Real Madrid news

We still have a title race in England! Manchester City's hopes of winning the Premier League looked to be over after they fell behind to another stunning free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai at Anfield on Sunday, but Pep Guardiola's men produce a sensational fightback to defeat Liverpool 2-1 and close the game to leaders Arsenal to just six points.

Kylian Mbappe is “on track” to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid, claims Los Blancos boss Alvaro Arbeloa, with the French superstar being backed to chase down a record-breaking tally of goals at the Bernabeu. Mbappe was on target in his latest appearance - a 2-0 victory over Valencia - and has reached 82 efforts in total for the Spanish heavyweights.

Alvaro Carreras scored a memorable goal and Kylian Mbappe added a late second to carry an otherwise mixed Real Madrid past Valencia, 2-0. Los Blancos were well short of their best in a tricky Sunday night fixture, but a duo of second half goals spared any blushes, and ensured that they are very much in the title race after a winter slump.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha is reportedly a priority target for Real Madrid as Los Blancos eye a midfield signing ahead of next season. The 25-year-old has become one of the world's best during his time in Paris and is now believed to be top of Real Madrid's list of transfer targets as they make plans for the future, which also include the likes of Endrick and Nico Paz.

Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa has accused Clasico rivals Barcelona of generating the “biggest scandal in the history of Spanish football”. The Blaugrana remain embroiled in the long-running Negreira case, with accusations being levelled at the Catalan giants of bribing match officials. No definitive conclusion to that saga has been reached, much to the bemusement of Arbeloa.

Lyon boss Paulo Fonseca has reprimanded the officials who took charge of his side’s game against FC Nantes after Real Madrid loanee Endrick was shown a red card in what the Portuguese coach described as ‘very harsh’ circumstances. Fonseca continued to criticise the referee and demanded that his forward gets protection from persistent fouling by the Ligue 1 officials.

La Liga champions Barcelona have issued a statement to confirm they have officially pulled out of the European Super League. The Catalan giants were one of the original 12 clubs to sign up to the controversial project and are one of the last to leave, leaving bitter rivals Real Madrid as the only remaining team still in support of the ill-fated scheme.

Real Madrid star Rodrygo has sustained a hamstring injury and faces a period on the sidelines, in the wake of his Champions League suspension. The Brazil international was shown a red card during their 4-2 defeat to Benfica and will subsequently be absent from the rematch between the two sides.

Kylian Mbappe has sent a bailiff to Paris Saint-Germain to demand €5.9 million from his former employers, with the club now facing a deadline of eight days within which to pay the striker. The Ligue 1 giants have already paid out €55 million (£48m/$65m) of a €60.9m (£53m/$72m) settlement.

Eden Hazard has hailed a surprise Chelsea ace as the best player in the Premier League and also revealed his favourite memory from an incredible career that saw him play for the likes of the Blues, Real Madrid and Ligue 1 side Lille, in an exclusive interview with GOAL.

Manchester United have been told to go and sign Jude Bellingham from Real Madrid to get back towards being a proper football team. Bellingham is having a difficult third season at the Bernabeu, receiving criticism for inconsistent performances under Xabi Alonso and successor Alvaro Arbeloa. And a former Red Devils defender believes they should try and bring him to Old Trafford.

Real Madrid’s Champions League campaign has suffered a significant blow after Rodrygo was handed an extended two-match suspension by UEFA. The Brazilian was sent off during a dramatic 4-2 defeat to Benfica, and his punishment ensures he will miss both legs of the upcoming knockout play-off rematch against the Portuguese giants. With stars like Jude Bellingham also sidelined, head coach Alvaro Arbeloa faces a major tactical crisis.
