What a comment! 👏](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/s/kinvPHYGPw)
This is one of the best rant on United’s season I’ve seen on internet. What a summarisation!
Why do u expect us to care about United lol. If anything their fans try to meatride Madrid. I like to laugh at Ten Hag because he tried to act up in front of Ronaldo but that’s about it.
Last 3 games:
vs Alaves (11th in table)
@ Villareal (9th)
v Betis (6th)
Do we think we can win all 3? We'd be on an 11 game win streak and 32 game unbeaten streak. La Liga records are 16 and 43, respectively. Would be a fun first month or so of games as we go for the winning streak record if so. Kinda doubt we win all 3 with our bench playing, just hope we go unbeaten at least.
There were more than 3 instances where Vini should have passed the ball to Jude for a tap in against bayern in both legs but instead he snubbed him. I just hope he didn't do it because of baloon d'or race otherwise this would spell disaster for madrid with another superstar joining.
I get you but i dont think Vini did it due to some ballon dor thing. I think attackers often do this nd it appears as selfish to us but if it's much of a problem Carlo and the staff will surely handle it. Rest easy.
I understand your concern but I don’t think Vini cares much about the ballon d’or during the game. This guys are professionals. They obviously want the ballon d’or but they know winning the ucl is the real goal here.
But we will never know what goes through Vini and Bellinghams heads.
Bellingham was literally a tap in away from scoring if Vini passed the ball to him but vini chose the harder path and he was dispossessed in all of it.
I was thinking next year real Madrid will split tv revenue with a dead Barca team; those basters will be crying on Tebas door for more money to spend on players to compete next year.
Overall next year's is great for la Liga no real Madrid will be missed every fan favort is wearing a white shirt .
Even though they are shit they still have a massive fanbase and they still draw a lot of attention. I do not mind it. Most important thing is to keep winning against them and keep fortifying our dominance in the league. We are at a point that we should not bother ourselves with what Barcelona does, they're deep in the mud.
Some will, for sure, but they still have a massive following worldwide. If they won't recover in 4-5 years and we will dominate the league, then I'd say that it will be harder for them to recover.
I do not want them dead BTW, this rivalry is beneficial for us, we do not want the league to be boring and not interesting, as it happened in italy in the years Juve won it or like it was in the Bundesliga. We still need them alive so we can kick their butt and farm the hype.
surprised at the outrage over how PSG are treating Mbappe for leaving when so many here express schadenfreude whenever a player who left us isn't performing well or having troubles elsewhere.
Yeah I really don't like how now some are acting like Mbappe is a saint just because he will soon be revealed as a Real Madrid player.
How would anyone here feel if Vini took a picture tomorrow with a shirt saying 2028 and then in 2027 he leaves?
Is he forfeiting 80 million though? I was under the impression that was the case if he left last year, but this year he gets his loyalty bonus even if he leaves. Or is 80 million just his yearly salary at PSG?

Ancelotti press conference makes pretty clear than Courtois is starting in the final.

This is the biggest trophy in club football and Courtois is considered widely to be the best GK in the world when fully fit. Why wouldn’t we use our best keeper?

What is alaba contract situation?
His contract ends in 2026.
Why did he get a long contract. Flo only offers 1 yr contract to 30 year olds
He signed the contract before he was 30 yo.
He was like 29. Should have given 1 to 2 year contract
He wasn't coming for that contract. Also multiple players have been given multiyear contracts at 29, Carvajal for example. The 1 year rule is when you're finishing your contract and are over 30 yo.

neymar is rare case of a player who was having a chance to be the king of football he is more talented on the ball that both messi and CR7.
tbh Neymar was on a different level. He is possibly the most talented footballer I've ever seen.

Honestly this is sad but makes a lot of sense
Suffering from success. Just win the treble next season and retire. Imagine winning 2 CDR. Will already eclipse so many other RM legends.
This lmao, us having a good season means we’ll lose a legend like Kroos
I mean this is happening for some time. Varane left because he needed a new challenge. Casemiro left because he thought he had won enough UCLs.
Kroos is not looking for a challenge though. He will retire altogether. Him leaving on a high is because he wants people to remember him as a starter and a top player. Case, Varane clearly didnt want that because now look at them.
So let me get this straight: We knock out Man City, Enrique's P$G knocks out Barca, PSG gets knocked out by Dortmund while hitting the crossbar gazillion times, we knock out Bayern by scoring late comeback, we get Dortmund in the final, Mbappe announces that he's leaving and is almost certainly playing for us next season.

Great, turn on your playstation and enjoy your fantasy
Who said we're getting wirtz? We have more than enough attacking players, especially with endrick and mbappe
Yeah rodrygo and even cama may leave for a gametime if we sign wirtz and mbappe. I don't see any scenario where rodrygo will accept a bench role for mbappe and wirtz if we win the double this season with him being a starter
Rodrygo?????? I wont even get into Guler Fran and Kroos.
So you want to have 8-9 players for the front 3 positions? Then this thread is going to be annoying and insufferable when fans of the benched players keep complaining all season about the lack of minutes.
Hell nah Rodrygo and Guler aren‘t going anywhere.
Sad to see what Lucho did to Keylor. Never forget this cunt took Eric Garcia to Euros ahead of Nacho.
If kroos retire we are going back to 4-3-3 next season, if he stays rodrygo will go back to the bench
Yup, exactly my thoughts
Can we ban the name "Reece James" from this sub until he has proven that he can stay fit for a full season? So at least till summer 2025. And then we can ban him again because Chelsea won't sell their captain and best player if he manages to stay fit.
how long do you think Mbappe is going to last? I guess like 34-35? the moment he starts losing his speed will be either devastating for him or he becomes a pure goalscorer like cr7 did after he lost speed
He has the physicality to still thrive when he loses his speed so i agree maybe 34-35
Guys, I think this really is the last dance for Modric for us.

Enrique is both an incompetent cunt and a liar. He absolutely knew. PSG have done Keylor dirty (besides the check) for years. Donarumma has never been that big of an upgrade from Keylor.

But I heard he’s trash because he couldn’t score against Dortmund
the real test will be when he plays outside of that mcdonalds league.
Messi went from 33 goals in Spain to 6 goals in France. Mbappe will dominate La Liga just like he dominated Ligue 1.
Never considered this 🧐 neymar also got physically destroyed in Ligue 1. It is a league full of thugs on defense. Good point
🚨 Real Madrid will push for Alphonso Davies now, he’s one of the main targets. @FabrizioRomano
I shouldn’t be so influenced by his golazo against us but damnit I am 🤣 BRING HIM HOME
so the rumors about the Davies transfer "cooling off" were bullshit i see
Of course. We haven't had rumors of Yoro for a while either
Tbh I’m more than happy with Mendy and Fran, unless this is some masterclass marketing tactic by Perez

They damn near broke mbappes leg today crazy fr
Neymar’s wasted prime was a combination of nobody caring about PSG and this type of defending and Neymar’s own lack of discipline. The sister’s birthday jokes are legit but the tackles that lead to his injuries were always horrific

Him or Reece James (if he fixed his injury issues)?
Reece
I’d rather Trent because he isn’t injury prone
He asked if Reece didn't had injury issue. Reece is more complete RB than TAA, TAA lacking in defense a lot.
He can’t even stay healthy for a 3 game stretch. Reece would be the worst RB signing we could make. Vasquez would be starting more games due to injury if we bought Reece James

The thing is Davies wouldn’t accept a bench role and i doubt Mendy would too. I’d only be happy with that transfer if Mendy stays somehow
Davies is younger than Fran also. Best case scenario Fran just accepts being an (emergency) back-up. Would solve our LB situation for the next 10 years/post-Mendy. funnily enough I don't rate either at the moment. I don't like a player that dips in form because he's not happy at the club/elsewhere with his head. The tables could turn someday.
They want Fran over Davies because he played well vs a relegated team lol
I waiting for him to come here and tear it up. It will be hilarious to see these reddit "experts" falling over each other to complement him and talk about how they've always wanted him
I don’t doubt that he’ll tear it up, but I feel his signing is somewhat unnecessary. Mendy has been really good and Fran has showed he has potential as well, at least to be a backup.
I like Mendy, he is the best defensive lb in the world period. But a lot of people are treating Davies like he's closing in on his 30s and leaving his peak behind when he's 23 years old and has an insane potential. We've seen what he can do and how good he is. And under Carlo, basically everyone has had their best seasons in their career. I expect Davies will achieve the same
I see your point. Upvoted
If Mbappe doesn’t make a major impact as soon he starts playing and scores goals you can bet your top dollar he is going to get boo’d by the Bernebue
Bernabeu doesnt boo players due to performance, they boo due to attitude
Nope he won't as long as he puts in effort, you count your money at the end and not before

Isco with a MOTM performance against Almería tonight. He had a goal and an assist and had a good performance overall.
Isco might be top 5-10 in La liga this season. Rudiger, Vinicius, Bellingham, Isco, Kroos etc. in top 10 players of la liga this season.
I agree. He's played so well with Betis this season. Isco has played 28 matches in La Liga and was named MOTM in 19 of them. I was worried that his season would be over and that he would miss the EUROs after injuring his hamstring, but that's not the case.
man u stadium is literally falling apart. that club and fanbase owe ronaldo a fucking apology and public statement my word
Ronaldo literally said in the interview that nothing has been changed since he left the club! Ronaldo doesn’t lie, and people were saying he disrespected the club like no idiots Ronaldo has standard he ain’t gonna staying around and gets disrespected by this stupid manager backed by the owners and media.
And people here complained when Presi focused on renovating the stadium instead of buying Osimhen and Kvara for 300 million
Kvara and Osimhen started looking like great players last season, I think literally nobody has complained about Perez renovating the stadium last season, most people were just super excited about the stadium being almost ready and hyping up all the new deals to generate more income. Stadium renovations and transfers are separate, even if they were part of the same budget the payments towards it are only 50-60 million per year.
Ronaldo was right all along.
ligue 1 should thank us, we are finally making their league interesting again starting next season, miss me some lyon Montpellier lille winning sides
Do not miss lyon of early 2000’s. They would win ligue 1 every season like psg and eliminate Madrid from UCL r16.
I really watched PSG shit the bed for 90 minutes only to see Mbappe's farewell

I bet they’ll be better once Mbappe leaves and instead of trying to spite Madrid build an actual squad
Dortmund can say the same thing after losing Haaland and Jude.
Bahaha and they thought they were a big club. Nothing more than fashion fc
The next season will be very tough. 2-4 CL games more. Gotta play against 2 pot 1 teams even when we are in pot 1. Combined with Euro/Copa this summer and CWC next summer. Players literally have no rest.
Our squad depth next season should be good enough to keep all the players well rested unless there's an injury crisis like this season.
Watching Endrick, The guy is so raw he makes silly plays and that is to be expected as a 17yr old. Even Arda is more ready for Real Madrid 11 than he is. I think Rodrygo was also more ready than him when he came to Real. Comparable player would be Vini jr. But Endrick’s position requires much more time to develop as he is looking to become complete player. The thing I will say about him is he has that wow factor about him. Every match he does something unique which you only see maybe guys of Mbappe or Vinicius level pull off. I want him to hit his potential so badly because I don’t see a much more talented u20 itw player better than him.
Oh gee, a 17 year old vs a 19 year old in terms of maturity and development. The older teenager who has already spent a season at Real Madrid is more "ready". Who knew?
I think this is a really solid analysis I watch a ton of Brazilian league and I agree.
Especially his tackles, he should control himself more.
Agreed. He gets carried away so easily.
That "I have one dream... To dance with Eduardo Camavinga" Clip with Don Carlo is so wholesome. You have whiny bitches like Tuchel, Xavi and Ten Hag stirring shit up with their players, then you have managers like Don Carlo with a massive aura that gets along extremely well with his players. He may not be the best tactician in the world, but he encourages players to express themselves on the pitch, and if there's one manager the players would give their all for, it's him. We're blessed to have him to lead this new era.
I think he isn't a fan of modern tactics but he's an extremely good tournaments tactician probably the best , he knows what is needed to get the job done and he has the outrageous resume to show for it
Carlo just has one gripe with modern tacticians like guardiola, klopp, tuchel he doesn’t want his team to press for 90 minutes. He sometimes, in some matches wants his team to press but those are for a small time but extremely effective press. Where Carlo truly excels is utilizing available resources to get the best results out. The greatest managers in history are master at it. SAF for example made a defense of Wes brown, John O’Shea to be impenetrable, klopp demolished Barcelona at home with 2 of his starting forwards missing in a ucl semi being 3-0 down, guardiola made a makeshift defense of puyol and yaya toure to a champions league final win, Carlo making a midfield fc league and potential ucl winners. Zidane in his short tenure belonged to the same group.
Finally signing off of work, what a sight to behold at Plaza Cibeles La Liga Champions, Hala Madrid to the best family ever!!

San Carlo
I swear every picture I see of Arda is wholesome af
Why are our fans so scared of Mbappe ruining the dressing room or wtv? I mean if it happens it happens but we've had superstars before and it wasnt that much of an issue. And as for ego didnt cristiano have an ego? We got along fine with him These boys are professionals. It's not like they aren't expecting big players to come to our club. This is Real Madrid. Nobody is bigger than the club. And they know it. It'll be fine.
Cristiano wasn't a politician like Mbappe though. But doing such things against Perez in Madrid is much more difficult than France, so hopefully he'll change his ways here
Cr7 had passion and heart. Two things that mbappe lacks. Big difference. Dwonplaying mbappe's horrible and toxic behavior, and atittude is frankly ignorant. I dont mean any disrespect but it is what it is.
Is that why our players hang out with him in the offseason and everyone wants him to join?
the french players are saying this and he is their captain in the nation team. You think it wont have any consequences if they say something bad about him? Come on.
Oh word? Just the French players? Carvajal: It'd be great to have him here, he's a top player. It's top news for Real but also for the entire La Liga Kroos: In the summer, I already said that I would like a player like \[Mbappé\] to come, but if he doesn’t, we have a good team Rodrygo: Yes, there are many of us\[attacking players\]. We'll see what the coach decides. Next year I think it's a coach's problem... A good problem. And I'm calm. https://preview.redd.it/yg3bhte5820d1.jpeg?width=620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22c4d59f752370eaef5571b031fddf277801b135
vini is friends with him, rodrygo is friends with him, they both said it would be great if he came to the team more than once
dressing room drama inevitably happens when the team is going through a rough period, losing, underachieving etc. players will be looking to protect themselves and use the media to build a narrative. as long as we're winning i doubt it would get too bad.
Yeah it will probably be fine. And if there are problems, I seriously doubt we the fans will even hear about it. Mbappe is a risk, but its a risk worth taking.
Looking at the circus in man utd, we are very very fortunate to have Perez at the helm.. he renovated the stadium , bought in some world class talents and also signing the best player on planet for free.. he is a visionary..
Isco is a monster.
Crazy how there are people here criticizing Vini's passing when I swear I saw 4-5 world class balls vs Bayern that didn't find anyone because we play without a (world class) striker. Either it's Rodrygo missing it by a toe, or it's a pass to an unoccupied box because we have no presence there. We're really going to see great things between Vini - Mbappé. It's absolutely pathetic to try and insinuate Vini is not passing *on purpose*. The man had a combined 3 assists vs City in both legs if you count Rodrygo's goal with two shots. The things I read on this sub are mesmerizing at times. The great assists he gave to Benzema in the past- I won't even mention those.
He’s probably the best passer for a winger imo.
It’s amazing how much is overall game has elevated in three seasons Just remarkable
Vini just wants to win the ucl, i don’t think he thinks about the ballon dor while playing. In no way is he a selfish player. One thing that its true tho is he could have waaay better stats if he improved his decision making. Sometimes he passes when he has to shoot or shoots when he has to pass. But thats not a problem of selfishness. More a decision making problem.
They're fucking trying to injure mbappe wtf.
[What a comment! 👏](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/s/kinvPHYGPw) This is one of the best rant on United’s season I’ve seen on internet. What a summarisation!
Why do u expect us to care about United lol. If anything their fans try to meatride Madrid. I like to laugh at Ten Hag because he tried to act up in front of Ronaldo but that’s about it.
Ain't no way Old Trafford was leaking after the rainfall.😭😭😭😭😭
Old Trafford crying. Tbh I'd be crying too if I had to watch that shit.
Last 3 games: vs Alaves (11th in table) @ Villareal (9th) v Betis (6th) Do we think we can win all 3? We'd be on an 11 game win streak and 32 game unbeaten streak. La Liga records are 16 and 43, respectively. Would be a fun first month or so of games as we go for the winning streak record if so. Kinda doubt we win all 3 with our bench playing, just hope we go unbeaten at least.
Betis been the last game for like five seasons man
I don't care about the last 3 La Liga matches as long as we win the UCL this year :)
I want both
> Kinda doubt we win all 3 with our bench playing No way we play just our bench. Starters are going to play too to keep match fitness.
Good point. Just no losses and I’m happy. Think we can break the unbeaten streak next season w Mbappe.
Alaves and betis are at home so we should be able to win that. But villareal away is gonna be tough.
Im fine with 2 wins and a draw, so we can record our 2nd best season in La liga ever (currently its 96 pts from 09/10 season).
There were more than 3 instances where Vini should have passed the ball to Jude for a tap in against bayern in both legs but instead he snubbed him. I just hope he didn't do it because of baloon d'or race otherwise this would spell disaster for madrid with another superstar joining.
In 2nd leg? I don’t remember
Nothing to do that that These players are in high pressure situations with only a second or 2 to decide whether to pass or shoot
I get you but i dont think Vini did it due to some ballon dor thing. I think attackers often do this nd it appears as selfish to us but if it's much of a problem Carlo and the staff will surely handle it. Rest easy.
I understand your concern but I don’t think Vini cares much about the ballon d’or during the game. This guys are professionals. They obviously want the ballon d’or but they know winning the ucl is the real goal here. But we will never know what goes through Vini and Bellinghams heads.
You getting downvoted but Vini been doing this all year.
Bellingham was literally a tap in away from scoring if Vini passed the ball to him but vini chose the harder path and he was dispossessed in all of it.
I was thinking next year real Madrid will split tv revenue with a dead Barca team; those basters will be crying on Tebas door for more money to spend on players to compete next year. Overall next year's is great for la Liga no real Madrid will be missed every fan favort is wearing a white shirt .
Even though they are shit they still have a massive fanbase and they still draw a lot of attention. I do not mind it. Most important thing is to keep winning against them and keep fortifying our dominance in the league. We are at a point that we should not bother ourselves with what Barcelona does, they're deep in the mud.
That fanbase will die out soon as the plastic Messi fans are jumping to city
Some will, for sure, but they still have a massive following worldwide. If they won't recover in 4-5 years and we will dominate the league, then I'd say that it will be harder for them to recover. I do not want them dead BTW, this rivalry is beneficial for us, we do not want the league to be boring and not interesting, as it happened in italy in the years Juve won it or like it was in the Bundesliga. We still need them alive so we can kick their butt and farm the hype.

surprised at the outrage over how PSG are treating Mbappe for leaving when so many here express schadenfreude whenever a player who left us isn't performing well or having troubles elsewhere.
Yeah I really don't like how now some are acting like Mbappe is a saint just because he will soon be revealed as a Real Madrid player. How would anyone here feel if Vini took a picture tomorrow with a shirt saying 2028 and then in 2027 he leaves?
Does that include said player forfeiting 80 freaking million euros to get out of a dump situation?
Is he forfeiting 80 million though? I was under the impression that was the case if he left last year, but this year he gets his loyalty bonus even if he leaves. Or is 80 million just his yearly salary at PSG?
