  • Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Finding His Form Again

    Steadily and slowly, Cristiano Ronaldo is putting the whole “sad & unhappy” issue behind him, and getting back to being the best player on the Real Madrid team, which is absolutely necessary if they’re to have a shot at coming back from the 8 point deficit in the always happening title race against Barcelona.

  • Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Has What to be Sad About

    The La Liga table isn’t lying – Real Madrid are 10th, and will be in the bottom half by the end of game-week 4, losing their second match of the season in Sevilla against a team that simply played with more fire and more guts than the champions did, exemplified by Cristiano Ronaldo having a bad day (again) while being outplayed by a Brazilian right back, Cicinho, that marked him for most of the match.

    10 Most Expensive Football Transfers in Summer 2012

    Who would have guessed three years ago that Paris Saint-Germain will have three players in the top 10 most expensive signings of the 2012 summer transfer window? Despite big names like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robin van Persie and Eden Hazard, the most expensive deal was to get Thiago Silva of AC Milan.

  • Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Begins His Season

    Forget about Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the opening goal in the first leg; His start to the 2012-2013 season was a sleepy one, but a fantastic first half in the 2-1 win against Barcelona signaled to us that he’s finally arrived with goals, flair and a bit of glory in the end to pick up the first title of the season.

  • Supercopa 2012 – Real Madrid vs Barcelona Predictions

    The second Clasico of the season is still not the actual thing, being a Spanish Super Cup match and all, but with Real Madrid opening in somewhat of a disappointing fashion, Barcelona visiting the capital in hope of retaining the Supercopa after a 3-2 win in the first leg has a bit more significance than it should if the season would have started out properly for the champions.

  • Real Madrid – Luka Modric to Fix Jose Mourinho’s Problems?

    A rarity occurred after Real Madrid lost at Getafe, putting them 5 points behind Barcelona. Jose Mourinho actually accepted defeat (with a little, tiny arrow towards the referee) and didn’t have any back up words for his players, who did look pretty bad. Maybe the arrival of Luka Modric, finally a done deal, will help them rebound from the disappointing start to the season.

  • Transfer Rumos 2012 – Luka Modric Finally a Real Madrid Player

    Maybe using Chelsea’s name helped Daniel Levy and Tottenham finally convince Real Madrid to go ahead and not give up on the deal to sign Luka Modric for £33 million (including add-on fees), but the important thing is that this transfer saga is nearly over, with the Croatian flying to Spain in order to complete the move in the next 48 hours.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Chelsea to Move in on Luka Modric

    This was supposed to happen last summer, but as the negotiations between Real Madrid and Tottenham for Luka Modric seem to be breaking down, maybe Chelsea will be the club to benefit from the breakdown and finally sign the Croatian midfielder, a year later than their original plan.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Luka Modric Will be a Real Madrid Player

    As the season draws nearer, long transfer sagas are finally concluded. Next up? Luka Modric, who has been wanting to leave Tottenham for over a year now, looks like he’ll get his wishes come true and finally complete his transfer to Real Madrid in the coming days. Still, like everything involved in this deal between […]

  • Real Madrid – No More Luka Modric, Just Axel Witsel

    The Luka Modric ordeal is nearly over, with no real resolution. Real Madrid made a final €30 million ‘take it or leave it’ offer to Tottenham and were rejected once again, which will now probably turn their full attention to Benfica’s Belgian midfielder, Axel Witsel.
