With all the talk about pressing recently, I remembered this clip of Rodrygo. I want to see this type of energy more often than not from our attackers next season. There’s no excuses. This is the passion you demand from a Real Madrid player.

The fanbase who crucified Ronaldo for talking confidently about himself are now hyping Yamal for the same thing. The fanbase who called the Nations League a pre-season trophy now say it’s major. Why argue with a Barca fan when they’ll just end up contradicting themselves?

I swear Real Madrid just use the transfer window to remind everyone else how big of a club they are. This Franco transfer could have been done ages ago for us but instead the board waited till PSG made a move before they got involved. Real Madrid’s pull is ridiculous.

I love how every international break the vast majority of the Real Madrid fanbase suddenly become Portuguese.

We’ve been hearing it all week from a certain fanbase. The Nations League will settle the winner of the Ballon D’Or and Ronaldo is the top goal scorer of the tournament. If Portugal go on to win it, he’s the clear favourite. Lifting his 6th at the age of 40, be there.

Out of all the managers that have been fired since that 2018 world cup, how on earth is Deschamps the one who’s kept his job? If France want any chance of winning the World Cup next year they’d get rid of him tonight and hire Zinedine Zidane in the morning.

Longevity isn’t always a good thing. Because Ronaldo has played for so long, these kids will only remember the older version. Luckily, most saw him at his prime which is undoubtedly the most complete footballer of all time. There’s nothing he couldn’t do on the pitch.

40 years old, still scoring every week, presses better than most strikers, the top goalscorer of the Nations League and scoring in the final. Yeah, I don’t care what you top whites have to say, I’d bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to Real Madrid without a moment of hesitation.

Make sure a certain fanbase doesn’t switch up now. They told us all the Nations league is a major trophy and would settle the Ballon d’Or. Ronaldo settled it. We’re lifting the 6th.

Just look at the timeline. When Cristiano Ronaldo is happy, the entire Real Madrid fanbase is happy. Nobody will capture the hearts and minds of a Madridista like this man. That’s our goat forever.

The ‘born ready’ kid really thought he could go against the biggest psychopath football has ever seen in Ronaldo and the best left-back in the world in Mendes and come out on top. Nobody needed that humbling more.

Just isn’t the face of football is he? If this was a certain Portuguese playing, the tickets would have sold out within minutes. Messi may have won the World Cup but Cristiano Ronaldo won the world.

That Trent Alexander-Arnold presentation deserved to be in front of a packed out Santiago Bernabéu. The ‘corner taken quickly’ clip and the fact he speaks fluent Spanish would have sent the fans into a frenzy. He’s already one of us.

Football fact of the day. As of now, Barcelona, commonly known as "We Make Stars," has spent €312,790,000 more than Real Madrid on players since 2015.

‘Giving prime Madrid’. All you can do is look at the difference and laugh. He’s comparing a bunch of NPCs to a side that had some of the best players football has ever seen.

I think I can speak for every single Madridista on the planet when I say we’ve not been this excited for a Real Madrid game in a very long time. Xabi Alonso has already changed our lives.

Real Madrid are truly back. We had a ‘Courtois saves’ tweet within 2 minutes. We’ve been completely outplayed by a weaker side and the majority of the fanbase is having a meltdown wanting half the team sold.

My full-time analysis: - Xabi Alonso has a lot of work to do.

Thank you for your efforts.

As usual, the team looked much better with Güler on the pitch. I just don’t understand how he hasn’t become an undisputed starter within this team over the past year. He’s slowly becoming the most important player.
