There is a 'rift for the ages' in the Real Madrid dressing room right now and reports state a move for Erling Haaland is being targeted after Vinicius Jr has decided to quit Los Blancos in 2026

Real Madrid will host Valencia at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday after an exciting week that saw the side coached by Xabi Alonso winning 2-1 in El Clasico against Barcelona in Madrid. The Blancos are now leading the standings with a five-point margin on Hansi Flick's team that will face Elche on Sunday this weekend.

Villarreal scored three goals in nine minutes to rout Rayo Vallecano 4-0 in La Liga and move up to second in the standings.

There were regular whistles for Yamal from the Bernabeu crowd when he touched the ball, and huge cheers when he lost a battle for possession or misplaced a pass. Being the best player on a Spain team that won Euro 2024, and are among the favourites for next summer’s World Cup, did not stand for much compared to club loyalties.
