If there’s one team I genuinely hate playing against, it’s Atlético Madrid.
They are one of the few teams that truly know how to play against Barcelona. How to defend against us? They know. How to exploit our high defensive line? They know. How to get under our players’ skin? They know.
Even though we’ve beaten them several times since Hansi Flick’s arrival, they always seem to give us some of the toughest games of the season.
Today, we travel to the Metropolitano, where Atlético always seem to find an extra level of aggression and motivation, especially when playing against us.
I’m very optimistic about this game. I believe we’ll beat them, but let’s be honest, it won’t be an easy night. We’ll have to work for it.
Vini Jr should have just moved to Arsenal
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Vinícius Jr. is aware that he has LOST HIS STARTING PLACE at Real Madrid! 🇧🇷❌
Mourinho wants to help the Brazilian return to his best form, but he will NOT guarantee him a place in the starting XI.

“Diego Maradona is my brother, and Leo Messi is my son.” 🥹💙
This is Marito, and his story with Lionel Messi is truly beautiful.
Mario Di Stéfano, affectionately known as Marito, has been Argentina’s kit manager since 1997. He’s been there through generations of players, heartbreaks, defeats, and finally, the glory of becoming world champions.
He’s known Messi since 2004, watching him grow from a young boy with a dream into the greatest footballer of all time.
In this video, Marito breaks down in tears between Messi and Di María during Argentina’s World Cup celebrations.
After all those years of suffering, he finally got to see the boy he considers his son lift the World Cup.
Some moments in football are bigger than trophies. This is one of them. 🥹🇦🇷

😂💙 “You broke my heart today, we’re going home, but go and win it for me!”
Jason Cummings recalls what he told Messi after Australia were eliminated by Argentina in the Round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup.
“And after the game, I went up to him. I grabbed him and said: ‘Messi, what a guy you are. Legend. Now go on and win it for me! You broke my heart today, we’re going home, but go and win it for me!’”
Watching this guy play and still claiming he’s better than Yamal only makes you a hater but not a football fan. This guy hasn’t provided a goal or assist in their last three games but at the end of the season, you will see people dragging a false comparison between him and Yamal. He might be your favorite but he’s not better than Yamal.
