The latest news regarding Real Madrid: Thibault Courtois’ presence threatened against Leganes, Mbappé and Vinicius at risk of suspension against Arsenal, etc.
Ancelotti has already told Courtois, and he stands by his decision: « You’re not playing… »
Carlo Ancelotti has spoken with Courtois and made it clear that he will not play tomorrow.
Tomorrow at 9:00 p.m., Real Madrid will play another La Liga match against Leganés. All this after a FIFA international break in which there have once again been « victims. »
Thibault Courtois did not play with Belgium due to an overload, and now Carlo Ancelotti has made it very clear: « You won’t play tomorrow if you’re not 100% fit. »
Courtois did not train with his teammates yesterday.
Real Madrid trained yesterday, Thursday morning, to prepare for the La Liga match. The club’s official website announced the following after the training session:
« The team trained at Real Madrid City and completed their third training session of the week in preparation for the match against Leganés, corresponding to Matchday 29 of La Liga, which will be played at the Santiago Bernabéu (Saturday, 9:00 PM; Movistar Plus+). Ancelotti continues to recover international players and included Mbappé, Bellingham, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Brahim, Alaba, Rüdiger, and Güler in this session. The session began with a joint warm-up on the pitch, and the players then performed possession and pressing drills. Finally, they played matches on a reduced-size pitch. »
Regarding the Belgian goalkeeper, they said: « Courtois worked inside the training facility. Mendy and Ceballos continue their recovery processes. »
Reports indicate that Courtois was still feeling discomfort yesterday and therefore worked inside the training facility.
New session today, and we’ll see if Courtois trains.
Real Madrid resumes training today at 11 a.m., and at that time we’ll be able to see if the starting goalkeeper trains with his teammates or not. Afterwards, Carlo Ancelotti will be in a press conference, and he’ll surely be asked about him.
If Courtois isn’t ready for tomorrow, Lunin, who started for Ukraine during this international break, will play.
Farewell to Jude Bellingham: Manchester City to pay 150 million, a record signing
According to reports, Manchester City is considering option B after the failed signing of Jude Bellingham.
Guardiola insisted on trying to sign Jude Bellingham, but City made it clear that it was impossible as the player didn’t want to move. They must therefore look for another player and say goodbye, as that path is not feasible. That’s why they are now intensifying their interest in Florian Wirtz, for whom they want to pay 150 million this summer and break the team’s spending records.
This would be the third most expensive transfer in football history, behind Neymar (222 million to PSG) and Mbappé (180 million to PSG). His market value is 140 million euros, so his price tag would not be far off. Given the state of the market over the past few years, it’s only natural to pay such a sum for one of the best footballers in the world.
Real Madrid isn’t considering it, as they recently paid 103+30 in variables for Jude Bellingham. They don’t have that need in midfield, as the German plays quite far forward, despite his ability to drop back and create play from the back. In any case, they’re keeping a close eye on him and his future, as he’s a top-level player.
Pep Guardiola couldn’t sign Jude Bellingham because the Englishman dreamed of playing for Real Madrid, the greatest club of all time. If it were up to Florian Wirtz, he would also join Real Madrid, but he knows that things are very difficult for him right now. That’s why he’s exploring other options, and it’s only logical that he’s considering City.
Even though Guardiola’s team is having a terrible season, they have the squad to turn things around. Furthermore, they have several signings in mind to improve the quality of the squad and continue to compete with the best in the world. That’s why they’re keeping the Spanish coach despite all the setbacks they’ve had this season.

After advancing from the round of 16, Real Madrid now focuses all its attention on the upcoming Champions League quarter-final tie against Arsenal. However, the recent second leg against Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano, which was decided in favor of Real Madrid in a penalty shootout, still leaves several issues to be reviewed and discussed.
As reported by this same outlet in the last few hours, UEFA announced last Thursday the opening of an investigation to clarify whether some Real Madrid players violated the Disciplinary Regulations during their celebrations at the Metropolitano after the final penalty. The organization will pay special attention to the behavior of certain Real Madrid players after the match ended.
WHICH PLAYERS ARE UNDER UEFA’S SURVEILLANCE?
In this case, UEFA has focused its investigation on Antonio Rüdiger, Kylian Mbappé, Dani Ceballos, and Vinícius Jr., four players who celebrated their qualification to the quarterfinals in the stadium’s fan zone after eliminating Atlético de Madrid. It is important to note that the midfielder from Utrera, despite not being called up due to injury, joined the celebration alongside his teammates.
In the specific case of Antonio Rüdiger, the gesture of placing his hand around his neck is being evaluated, while Kylian Mbappé is being examined for an action directed at his genitals. Vinícius Jr., meanwhile, is accused of exchanging words with the crowd both before and after the match. In recent days, it has emerged that Atlético de Madrid has sent a formal complaint against the behavior of several Real Madrid players.
The last one:
Before Real Madrid Femenino played Arsenal in the Champions League, the players asked Florentino Perez when they can start playing at the Bernabeu.
Because there was no men’s football due to the international break and the rain had left the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium in a bad state.
Florentino Perez reportedly answered “when they start winning trophies”
@realmadridfem went ahead to beat Arsenal 2-0 and Barcelona 3-1
