Real Madrid seeks serenity
The Bernabéu is already starting to rumble. After the victory against Inter, Real supporters did not hesitate to whistle their team and in particular Vinicius Junior, once again in difficulty. Mbappé also suffered some of the public’s anger, in a context where Madrid supporters are becoming more and more demanding after a long period without a major trophy. José Mourinho therefore seeks to calm the situation and get everyone back in the same direction. Real has also set itself a very clear objective before the next break: to score nine points out of nine against Rayo Vallecano, Elche then Atlético de Madrid. Three meetings considered as real finals to find serenity.
Raphinha towards an extension
Raphinha has been working in Europe since the start of the season. Sport highlights the Brazilian’s completely crazy statistics: eight goals in just five official matches, with a goal every 49 minutes. He has found the net in each of Barça’s matches and is currently posting better numbers than Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. Performances that push Barça to accelerate their extension. A.S. And Sport explain that the Blaugranas wish to extend his contract, currently valid until 2028, with the possibility of going until 2030. Raphinha, who has become first captain and perfectly installed in Flick’s system, also wishes to continue at Barcelona despite offers from Saudi Arabia.
Iraola hands Liverpool keys to Wirtz
On the Liverpool side, the Daily Mirror is interested in Florian Wirtz. Despite still fairly discreet statistics since the start of the season, Andoni Iraola considers the German to be the central piece of his new Liverpool. The Reds coach wants to install him permanently as number 10 and believes that he is the player capable of making all the club’s new offensive weapons work, notably Bradley Barcola, Victor Muñoz and Alexander Isak. For Iraola, the numbers will come with time: the main thing is that Wirtz makes the team play better.
