Latest Rumours On David De Gea And Mateo Kovacic

... signed a new contract with United and has continued to polish his reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in the game. Here's a look at how he compares statistically this season to Courtois, as well as Madrid's No. 1, Keylor Navas. Goalkeeper Comparison: De Gea, Courtois, Navas. De Gea. While De Gea is clearly a world-class performer, Madrid's pursuit of a goalkeeper will likely be fuelled by some uneven recent performances from Navas. The Costa Rica international has been at fault in some big games in recent weeks, costing Madrid goals against Sevilla , Napoli and Las Palmas with lacklustre positioning. As Opta Jose noted, he's struggled to replicate the sensational form he showcased in 2015-16.

Is Casemiro Real Madrid's Most Important Player

... in his own way) as any other who can lay claim to be elite in world football: Sergio Busquets, Nemanja Matic, Xabi Alonso, Fabinho. Without any of those players, their respective sides suffer. Without Casemiro, Real Madrid can suffer more than most. Casemiro-plus-two—that's the Madrid midfield arrangement under Zinedine Zidane, with the French boss sticking resolutely to the Brazilian, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos as his go-to trio whenever a key game crops up or rotation isn't absolutely necessary. The Brazilian has played the full 90 minutes in all three Champions League games he has been fit for, didn't miss a single minute of the Club World Cup or European Super Cup—both finals went to extra time—and played in 10 Liga games in succession once he returned from injury. Even in the Copa del Rey, an opportunity to rotate Casemiro was spurned: He was injured for the ...

Barcelona Lose La Liga Lead To Real Madrid

... Barcelona lost 2-1 at relegation-threatened Deportivo La Coruna in its first match after its amazing win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, and Madrid took advantage with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Real Betis, despite an own-goal by Navas. Cristiano Ronaldo equalized before halftime and Sergio Ramos netted an 81 st-minute winner for Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium after Navas had pushed the ball into his own net while trying to regain control following a close-range shot. Navas made amends with a superb save two minutes into second-half injury time to secure Madrid the victory and a two-point lead over Barcelona, whose 19-game unbeaten streak in the league ended in La Coruna. "It's part of the game, everyone makes mistakes," Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said of Navas. "In the end he saved us. The save he made has given us the three points.". Without some of the starters from the 6-1 victory over PSG in the Round of 16 on Wednesday, which reversed a 4-0 first-leg ...

Latest Rumours On James Rodriguez And Eden Hazard

... having previously worked together at the Santiago Bernabeu for a season. Rodriguez enjoyed his best campaign in Madrid colours under Ancelotti. The report also noted that  Juventus and Manchester United both hold an interest in Rodriguez should Madrid decide to sell. Here's a reminder of just how potent the playmaker was during his first season at the club, excelling on the back of some stunning displays at the FIFA World Cup. Since Ancelotti's departure at the end of the 2014-15 season, things have gone downhill for Rodriguez at the Bernabeu. Current manager Zinedine Zidane has used him as an impact player from the bench or a midfielder who starts in less significant matches. It's a far cry from the responsibility Rodriguez enjoyed under Ancelotti, where he was at the creative axis for some of Madrid's best performances in his debut term. Rodriguez was excellent working under Ancelotti. Denis Doyle/Getty Images. Even in his current place on the periphery of the squad, Rodriguez continues to make an impression, with two goals and five assists in just 611 minutes of La Liga action this season. Per Squawka ...

Real Madrid 2017 Vs. Real Madrid 2007

... close to the end of his Real Madrid adventure. Both aggressive, aerially dominant and somewhat fiery characters, they also share the similarity of being somewhat underrated or perhaps just overshadowed by their team-mates. Helguera was an immense player in his prime but just the wrong side of that level in 2007, while Pepe—although inconsistent with form and fitness this term—was exceptional up until the summer. DF: Marcelo vs. Roberto Carlos. 6 of 13. CRISTINA QUICLER/Getty Images. At left-back, it's a true battle of Brazilian legends, with Roberto Carlos dominating the flank for year after year before Marcelo took over at Real Madrid. Personal preference will count for much as to which player comes out on top, and even then it depends on if the onlooker has managed to see both players in their prime. This was Roberto Carlos' final season at Madrid, but even at this stage he still rampaged forward, was tremendous at racing back to make last-ditch challenges and could dribble his way out of trouble. Marcelo, ...
