This year is happening with a huge difference of Barcelona over the other teams in LaLiga, even in the Champions League has not existed a set that so far can decipher the number of variants that have included the Catalans to that possession game at They has got used to the world of football.

Lionel Messi, as usual, has been the main star, this season the Argentine has recovered his best version as if the 31 years with which he already has not weighed at all. The Blaugrana crack is far surpassing a Cristiano Ronaldo who has had to settle for Serie A Italian, seeing their chances ended with a painful elimination against Ajax.

Despite this advantage, Messi wants to secure the Golden Ball without any surprise at the last minute, in that sense, he is aware that he must play the Champions League finalThe moment of form and the security of the southpaw is such, that he has bet with Piqué and Suárez that will mark in both parties against Liverpool and that they will pass, a meal was played with them.
Now the English are worried, since it is not the first time that Messi makes some bet inside the dressing room that ends up fulfilling in the parties, it is only necessary to remember that anecdote of Yaya Touré, in which the culé star commented to him which soccer players of the picture rival were going to be the victims of their pipes.

After several campaigns without being able to be protagonists in the European championship at the level of clubs of greater prestige, Barcelona does not think to miss this opportunity in which it seems oriented the way towards the conquest of that Oregon that was targeted as the course began. Sixth Golden Ball for Messi?


The Champions have left interesting news for Barcelona , which at this stage of the campaign begins to show a superlative football, coinciding the highest point of performance with the crucial moments, this has invaded almost the entire staff. Against Manchester United was the resurrection of one of the most criticized players of the Culé cast, but a gesture ended closing the door to continue for the following year.

When the tie against United was already uphill for the English, the final touch to close a magical night was Philippe Coutinho with a goal worthy of his best version, however, he made the decision to celebrate with a gesture that was aimed at the stands, specifically to its detractors, who has been the target of many criticisms.

This behavior was disapproved by Messi , as it seems incongruous to retaliate against the fans when he has had a really unfortunate year, far from the level that was expected when he was fully adapted to Barça The Argentine crack thinks that it lacks maturity and that it would be better in another institution.

The main club interested to facilitate his departure is Juventus Cristiano Ronaldo already knows that he is negotiating for the Brazilian and believes that he can contribute a lot to the squad, which begins to strengthen to reduce the anger of the Portuguese for the sport failure.
The fate of Coutinho is increasingly distant from Barcelona , and when the player finally began to wash his football image, he makes an improper mistake of someone who represents an exemplary club. The couple Coutinho Ronaldo can bring many joys to the Juventus squad that seeks answers to a premature elimination that was not in the prognosis or the biggest pessimist.

The future of Exequiel Palacios moves away more and more from Real Madrid . The Argentine footballer, whose signing is closed since November, does not convince Zinedine Zidane.
Florentino Perez became obsessed with the crack of River Plate and hastened to reach an agreement with the millionaires and with the 20-year-old player, with whom he agreed to his arrival in the summer at the Santiago Bernabéu in exchange for 20 million euros.
However, the return of 'Zizou' to the White House dynamited an incorporation that was taken for granted. The French coach sees it very green to fill the void left by Modric and Kroos and prefers to focus on achieving the hiring of more contrasted players, such as Eriksen, Pogba or Milinkovic-Savic.
A situation that Cristiano Ronaldo tries to take advantage of to convince Palacios that he recalls in Juventus of Turin, that will let out Sami Khedira and very possibly Emre Can, if a good offer comes, which would leave room for one of the great talents of the South American soccer.
Seeing how well the experiment went with Bentancur, the 'bianconero' leaders are willing to repeat the formula with the midfielder of River , for which they put 22 kilos on the table, two more than Real, and offer more leadership.
Now the ball is on the roof of Palacios, who is also studying a proposal from Inter Milan.

Leo Messi goes for the Champions League. The Argentine was the great protagonist, with permission from David De Gea, of the meeting, which did not have much history. The Barça, four years later, returns to stand in the semifinals.
The Argentine appeared in the 16th minute to put the tie back on trackIn the 20th, the culé captain, with the inestimable collaboration of the Spanish goalkeeper Manchester United, put the second with which he came to restAlready in the second half, with everything resolved, Coutinho scored a goal of beautiful invoice to restore morale and send a hint to his critics with the celebration.
The '10' broke the gaffe that accompanied the azulgrana box and hit the table. He wants the Champions League and goes with everything. He has already understood that, if he wants to win the Golden Ball, it is a condition 'sine qua non' to raise the Orejona.
Leo is obsessed with regaining his throne and unseating Cristiano Ronaldo as the player with more gold balls in history, in addition to match in European Cups, with five.
In the long term, Messi also dreams of repeating the feat of CR7 at Real Madrid, as impossible as it seems: to be the kings of the World for three consecutive times. The leagues do not matter, if not the maximum continental competition. 
In Turin, Juventus de Ronaldo suffered against Ajax an unexpected defeat. The costumes of Barca did not lose any detail of what was happening in the Allianz Arena and saw how one of the favorites to win the championship was eliminated by the great revelation of the season.
Messi's message to Cristiano could not be more direct. He wants the Champions League and expects a rival in the final. Although yes, he has no doubts. If the 'Vecchia Signora' had arrived, the result would have been humiliating. Leo did not see Juve as the great candidate and believes that Barça would have passed the roller in the final. 
Liverpool waits in the semifinals already.


Florentino Pérez wanted it and now they remember him.
The Real Madrid lives the reconstruction with a view to the next year with some places granted and others that wait for a new occupant.
Hazard will take the left wing, Benzema stands as owner in the center and Zidane asks Mane to replace Gareth Bale on the right flank if Mbappé cannot reach it. The problem?
The PSG does not negotiate for its star and Liverpool will dissipate the sale of its end, Mané, to 180 million, a figure that Florentino Pérez refuses to cover.
And, meanwhile, an old name appears.
Florentino Pérez negotiated with Paulo Dybala a couple of summers ago and the Argentine's surroundings remind him that he would fit in the vacancy, that he is willing to trade Cristiano Ronaldo for Zidane and that, besides, his price is a bargain compared to the rest.
The 'Juve' would not ask for more than 80 million for a Dybala in free fall since the arrival of CR7 and that has ceased to be untouchable and the great star in Turin.
A Pérez, who does not dislike the operation, they 'put' the boy's desire to play in the Real after Messi closed the doors of Barca when Neymar left. 
Dybala was the chosen one of the club to replace 'Ney', but Leo denied the operation adducing incompatibility. Something that Dybala neither forgives nor forgives.


Cristiano Ronaldo continues to give names. The Luso wants a winning project at the Juventus of Turin, surrounded by stars. The ones you have, that stay, and the ones that are missing, that arrive this summer.
In this sense, there are already up to three players on the table. The first is Ivan Rakitic, crack of Barca, which will hear offers. Although Valverde considers him untouchable, the signing of Frenkie de Jong, the emergence of Arthur and the age of Croatian, 30 years, invites to study options.
The 'Vecchia Signora' is very interested in getting the '4' culé, which could fill the gap left by Blaise Matuidi, with offers from China. CR7 has approved the arrival of the ex of Sevilla, which he sees as an ideal complement for Miralem Pjanic in the midfield.
Two other stars are Raphaël Varane and Marcelo, whom he knows perfectly well during his stay at Real Madrid. The departure of both of the Santiago Bernabéu is no chimera and Florentino Pérez will negotiate with them.
Zinedine Zidane wanted to retain both, but, after seeing the terrible level in which they are, has given way to allow their goodbye. Yes, as long as you receive a millionaire.
 
The agreement between Marcelo and Juve has been closed for months. 40 million more variables are the 'bianconera' offerVery tempting, considering the age of the Brazilian and his bad time.
But Ronaldo wants to reconnect with the one who is his best friend in the world of football and who is convinced that he will recover his best version. He is your best partner both on and off the turf and knows him better than anyone else. He has no doubt that it will be a 'top' signing.
Varane, on the other hand, wants to leave Chamartín, where he has been in seven seasons in which he has won absolutely everything. He needs, at almost 26 years of age, new challenges and a new environment.
The Frenchman has also lowered his benefits, but he will ask for almost 100 kilos. A madness that from Turin they hope to reduce, until, at least, the 60.
Massimiliano Allegri is in love with the Gaul and has given the OK. Cristiano knows that Juventus need to rejuvenate the defense since the backbone, Chiellini, Bonucci, and Barzagli, is in their thirties and they have a few years left.
The Italians come with everything.

The Argentine did not expect it.

The Barcelona has been strengthened to improve their midfield, or at least to prepare for the possible departure of some of the elements of the eleventh gala. For several seasons the potential departure of the Croatian Ivan Rakitić has been loudly heard, as he feels that other clubs are willing to value their talent in a better way than the Blaugrana institution.

At the end of each market of recent seasons, the football player culé has missed the offers that position him in other teams by rooting the club, apart from the welfare of his family who lives in the city, for all this, he stayed within the club.

This year Rakitić is again in the eye of the hurricane because he sees how the club is including many players who work in his position, and even with salaries that are similar to his when he has earned it with a great career and many titles to his credit. Despite all these ingredients, the footballer does not seem to be unhappy, as he enjoys the experience to the fullest.

The decision to change course will be on the part of the Catalan leadership because it knows that they consider it a transferable piece. The Croatian would have asked to go to Juventus if they are going to sell it, and although it would come out of what is currently the best team in the world, he wants to stay in a competitive box with real aspirations to win the Champions League , and with Cristiano Ronaldo considers that he can have many options to achieve it.

La Vecchia Signora with Ronaldo seeks to bring together all those players who have had successful cycles in large teams, with which the Portuguese have shared, to put together a project with the certainty of success in the shortest possible time.

Will Ronaldo and Rakitić come together to take the Champions from Messi in the future?



Moise Kean has become one of the fashionable men in European football. The 19-year-old Italian striker is beginning to take center stage after his brutal debut in Italian Calcio where he has scored 4 goals in his first 6 appearances. Some numbers are worthy of a world star and that is also endorsed by a more than solid game.
The young striker has already awakened the alerts of the great teams of European football and Real Madrid has been no less. Himself  Zinedine Zidane would put his name on the table in their search for a striker to mark goals this year have lacked the Madridista set in all competitions in which he has participated. 
Kean has until now been the protege of  Cristiano Ronaldo, who faced off with his teammates after the racist criticisms that Leonardo Bonucci and his own coach  Massimiliano Allegri gave him last week.
Cristiano defended him tooth and nail and Kean feels very grateful to the Portuguese crack, however, he would have asked for a way out of the club after seeing that racism is standing up in several of his colleagues, something that the young man did not expect Forward.
Real Madrid will prepare an offer so that Kean can leave an Italy that has shown many racist episodes in recent years and hopes that in Spain they can treat him better, although the background with cases like  Samuel Eto'o's is not very encouraging.
Just in case, Florentino Pérez will make a very good offer, over 50 million euros, so that Kean does not have to think too much.
Zidane likes it and that is a guarantee of success for the Italian goalscorer.


Real Madrid achieved the seemingly unachievable last season when they crushed Liverpool to win their third Champions League in a row.
Bayern Munich was the last team to achieve that feat in Europe’s premier club competition way back between 1973-1976.
The last team just to win back-to-back titles was Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest in the same decade.
However, Europe had never seen a team quite as terrifying as Zidane’s Real.
Impervious at the back thanks to Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane; creative in midfield with the likes of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric pulling the strings; all spearheaded by the top goalscorer in Champions League history - Cristiano Ronaldo.
The serial success ultimately proved too much for Zidane and Ronaldo though, with both heading out of the Bernabeu exit in the summer of 2018.
And while Zidane has been pulled back since, Ronaldo has been setting the Serie A alight with Juventus.

In light of Zidane’s return to the Spanish capital, French broadcaster RMC Sport 1have released a documentary about him.

And reflecting on his time under the Frenchman, Ronaldo has revealed how the “intelligent” Zidane managed to keep such a talented squad happy and motivated.
“I think Zidane knows how to handle the team in an intelligent way,” he said.
“It's not an easy situation because all the players like to play a lot, but he knows how to work intelligently and he manages to involve all the team.”
Real’s long-term captain Ramos was also full of praise for his manager, insisting there is a correlation between his fine talent on the pitch and in the dugout.

“Zidane's career speaks for itself, both what he did as a player and what he does as a coach,” Ramos said.
“He found a way to transfer the talent he had as a player to his new role and manage a dressing room.
“He does a fantastic and unique job, and the results are not a coincidence.”


The Real Madrid that left Zidane to his exit does not look like the one that is finding in his return, and already with more training to the front of the equipment, it begins to denote which are the soccer players who will not serve him for the new project that is assembling next to Florentino Pérez.


In the remainder of the season, the French strategist wants to finish as well as possible, so that the mood of the team is not lost completely, therefore, is betting players of his confidence, which knows the performance they can get to offer.

Although the arrival of Zizou has been successful, to obtain victories at a time when the team has no aspirations to any title, the technician has shown a low state of the form in certain elements, which has included in the list of transferable

Zidane needs a striker who plays the role of Ronaldo, who is no longer there and replaces the lack of efficiency of Benzema, who is not a killer, but a footballer who plays his teammates. The option of 9 in the template to fulfill this function was Mariano, but it has not shown the level that was expected.

On the other hand, Bale has not been able to be the benchmark that was needed at a time when he was the one to take the lead, being again in debt to the leadership that is betting on an explosion that looks unlikely at this stage of his career.

Finally, Isco Alarcón has had this course more conflicts than football within the team, which is why, faced with the possible arrival of Hazard in summer, he would be the one chosen to leave the boat.

In short, the discards of Zidane for the following season would be: MarianoBale, and Isco, and from a nearby site, Ceballos could accompany them.


Cristiano Ronaldo ignited the alarms in the qualifying match of the European Championship that his team, Portugal, drew against the Serbia of Luka Jovic, Dusan Tadic, Kolarov, and company.
It was the minute 28 when the Juventus star of Turin had to be replaced by Pizzi, suffering from an injury. At that time, the Italian fans began to tremble.
Many already feared the worst: that Cristiano could not play the quarterfinal match of the Champions League in which they are measured at Ajax, the executioner of his former team, Real Madrid.
On April 10, the 'jacked' and the 'bianconeros' meet at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, in a duel in which the Turinese start as clear favoritesBut, with the possible absence of the Portuguese language, things changed and became very similar.
It should be remembered that Ajax was already capable, in addition to humiliating Madrid on their own ground, to face the almighty Bayern Munich in the group stage. It is not an easy rival and the role of the victim comes to him like a glove.
But CR7 calmed everyone with a clear and direct message that has reached the Barca de Messi. ''I am not worried. I know my body. I know I'll be fine in two weeks, "said the Bicho. 
Therefore, there is nothing to worry about. It will be on top for the next round, unfortunately for the rivals.
Cristiano and Messi meet for the final.
