So to summarize: Barca bid for Veratti. PSG say no. Barca encourage him to demand a move. PSG get angry. PSG bid for Neymar. Neymar's dad is forcing the move. Barca is under pressure. If this deal goes through, no one will mess with PSG.

The biggest difference between Madrid under Zidane vs Madrid under Benitez is the desire to fight. Zidane is like Mourinho without the controversies and distractions. His tactics are not complicated and every player is played according to his strength. The best part is the regular use of Lucas...

I know but considering the hype around him as the best ever and some kind of revolutionary, he should have taken Bayern to 1 final at least. In the 4 years preceding Pep's reign, Bayern reached the CL final 3 times so its not as if he took over a poor team.

I am really surprised by how little concern City fans have for the way Guardiola has performed for Bayern so far. Now, 3 League titles + 3 CL semi-finals is an excellent return but considering the hype, Guardiola should have at least won one CL. City fans think that hiring Guardiola will solve...

The first time I felt Zidane was the right coach for us was after the defeat to Wolfsburg. His interview was exactly what Madrid needed to hear.

I agree ... Can you imagine using a desperate "all-in" move so early in the race? Perez is ruining the club ... He wouldn't be rich if he was a shit manager ... He must be a Barca fan.

He's finished as a defender. Does not deserve a starting spot. Too rash, too aggressive, too bad!!!

This is an utterly despicable move by the Madrid board. What they are indicating is that La Liga has been lost even though we are only potentially 5 points behind the league leaders with 20 games left to play. This is an awful defeatist attitude that once again absolves players of all the blame...

Terrible decision by Madrid if this is true. Zidane is my idol but he should really manage another team (preferably Spanish) before taking up the top job. Let him understand what it is like to be solely responsible for the results of a team. For example if he took over...

La Liga has improved but man for man if each of those teams you mentioned played to their maximum capacity against Real/Barca also playing to their maximum capacity then who would win? Obviously Barca / Real. That's why there is a strong element of underperformance when Barca/Real lose to any of...

Real Madrid and Barca are so far ahead of everyone on talent that 'away' games have no meaning (unless maybe Athletico Madrid). When Real or Barca lose away games, its because they have seriously underperformed. Your statement would have been accurate if they were playing in the English League...

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of his grandfather. Ronaldo is finished at Madrid. His goal scoring has reduced. He rarely takes part in the build up. He rarely tracks back which puts pressure on the left side of defense. He refuses to play as a striker as it affects his game. He is basically...

Some players need to be sold but no major cleanup is required. GK: Navas, Kiko CB: Varane, Ramos, Nacho, XXXX RB: Carvajal, Danilo LB: Marcelo, XXXX CM: Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Kovacic, XXXX AM: Isco, James W: Bale, Vazquez, XXXX, XXXX ST: Jese, XXXX Sell: Pepe, Arbeloa, Ronaldo, Cheryshev...

Needs captaincy taken away from him and given to someone who is calmer. Too much burden on a hot headed defender. Yesterday he was utterly shit and Pepe saved him many times.

Only 5 points behind Barca with less than half the season gone. As long as we are within range, a lot can change. Just look at how disjointed Barca was last season until December. Lucky to get a weak Roma in the CL.

It DOESNT sound like that. It sounds like he is coercing Mathieu to pay up. A real friend would have asked Mathieu to inform the police immediately and come himself come forward to testify.

The guy is a complete idiot to be involved in such a thing. Why would you risk a career and salary most of us could only dream about by getting involved? I hope he is sold at the end of the season, even if Real get a transfer ban!

This latest incident is clearly not Rafa's fault. He has a team around him which needs to be checking up on these issues. The guy has been unfairly castigated after just one-third of the season. Where were Barca after one-third of last leason? Where did they end up?

I think some Barce fans have made a deal with the Devil ! Utter incompetence from Madrid!!!

Actually even in non-football business you are dealing with human beings. Some of Real Madrid's players need to stop acting like prima-donnas and feel grateful that they get millions of dollars to kick a bag of air. What more should Benitez do? Should he start cleaning their laundry, taking...
