Real Madrid news

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has addressed rumours that star midfielder Enzo Fernandez has attracted interest from both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Speculation has emerged that the Blues could be willing to sanction the sale of their World Cup-winning midfielder if the right offer comes along, with the two clubs believed to be keen on the Argentina star.

Cristiano Ronaldo is being backed to complete a successful transition from football player to movie star once record-shattering boots are hung up for the final time. The Portuguese GOAT has already dabbled in the film industry and is - as a “billionaire” superstar - expected to head down that path on a permanent basis, allowing Oscar recognition to be pursued.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has launched a passionate defence of Brahim Diaz following the Real Madrid star's "bizarre" penalty miss in the Africa Cup of Nations final. The Spaniard insisted the forward is "neither an assassin nor a bad person" for attempting a Panenka in stoppage time, while Sergio Ramos has told his former team-mate to keep his head held high after the heartbreaking defeat to Senegal.

How to watch the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Monaco, as well as kick-off time and team news.

As the Champions League picks back up again, GOAL's writers look at the state of the competition and make some big predictions as the group phase draws to a close.

Jurgen Klopp says he "doesn't expect" to change his mind and go back into management amid links with Real Madrid. The German hasn't been in the dugout since leaving Liverpool in 2024, and despite showing no signs of returning to coaching, the managerial links keep coming. Now, Red Bull's global head of football has addressed his future, and whether or not he considers himself "world class".

Kylian Mbappe has sought to defend Real Madrid team-mates Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham from the brutal boos that have come their way. Restless natives at the Bernabeu took to jeering their own players during a La Liga clash with Levante, with certain individuals considered to have contributed to club legend Xabi Alonso losing his job as manager.

It has been revealed when Xabi Alonso will look to get back into management following his shock sacking by Real Madrid. The 44-year-old lasted just seven months, taking in 34 games, at the Bernabeu before being relieved of his duties. He is already being linked with other clubs, including a few in the Premier League, but will not be rushing into another role.

GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere. The Premier League is still obviously one of the world's most entertaining divisions and the Championship can prove fantastic for development, but there are more options out there.

While goals were hard to come by in the Premier League over the weekend, there were still plenty of intriguing narratives that emerged in England's top-flight, while elsewhere around Europe there was plenty of entertainment to be had ahead of the return of the Champions League this midweek.

Neymar remains “the most talented player in Brazil”, Kleberson has told GOAL, with Carlo Ancelotti being told that he must find space for the Santos superstar in his 2026 World Cup plans. The man who helped the Selecao to global glory in 2002 has also picked out the natural heir to Neymar’s playmaking crown and explained what a modern day great needs to do in order to join the GOATs.

Jurgen Klopp has firmly shut down speculation linking him with the Real Madrid job following Xabi Alonso’s dismissal. The former Liverpool manager, now Red Bull’s Head of Global Soccer, insists he is "completely at peace" with his new strategic role. One year into the job, Klopp is focused on mentoring coaches and reshaping the Red Bull network, ruling out a return to the dugout anytime soon.
