Luis Enrique, who stepped down from the Spanish National team manager position, has said today that his 9 year old daughter Xana has died after suffering from cancer. Absolutely terrible news. 9

How? Apart from a bad 18 month spell in-between the 16/17 and  17/18 seasons, he's been very consistent. Ronaldo really benefitted from the space that Benzema created for him. Once he left,

El Clásico tonight in the Copa del Rey SF (2 legs).

Real are close to full strength, bar Alaba.

Barcelona are missing Lewandowski, Dembélé and Pedri. Christensen only makes the bench.

Real should win.

But man did this fixture fall off compared to 10 years ago.

just in time for us to play them ffs

 

Their best XI is probably:

En-Nesyri

B.Gill-------------------------Lamela

Rakitić--------Jordán

Gueye

Acuña------Gudelj-----Nianzou----Montiel

Bono

It won't matter. A far cry from that 2018 side. The only joy that Sevilla could possibly have is exploiting Lisandro's lack of height, as En-Nesyri is brilliant aerially.

I think the tie will be over at Old Trafford.

BTW I didn't even know the classico was on last night till I saw some stuff pop up on social media near the end of the game, IDK if it's the lack of relative star power compared to years prior or it being on 'viaplay' (previously premier sports which I think is more of a 'thing' in ireland?) or what but I just didn't have that interest at all

2 nil to Madrid in the 2nd leg  of the Copa 

1-2 on Agg.

Edit: Benzema hat trick 0-4 to Madrid now. Catalonians mauled in their own back yard. 

Karim Benzema is just the second player to score a hat-trick for Real Madrid at the Nou Camp, after Ferenc Puskas. Elite company.

Atlético have been brilliant in recent weeks. Simeone found a system that works. Griezmann is playing some of the best football of his career.

They went 2nd last night. Real are focused on The Copa del Rey final this coming weekend, and then City in their season defining games.

Barcelona don't play particularly great football. But they rarely concede and keep doing enough to stroll to a La Liga title. Lewandowski has been poor in 2023. They can't resign Messi and keep him. It would be a disaster. 

There's the makings of a very good Barcelona team if they can sign another top player or two.

Busquets to leave Barcelona spending 18 years at the club. What a glittering career he won literally the lot in club and international football a rare feat for a pro footballer.

Regarded as one of the best deep-lying midfielders of his generation he said the times right.

One stat that cracked me up was over his 15 years with the senior team he has scored just 18 goals and provided only 40 assists. Even bearing in mind his position that is at best very average. Surprised me that.
