Any idea how Real's injury status goes? The roster I see had Kroos, Modric and Marcelo all listed as injuries for the Espanyol game. That has to take some bite off from their attack and midfield.

Facing PSG without them could be rough.

Those 3 are listed on transfermarkt as expected back by March 4th. They have rather light injuries.

I dont know details but it seems they got time outs to get them ready for the PSG game.
Off-season = best season

Would be about fair though. All 3 together are worth about 1 Neymar on the transfer market

Barcelona playing against Atletico (A very phisical intense team) before Chealsea worry me. Very hard calendar in the part of the season when every year the team is in worse physical shape after lot of cup games in January.

It just Zidane being Zidane, decides rotate his team for some random reason and then they get beat. Then he gets asked why and he makes all the excuses that make it look like it isn't his fault...
He makes all those changes and they lose/drop points all the time and doesn't understand why it seems or refuses to blame himself? Talk about stubborn/delusional.

Then the worst part, if you wanted to go and manage that way and make alot of rotations to keep Ronaldo in prime condition, then tell your board you want to do that and get a better squad!! Outside of Ramos Marcelo and Varane they have no defenders, Carvajal is another Arbeloa type over rated useless player who can't defend.

I think Zidane will be gone "mutually" at the end of the season because he isn't good at all or needs to prove he is to me by doing something at another club.

Carvajal is another usless Arbeloa type player that was locking people down for a while.

Also the above would be true if Nacho wasnt their best defender this season.

Ramos is there best defender every season bare none. Varane this season has looked poor at time but he also has no protection and does show some quality sometimes. Marcelo is best left back in the world period. Nacho again another average Spanish defender who is exceptional at passing but not at defending, ala Arbeloa and Carvajal.

I mean if i was a Real fan i would be crying out for an Italian like Conte to come in, maybe Sarri those kinda old school ish Italian who defend and can still pass it out from the back. Many gifs of Napoli playing it out in tight spaces from the back to launch attacks. That fast paced attacked and solid based defending is what Real need to stop Barca again and look amazing. Get 4 new defenders in, cover for Ramos/Marcelo plus the others could be starters.

If you have watched Ral Madrid matches this season you would know that Nacho has been their best defender by far. You are hilarious comparing him with Arbeloa.

And Ramos has been terrible this season. Worse than Nacho and Varane. Too much goals allowed because him.

Yes Ramos is shit, that is why without Ramos when he was suspended/injured Real Madrid lost to Villareal 1-0 with Nacho / Varane partnership, drew 2-2 with with Numancia with Nacho/Vallejo partnership, drew 2-2 with Levante with Varane/Nacho partnership. Shall i go on xD

Again. You have not been watching Real Madrid matches this season if you really think Ramos has been playing better than Nacho.

Ref gets two decisions spot on here, doesnt he? Llorente isnt half tugging that shirt, and Son clearly makes a full stop.

If the fans were smart they would stop buy the merchandise and boycotting away games. But it won't happen.

Arsenal’s operating profits have tumbled by more than 60 per cent as a result of the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League last season.

Arsenal’s half-year results show that the fall from the Champions League to the Europa League has created a £23.4m fall in football revenues in the six months to the end of November last year.

The club said a decrease in the amount of tickets sold had combined with plunging commercial and broadcasting revenues as a result of playing in Europe’s secondary competition.

Arsenal’s wage costs also spiralled £13.2m higher in the six-month period, despite none of the players receiving the bonus they would have been paid had the club qualified for the Champions League.

In all, the club’s operating profits, not including player sales, fell 62 per cent to £20.7m, compared to £54.4 this time last year.

However, overall profit before tax in the half-year period almost doubled from £12.6m to £25.1m as a result of the sales of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wojciech Szczesny, Gabriel and Kieran Gibbs in the summer transfer window.

The figures do not include the January acquisitions of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, nor the departures of Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud, Francis Coquelin and Alexis Sanchez.

Sir Chips Keswick, the Arsenal chairman, has said the club must “spend effectively” in a climate of rising transfer fees, wages and agent payments. Telegraph Sport revealed earlier this year that Premier League clubs are increasingly concerned that agents are pocketing excessive amounts of money from transfers or negotiations.

“Our strategy remains self-financing and we must accept all the challenges that brings at a time when the inflation of tranfer fees, player wages and the fees demanded by agents has become super-heated.”

He added: “As always, the actual income for the second half will be strongly influenced by the extent of progress in the remaining knock-out competition, the level of live TV coverage for Premier League games and final league position.”

Hmm why boycotting away games? Away team don't get any match attendance income for away games right?

I think Zindane doesn't care about La Liga this season, no chance to win it at all. Real doesn't need all points right now, a Top4 place looks very safe for Real because of CL spots.

But as Madrid manager you get sacked for finishing second let alone...3rd or 4th xD
