  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Real Madrid have struggled this season, with their back-line looking shaky against both Barcelona and AC Milan as they conceded a remarkable seven goals in just two appearances recently.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Before Manchester United sealed the agreement to sign Leny Yoro, Real Madrid were frontrunners to sign the budding teenager.
