Alexander-Arnold Says He Will Always Love Liverpool No Matter the Reception

Fola Badmus04 mins

Trent Alexander-Arnold says he will always love Liverpool regardless of how he is received at Anfield when Real Madrid face his former club in the Champions League on Tuesday. The 27-year-old defender is expected to be included in Real Madrid’s squad for the clash after recovering from a hamstring injury. Speaking to Prime Video Sport ahead of the match, Alexander-Arnold said: “When the draw was announced, I think everyone kind of knew it was going to happen — it was destined for that fixture to come. Obviously, they’re a top team, so I knew at some point I’d end up going back there or playing against Liverpool. It’s happening so soon. Mixed emotions. I think it’ll be a very, very difficult game but one that I’m excited for.” Alexander-Arnold said he will not celebrate if he scores and addressed the reception he expects from Liverpool fans, adding: “Whatever way I’m received is the decision of the fans. I’ll always love the club, I’ll always be a fan of the club. I’ll always be thankful for the opportunities and the things we achieved together – they’ll live with me forever. No matter what, my feelings won’t change towards Liverpool. I’ve got memories there that will last me a lifetime and, no matter how I’m received, that won’t change.” The right-back’s move to Madrid reunited him with England team-mate Jude Bellingham, who he admitted played a key role in convincing him to join the Spanish giants. “There was a lot of speculation, the ‘agent Jude’ stuff,” Alexander-Arnold said. “It was more so in his first season (at Real), we’d meet up at England camps and everyone would want to know what it was like behind the scenes. “He said it was incredible, and he’d never seen anything like it. The drive from the whole club to win and the expectation to win. He talked so highly of the club, and I’d made my mind up at the end of the day, I needed a change for me. I wanted a new challenge on and off the pitch.”

Real Madrid and Super League Promoters Seek Over $4 Billion in Compensation from UEFA

Real Madrid and Super League Promoters Seek Over $4 Billion in Compensation from UEFA

Wale busari03 mins

Real Madrid and the promoters of the European Super League are seeking more than $4 billion in damages from UEFA, claiming the governing body unfairly blocked the breakaway competition, a source told AFP on Thursday. A Spanish court on Wednesday rejected an appeal from UEFA related to the Super League. The Super League, proposed in 2021 by 12 top European clubs including Real Madrid and Barcelona, collapsed shortly after its announcement amid strong opposition from English fans and threats from UEFA and FIFA. In December 2023, the European Court of Justice ruled that UEFA’s ban on the Super League violated European law. Last year, a Spanish judge found that FIFA and UEFA had “prevented free competition” by opposing the league, ruling their actions as anti-competitive and an abuse of dominant position. The Madrid court also dismissed appeals from La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation on Wednesday. A22 Sports Management, the league’s promoter, said UEFA had “refused any path of compromise or reform” despite months of discussions, leaving them “no other choice” but to seek compensation for the damages caused. “After years of legal proceedings, UEFA can no longer ignore binding court decisions,” said A22 CEO Bernd Reichart. “By abusing their monopoly and blocking new initiatives, they have caused significant harm to clubs, players, and other stakeholders across Europe.” UEFA, however, stressed that the ruling does not validate the abandoned 2021 Super League project nor affect its current regulations, which were updated in 2022 and 2024. “These rules ensure that any cross-border competitions are assessed on objective, transparent, non-discriminatory, and proportionate criteria,” the governing body said. Real Madrid described the ruling as a “confirmation that UEFA seriously infringed European Union free competition rules by abusing its dominant position.” The club said it will continue to work “for the good of global football and fans” while pursuing substantial damages from UEFA.

Wale busari01 mins

Real Madrid came out on top in Sunday’s El Clásico, defeating arch-rivals Barcelona 2–1 in a thrilling encounter at the Santiago Bernabéu. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring for Madrid early in the first half with a clinical finish, before Jude Bellingham doubled the lead shortly after the break with a powerful strike from the edge of the box. Barcelona fought back late in the game, pulling one back through Robert Lewandowski, but their efforts weren’t enough to stop Madrid from claiming all three points in front of a roaring home crowd. The victory strengthens Madrid’s position at the top of the La Liga table and extends their unbeaten run against Barcelona in competitive fixtures this season. It was a fiery match filled with intensity, drama, and world-class football — a true El Clásico that lived up to its reputation.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Mbappe Leads Los Blancos into High-Stakes El Clasico Showdown

Kamal Yalwa04 mins

The Santiago Bernabeu is set to host one of football’s biggest rivalries on Sunday as Real Madrid welcome defending champions Barcelona for the first El Clasico of the 2025/26 La Liga season. Los Blancos, under new manager Xabi Alonso, currently sit two points clear of Barça and will be looking to extend their advantage — powered by the sensational form of Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman has scored 10 of Madrid’s 20 league goals and 15 in all competitions this season, leading Spain’s scoring charts. Last season, Barcelona dominated the rivalry with four straight Clasico victories, including wins in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. That run culminated in Carlo Ancelotti’s departure and Alonso’s appointment as Madrid boss. Madrid enter Sunday’s clash with questions over their big-game resilience after a 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid and a Club World Cup exit to Paris Saint-Germain, but a win over Barcelona would ease concerns and open a five-point gap at the top. Alonso has built a promising partnership between Mbappe and young Turkish playmaker Arda Guler, whose ability to find space and feed Mbappe’s runs has been crucial. With Barcelona’s defence showing early-season fragility, Madrid are expected to target the spaces in behind. For Barcelona, assistant coach Marcus Sorg will take charge on the touchline as Hansi Flick serves a suspension from last week’s win over Girona. He acknowledged that the absence of winger Raphinha, who suffered a hamstring setback, is a major blow but insisted the squad has sufficient depth to cope. The spotlight will also fall on 18-year-old Lamine Yamal, who faces added pressure after his controversial comments about Real Madrid. Sorg said the criticism will serve as motivation for the young winger as he takes on Madrid left-back Alvaro Carreras. This is the 262nd meeting between Spain’s two giants. Real Madrid hold 105 wins to Barcelona’s 104. Kick-off is at 4:15 p.m. local time (14:15 GMT), with live coverage on TrendBrio Sport beginning two hours earlier. Predicted LineupsReal Madrid: Courtois; Valverde, Militao, Asencio, Carreras; Guler, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Mastantuono, Mbappe, Vinicius.Barcelona: Szczesny; E Garcia, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; Pedri, De Jong; Yamal, Fermin, Rashford; Ferran.

Real Madrid Beat Juventus 1-0 To Keep Perfect Champions League Record

Wale busari02 mins

Real Madrid claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Juventus at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on October 22, 2025, extending their perfect run in the Champions League group stage. The decisive moment came in the 57th minute when Vinícius Júnior’s shot hit the post, and Jude Bellingham was first to react, slotting the ball into the net for his first goal of the season since returning from shoulder surgery. Juventus pressured at intervals but struggled to create clear-cut chances. Real Madrid’s defense, led by Éder Militão and Antonio Rüdiger, remained solid, while Thibaut Courtois made key saves to keep the clean sheet, including a sharp stop from a long-range strike by Ángel Di María. The win gives Real Madrid three wins from three group stage matches, while Juventus remains winless with just two points from three games, facing an uphill task to advance. Bellingham’s performance underscored the growing impact of Real Madrid’s young stars in pivotal moments.

Brazil Coach Carlo Ancelotti Gets One-Year Suspended Sentence in Spanish Tax Case

Fola Badmus11 mins

A Spanish court has sentenced Brazil national team coach and former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti to a one-year prison term for tax fraud relating to his image rights earnings in 2014. The ruling, handed down on Wednesday by a court in Madrid, found the Italian coach guilty of failing to declare revenues from his image rights while managing Real Madrid during his first spell at the club. However, under Spanish law, first-time non-violent offenders receiving sentences under two years are rarely required to serve jail time. This means Ancelotti is unlikely to spend any time in prison. The court also acquitted Ancelotti of a second alleged tax offense from 2015, ruling there was insufficient evidence to prove wrongdoing during that year. Ancelotti, who is set to take charge of Brazil at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has not yet publicly commented on the verdict.
