Campaign? Why and where do you see a so called campaign?
Do I have to define to you what a campaign means? Come on.
I think people mostly look at their screens, see some games from the teams, know the players and their shape very well and then give their educated guess. I think there can't be much doubt that Manchester City has always been at least among the top favorites, but it is also a fact that the teams are very close to each other anyway. We don't watch soccer because one team wins 10-0 all the time.
Let's say what is happening in the Champion's league right now being similar to England being top favorites ahead of record Champions Brazil because of the media hype they have... Oh, well, at least England had some history from 1966. Let's use USA as an example. Do you see it making any sense?
Meanwhile, every success that Brazil tries to achieve. They just call it luck
Real has had a phase where they really didn't play very well. Without the lucky punches it would have been over, but they got their lucky punch.
"Lucky Punch"
Some of you people really amaze me. I wonder if some of you folks even ever played football at a competitive level. This is no dice game, more or so if the winner emerges after a full tournament(s)
20 years ago, Haaland and Mbappe would already be playing for Real Madrid together. Money changed a lot of things and it might keep changing things even further.
You certainly don't know Real Madrid's transfer policy was 20 years ago. Stop making guess work.
Better season this year for Haaland or Benzema? I think Haaland, but might Benzema be the decisive striker in a game between them? Of course that could be the case, but if I had to choose (the billion dollars you know), I would go with Haaland.
Let's leave that for the end of season to decide. There are a lot of factors to consider, including injury.
Lol... Why would I not know a bit about Real Madrid's transfer policy when Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo played for Real in 2002? They have been buying the superstars whilst educating their own top players. Would the three have played for Real at the same time if sheikh or other business money (for example as in the case of Chelsea) had already entered the sport? THAT is guess work I would say and if I had to place a bet I would bet against it. Manchester City was bought in 2008, PSG in 2011. Mbappe wouldn't be playing for City or PSG now, not ever. Neither would Neymar or Messi. Haaland wouldn't be playing for Manchester City.
I am convinced that back in 2002, that is a good 20 years ago, there would have been a significant chance for Haaland or Mbappe or both to already be playing for Madrid. Not as a replacement for the aforementioned three, that wasn't my point. My point was that money simply changed a lot. We might see that again with Newcastle. How would your history argument apply when such a club wins the Champions League or the PL? It doesn't apply anymore, it's nonsense.
Real Madrid indeed has a history that they are still benefiting from and the reason they still benefit is that they are still sticking to their guns more or less and they manage to support their history and future with constant success. That is why the club is highly attractive besides the money they have. Money, which of course is much less than City (without history) has and much less than Newcastle (with a history) has.
WOW there is nothing else to say but that if it is the whole truth and you have summarized the history of 20 years in a few lines, I was starting at the university in those years where all those Madrid stars were, which for me are very great and I think it is really very difficult for Real Madrid to get another one like that squad, if Zidane managed to get together with Ronaldo to play together, that is equivalent to getting Messi and Ronaldo together to play, which, they became very good friends, this of REAL MADRID is impressive, so I do not conceive that PSG lose and are in trouble at times, perhaps the coach does not have very good expertise managing stars, even so Real Madrid now has the best team that if they are careless, they will come back to win the UCL and the League.
Anyway, Sevilla is already in the relegation zone. Do you guys realize it?
To be honest, I am really surprised. How can Sevilla drop their performance very drastically?
I can't understand what's the problem of this team.
Sevilla's performance is as bad as cadiz. im not even feeling doubt if sevilla may be replaced by cadiz. Cadiz is a bit better compared with sevilla. that means if cadiz would be able to leaving from the relegation zone. Sevilla has been showing worst performance so far in la liga. I didn't see any problem with the club but it seems like the team itself can't played so well in this season just like another club in the la liga.
Shit! we will have another team to be dropped again into the relegation zone as soon as possible. What a worst season for sevilla.
Well, I think that you are not the only ones who are surprised with the behavior and performance so low in Sevilla, I don't know why they are doing it so badly, I can think that there are problems of all kinds, internal, with the technical manager, on a personal level, with each one of the players, it is something that is difficult to believe for this team, however we cannot fall for it like that either, I think that since Cádiz is a bit strong the comparison, Sevilla has a lot of quality and has done things well, but I think they are going through a stage like the other teams, which fall into depression or crisis and it is always reflected in the games, I hope they can recover.
I also read about this some time ago and it is reported that now Ancelotti thinks that Gabriel is the ideal replacement for Benzema.
Last season they were blocked because of Passport issues but at the moment I don't think this is easy either because Gabriel is still Arteta's main focus at the moment.
Real Madrid will not bring people who have immigration problems because that will cause problems when playing on the field, maybe Real Madrid will consider Gabriel if there are still problems then they will consider better attacking players and are ready to contribute to Real Madrid. It is not easy to find professional players in the transfer market next year because they have to find players who match Real Madrid's strengths and of course have to have a young age.
They don't have plans bringing Gabriel no, they already brought a young player from Brazilian league aged 18
If you notice Benzema is dropping form and due to injury absence, he apparently wouldn't be giving a top performance
It's wise they are creating a connection around young brazilians at goal, Vinicius, Rodrygo and .... Still haven't recalled the name
Well, I have a thought, with the money that Real Madrid has, it would be possible to find a Visa for any player, no matter where he comes from, and sometimes I have also thought that they want to bring only Brazilians, and I don't see that badly, Real Madrid will always bet on the youngest players and I think that is something they have always shown, for me the biggest contracts and the most expensive ones will happen after the World Cup in Qatar, we will see the players who stand out the most and it could be that many have that follow-up that Real Madrid does. however for now I don't think they are only interested in young people, for me benzema is still the best there.
It seems to me that an ex-Barcelona praises the good players of Real Madrid a lot:
Andres Iniesta calls Real Madrid star one of the best everPoor results has lead to a news of Xavi Barcelona coach leaving Barcelona or to be scaked for Arsenal's head which is Arteta
It will take some scarifice and dedication else they will remain in this condition for some seasons until they are ready to win the league.
Handling the debts they are in had been a good hindrance to the growth of Barcelona this season, Maybe Xavi wasn't well backed
It's not that it's not well supported, it's just that the supporters may still be lacking and also his experience in coaching is also not so long that it makes it a little difficult to build the appearance of the players in the Barcelona team. Until now I still do not rate too bad for Barcelona because the Barcelona team is still in a good order in La Liga and also not too far from the temporary leader of the standings.
Yes I agree with you Barcelona is still far ahead in La Liga but we have seen Barcelona play bad games in few matches. I think Barcelona have played bad games due to their own mistakes and also we have seen Barcelona play well in almost every match. Barcelona is good club. There are quality players and that's why Barcelona is so strong I think.
Well, I think that Barcelona has always been a very strong team and that has been shown, but that cannot be confused with the fact that at the moment they are not at the level of the best, so for me that is why they have relegated to the Europa League However, for me the only player who doesn't deserve to be there is Lewa, I think that's why Muller jokes with him so much, he knows that if he were at Bayern things would be different, for now Barcelona has to keep betting on winning, no matter what they say, but it has to generate good results, I'm not from Barcelona, but Barcelona is one of Real Madrid's best rivals.
