Real Madrid are having a tough season in which the number of matches and the many injuries to the squad have forced them to rotate. Carlo Ancelotti’s Plan B has performed perfectly with the minutes he has had. Players like Brahim and Endrick have made the most of their few opportunities in the shadow of the attacking players.
Brahim, on a par with Cristiano or Benzema
Brahim made it 2-1 against Atlético de Madrid with a super goal of talent that had the crowd on their feet. The player made it clear once again that he is a player capable of changing a game with a great individual move at the start of the second half.
The Moroccan international received a pass from Mendy and, inside the area, he ‘wound up’ the Uruguayan centre-back Giménez with a tremendous turn that left him sitting on the grass before beating Oblak with a right-footed shot into the far corner. It was a great goal that left no one indifferent, despite the subsequent controversy over whether or not Vinicius was positionally offside during the play.
With this goal, Brahim is the fifth Real Madrid player to score against Atlético de Madrid in three different competitions in the 21st century. Before him, it was Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Rodrygo Goes. This season he has scored a total of six goals for Real Madrid.
Liverpool want to strengthen and repay Arnold’s
Liverpool’s season is having a bittersweet taste. The Premier League seems to be a sure title for Arne Slot’s team, who, however, have already been eliminated from the Champions League where they were clear favorites for many. Their good work in the English league has put many players on the map, which, added to the English team’s interest in growing and increasing their performance, means that the club is already working on it in the offices.
Real Madrid and Alexander-Arnold have reportedly reached an agreement for the player to join Santiago Bernabéu. He would have a wage of 15 million euros per year and would also receive a signing bonus. The contract would be for five or six seasons. A signing that has been in the making for months and which seems to be confirmed and will be made official as soon as the current season ends, in which Real Madrid are still immersed in the fight for the treble: Champions League, Copa del Rey and La Liga.
Brahim Díaz, on Liverpool’s radar
The name of Brahim Díaz has been gaining traction in the offices at Anfield. The Spaniard, who returned to his club Real Madrid in 2023 after successful negotiations and a subsequent loan spell at AC Milan, has proven to be a versatile player with the ability to unbalance opponents in the final third of the pitch. The player, who is not a first-choice under Carlo Ancelotti, has demonstrated his ability to play in different attacking positions for Real Madrid, which makes him an interesting player for Liverpool.
The representatives of the English club have already held informal talks with Real Madrid to find out the status of the 24-year-old player. The Reds could make a significant investment if the departure of Salah is confirmed. His contract has not yet been renewed and he could be interested in a new challenge in his career.
