LaLiga: Ex-PSG star blames Mbappe for Real Madrid’s poor start

by admin

Former Paris Saint-Germain winger, Jerome Rothen has blamed Kylian Mbappe for Real Madrid’s poor start to the season.

Rothen claimed that Mbappe’s presence is causing frustration for other players at Real Madrid.

According to him, some players have taken on different roles or even lost prominence since Mbappe’s arrival from PSG as a free agent.

Speaking on RMC Sport, Rothen said: “Mbappé was the star of the summer. Real Madrid won everything last season with a solid team and players who proved their worth on the field.

“However, I feel that all of that has been lost.

“Kylian has become the focal point of this situation, and his presence is causing frustration for some. Other players have taken on different roles or even lost prominence.

“It is clear that an adjustment period is needed when changing teams, but when you are among the best players in the world, this should happen quickly.”

Real Madrid currently sit in the second position on the LaLiga table with six points behind leaders Barcelona.

LaLiga: Ancelotti reveals worst mistake at Real Madrid

by admin

Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has revealed his ‘worst mistake’ during his career with Real Madrid so far.

The Italian is currently in his second stint as Real Madrid’s head coach.

The 65-year-old had left Madrid in May 2015 before returning to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2021 after leaving Everton.

During his time at the Spanish LaLiga giants, Ancelotti has guided the Los Blancos to 14 trophies, including two LaLiga titles and three UEFA Champions Leagues.

However, the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss has now revealed that a dispute over his salary ended his hopes of getting a new contract with Real Madrid in 2014.

“It is impossible to make only good decisions in thirty years,” Ancelotti told France Football.

“For example, I had a bad one here in Madrid, after my first year. I was very close to extending my contract, the club wanted to keep me, but I pushed too hard in relation to my salary and they stopped.

“It was a mistake, the worst I could have made. But it allowed me to learn.”

LaLiga: He makes difference – Ancelotti speaks on switching Vinicius Junior’s position with Mbappe

by admin

Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has ruled out any possibility of switching Vinicius Junior’s position with Mbappe.

Mbappe became Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time leading goalscorer playing off the left wing during his time with the French Ligue 1 champions.

However, the France international has been moved into a more central position since joining Real Madrid last summer, with Vinicius playing from the left wing.

There have been calls that Ancelotti consider switching both forward positions.

But speaking to the media ahead of Real Madrid’s LaLiga clash with Osasuna on Saturday, Ancelotti insisted that he doesn’t want to ‘switch the position of Vinicius, who makes the difference for the Los Blancos.’

“I didn’t want to switch the position of player [Vinicius], who makes the difference for us,” Ancelotti said.

“Sometimes during a game he might switch with Mbappé, and I don’t intend to change that. It’s not an issue with offensive positioning; it’s defensive.”

LaLiga: He has much more talent – Aguero picks better player between Vinicius, Yamal

by admin

Manchester City legend, Sergio Aguero, has said that Barcelona prodigy, Lamine Yamal is more talented than Real Madrid superstar, Vinicius Jr.

The former striker stated this after watching both players face each other in the La Liga on Saturday.

Barcelona, Aguero’s former club, thrashed Real Madrid 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu with Yamal scoring the third goal.

Yamal played his first game for Barcelona senior team in April 2023 and has seen a meteoric rise in popularity and footballing prowess since then.

The La Masia graduate has scored 13 goals and created 16 more in 65 games for Barcelona across competitions.

In an interview with Mundo Deportivo (via Stake) Aguero said, “In style of play, speaking of talent, Lamine has much more than Vinicius although Vinicius has more experience and is more of a player with titles won with Madrid.

“Vinicius is one of the ‘top 3’ in the world but for age and talent, I prefer Lamine more.

“If it were up to me, I would have one on each side of my team and let the opponent pray. It’s like when Messi and Neymar were together.”

LaLiga: ‘Criminals’ – Vinicius slams Real Madrid fans over Lamine Yamal

by admin

Real Madrid superstar, Vinicius Jr. has labelled his club’s fans criminals following racist attacks on Barcelona youngster, Lamine Yamal.

Yamal faced racist abuse during Real Madrid’s LaLiga clash against Barcelona on Saturday.

Los Blancos were helpless as they watched Barça thrash them 4-0 at Santiago Bernabeu in the season’s first El Clasico.

Robert Lewandowski scored in the 54th and 56th minutes and Lamine Yamal made it three. Raphinha completed the scoreline at the 84th minute.

A major talking point after the game was the reported racist and xenophobic slurs directed at Yamal.

Barça Universal reports that the deplorable incident occurred while the youngster celebrated with his teammates.

Celebrating his goal, Yamal performed Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic ‘calma’ and followed it up with Vinicius’ dance routine and this seems to have displeased Madridistas in the stands.

“It is regrettable what happened yesterday at the Bernabéu with racist insults. There is no place for these criminals in our society,” Vinicius wrote on social media via MadridXtra.

“All my support to Lamine, Ansu and Raphinha. I know that Madrid and the police will do things to identify and punish the guilty!”

LaLiga: ‘Real Madrid fear them’ – Thierry Henry names new Messi, Ronaldinho, Iniesta in Barça team

by admin

Arsenal legend, Theirry Henry, has said that Barcelona are always a nightmare to Real Madrid.

According to the Frenchman, while other European teams fear Real Madrid, Los Blancos are in turn afraid of Barcelona.

Henry stated this after watching Barcelona thrash Real Madrid 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.

The former Barcelona striker also likened the performance of Hansi Flick’s men to Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona side from 2011.

The former Arsenal star compared three La Blaugrana players, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Pedri, to Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, and Andres Iniesta, respectively.

He said via Barca Universal, “European teams fear Real Madrid, and Real Madrid fears Barça. Barcelona has become a team of settling scores. After Bayern, it was Real Madrid’s turn.

“Lamine Yamal plays like Messi, Raphinha like Ronaldinho, and Pedri like Iniesta. “It’s like watching the Barcelona of 2011. The team has returned to what it used to be.

“Nobody will be able to stop them. They will win everything, and any team that stands in their way will suffer the same fate.”

“So I should use it when needed, like tonight!”

LaLiga: Why Guardiola told Messi to ‘shut up’ at Barcelona

by admin

Former Barcelona defender, Rafael Marquez, has recalled the time when the then-manager Pep Guardiola told Lionel Messi to “shut up”.

The incident happened after a five-a-side bust-up in training.

Marquez played for Barca between 2003 and 2010 and lined up alongside Messi during that stint.

On one occasion, the two players had an angry confrontation, after Marquez expressed his anger at Messi for holding onto the ball for too long.

It has now emerged that Guardiola stepped in to defend the Mexican and put Messi in his place.

Marquez said, as quoted by The Mirror: “Yes, in a five-a-side game [we clashed].

“He was on my team and of course, Messi had the ball. He had the goal to shoot and he didn’t shoot.

“We were losing and we said to him: ‘Messi, shoot, Messi, score a goal’. Nothing.

“Until I got p***ed off and told him: ‘Messi, let go of the ball, bro.’

“So he approached and answered me. Pep arrived and said: ‘Messi, shut up. You have to respect Rafa’s hierarchy.’”

LaLiga: Iheanacho will get more game time – Sevilla coach, Pimienta

by admin

Sevilla manager, Garcia Pimienta, has assured Kelechi Iheanacho will get more opportunities in subsequent games.

Iheanacho has made just five league appearances since linking up with former UEFA Europa League champions on a free transfer in the summer.

The Nigerian was an unused substitute in the Rojiblancos last two games against Real Betis and Barcelona.

Pimienta has however promised the forward will get more game time.

“I’m happy, the other day he (Iheanacho) was going to come on to the pitch. But Suso’s injury happened and that was a huge impact on us because he’s training well. The lad deserves to play more minutes,” Pimienta was quoted by infobiwenger.

“The other day, even though the result wasnt good, I was going to put him in.”

Sevilla will be away to Espanyol in the LaLiga on Friday (today).

LaLiga: He’s been overshadowed by Vinicius, Mbappe – Petit wants Arsenal to sign Real Madrid star

by admin

Former Chelsea star, Emmanuel Petit, has urged Arsenal to sign Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid.

The Frenchman is of the opinion that the Brazilian is being underrated at Real Madrid and does not get the limelight he deserves at Santiago Bernabeu.

According to him, the Brazil International is being overshadowed by the other top players at the club.

He believes Mikel Arteta’s side can lure the attacker to the Emirates he because he does not get the credit due to Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.

“He has so much quality and I have always said he will be such a great player for them. If they cannot sign Williams, Arsenal need to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid as he’s so underrated and gets overshadowed by Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr,” he told Genting Casino.

“He reminds me a bit of Sylvain Wiltord when I was at Arsenal. I really think he would be a star at the Emirates and be an amazing player who can play across all three positions across the front line.

“This guy is so underrated and perhaps he feels like he is being overshadowed at Real Madrid. In any case, he could be an absolute superstar for Arsenal and I rate him very much. He scores goals, gives assists and gives great energy on the pitch.”

The Brazilian has scored three goals and provided two assists in 12 games Real Madrid across competitions this season and has started eight games.
