Match28 Aug 2027

28 unbeaten for Real Madrid

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 28 matches without defeat is a foundation Real Madrid did not have in the autumn.

Rayo Vallecano are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Real Madrid will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Raúl Castro out for 23 days

The medical room confirms 23 days on the sidelines for Raúl Castro, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Gonzalo wants to come home

“I did not go to Burgos to sit and watch. I want to come back to Real Madrid and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Match28 Aug 2027

Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruña take a point apiece

It finished 2-2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Jude Bellingham finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Real Madrid have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

The spotlight tightens on Marc Cucurella

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Álvaro Carreras linked with a move away

The name of Álvaro Carreras keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Real Madrid say nothing, which says plenty.

Somebody is after Vinícius Júnior’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Vinícius Júnior suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Real Madrid have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Match21 Aug 2027

Real Madrid silence Barcelona

A derby is never about the football alone, but the football helped: 3-1, and the away end emptied early. Bragging rights renewed for another season.

Market23 Aug 2027

Málaga come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Real Madrid did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Match21 Aug 2027

Real Madrid make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Real Madrid have 3 straight wins of it.

Market23 Aug 2027

Raúl Castro is a Real Madrid player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Oihan Parra is a Real Madrid player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Market23 Aug 2027

Enzo Cruz comes home

The shirt still fits. Enzo Cruz is back at Real Madrid, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad23 Aug 2027

The manager makes an example of Thibaut Courtois

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Thibaut Courtois lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Arda Güler has seen enough of Almería

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Real Madrid, and 1 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.
