Real Madrid are still grappling with the massive void left by Toni Kroos following the German maestro's decision to hang up his boots two years ago. Despite boasting a midfield packed with world-class talent, Los Blancos have struggled to replicate the unique control and tempo-setting qualities that defined their recent era of dominance. A prominent former coach has now shed light on the issue, suggesting that a Barcelona star possesses the exact profile needed to restore balance.

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly ready to make a significant tactical adjustment by dropping Vinicius Jr to the bench for the upcoming clash against Villarreal. The decision comes as the Portuguese tactician looks to manage the forward’s dip in form before the season's first El Clasico.

Marc Cucurella has called for patience following Real Madrid’s underwhelming start to the new campaign under Jose Mourinho. The Spanish international, who swapped Chelsea for the Santiago Bernabeu in a high-profile summer switch, insists that the team needs time to adapt to their new manager’s philosophy.

Barcelona and Spain sensation Lamine Yamal has opened up on his quest for the Ballon d'Or, suggesting that his youth might actually count against him in the final voting. The teenage winger believes that while he is already performing at an elite level, voters often succumb to the idea that younger players have plenty of time to win the award later in their careers.
