Real is ready for El Clasico as Leipzig is brushed aside

Real struggled against Villarreal and suffered in Rome against Roma, but then took off like a missile! After a convincing victory over Sevilla, Los Blancos secured an even more dominant win against Leipzig in the elite competition, heading into the upcoming El Clásico in perfect spirits – 4–1 (1–0). Vinícius Junior was given the nod on the left wing, having been handed a four-match La Liga suspension for his recklessness against Villarreal, but tonight he once again demonstrated his utter impotence and frustration. This was his second consecutive match in which he did not even attempt a single dribble, something that had never happened to him before in a Real Madrid shirt. But when Vinícius cannot deliver, Yan Diomande can! The Ivory Coast forward came on in the 70th minute, which was more than enough time to earn the distinction of being one of the best players on the pitch and show the Brazilian that, at this moment, his place is on the bench.🚨GOAL REAL MADRID! ⚪️🔥 Absolute magic on ..

Manchester drowned in the Como lake

If anyone was wondering why many football fans in Argentina see Nico Paz as the heir to Lionel Messi’s legendary number 10 shirt with the Albiceleste, they received a clear answer tonight. The young attacking midfielder produced a spectacular performance at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium, scoring twice and providing an assist to destroy Manchester United and make it abundantly clear that past glories count for nothing in modern football — 4–1 (1–0).
