Real Madrid proved why this club is so great this week. After a crazy battle lasting 120 minutes against Manchester City, the Merengues snatched their ticket to the last four of the Champions League on penalties at the Etihad Stadium. Facing the favorite Cityzens and building on their last coronation in the competition, there is no doubt in saying that this is quite an achievement for Carlo Ancelotti’s gang. Building on their successful escapade on the other side of the Channel, Jude Bellingham’s teammates returned to their homeland this Sunday for an anthology Clasico. Trailing twice, the locals secured victory at the end of the match with another valuable goal from the Englishman in added time.
A suitable success which allows Real to rush towards a 36th coronation in the league. In the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, having one hand and four fingers on the La Liga title, all is well in the best of all worlds at Real Madrid. However, the situation remains paradoxical for several leaders of the group. Indeed, with its strategy of only renewing the contracts of players in their thirties for one year, the capital club is exposing some of its players to spring stress. This season, this is the case for Luka Modrić. Less used this season, the Croatian genius nonetheless remains a monument in Madrid.
Luka Modric wants to continue at Real Madrid, Lucas Vázquez will be there next year
Still considered a starter last year, the 2018 Ballon d’Or was extended following a consensus within the most successful club in C1. A year later, the situation has changed somewhat. With truncated playing time, even if he started the Clasico against Barça, Modric still wants to continue with Real Madrid. Not that he is happy with his comfort in Madrid, but the latter really wants to continue the adventure because he still feels important sportingly and in the Madrid locker room. But now, highly esteemed by a Santiago Bernabéu who cheers him on every occasion, the former Tottenham has no news from Real Madrid at the moment as stated Marca in today’s edition.
Author of a huge performance against FC Barcelona, Lucas Vázquez should continue with the club chaired by Florentino Pérez. While his contract expires at the end of the season, the versatile 32-year-old player will extend for another season, as recalled A.S. This morning. His physical reliability and his extensive experience within the White House necessarily speak in his favor. Benefiting from golden youth, Real Madrid is not neglecting its oldest elements either and will therefore make decisions in the coming weeks for its thirty-year-olds. As a reminder, Toni Kroos should also be there next year while several sources affirm that Nacho seems more and more inclined to leave his long-time club at the end of the season.
