Real Madrid – Gareth Bale, For the Alleged Prices, Is a Terrible Signing
Some things don’t make sense, and one of them is Gareth Bale becoming the most expensive soccer player in the history of the sport if whatever it is the media is reporting that Real Madrid are willing to pay for him. Tottenham don’t want to sell? It doesn’t mean that the Spanish giants should break the bank for a player with one outstanding season in his career.

Real Madrid – Isco Isn’t Going to be Brought Along Slowly
There’s a world of difference between Malaga and Real Madrid, obviously, but so much money wasn’t spent on Isco so he can watch & learn from the sidelines. Carlo Ancelotti is planning on using the young Spanish star right from the start in the lineup, with and not instead of Mesut Ozil, and in more than just the attacking midfielder role.

Real Madrid – Mesut Ozil Hoping Isco Doesn’t Become a Problem

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil & Jose Mourinho Go Out Like Losers
All the questions of uncertainty are back on the table once more, even if the season isn’t completely over. Cristiano Ronaldo went back to his younger, foolish and hot tempered self by trying to kick the head off of Gabi. Jose Mourinho simply continued the awful road he’s been on this season which reeks of opportunism, selfishness and sabotaging. Mesut Ozil, just like in other big matches over the last few seasons, simply wasn’t there when Real Madrid needed him to.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Fails Along With Jose Mourinho
If this was one of the final matches for Jose Mourinho as a Real Madrid manager, it will be an arrogant display that shows the Portuguese manager doesn’t always learn from past mistakes, while giving Cristiano Ronaldo hardly any help to try and do something against an opponent he knew he’d struggle with, relying too much on his ability to win matches on his own.

Real Madrid – Mesut Ozil Covers For a Misfiring Cristiano Ronaldo
A win in a match like this is measured by other things than what it does for a team in a title race, which is non-existent anymore.
