New ridicule of Real Madrid this season, something that is no longer new. They are already countless. Zinedine Zidane is not a magician and, although he has returned the illusion, he cannot perform miracles.
The team is full of 'bad apples' and the only solution is cleaning in the locker room. And thoroughly. That nobody is safe. Against Valencia, three players joined the French coach's blacklist.
 
And that the white team came with morals through the roof. 'Zizou' had returned faith and luck accompanied. But the club 'the' soon took to return the Real to the harsh reality. Guedes ahead of his team in the 35th minute and Garay sentenced in the final stages. Benzema, in the aggregate, scored the goal of honor.
The first to join the list is Casemiro. Each match for the Brazilian is a test of fire and, in Mestalla, burned. Marcos Llorente has eaten his toast and both Florentino Pérez and Zidane are willing to transfer him. Much of the blame for the second goal has him.
 
'Case' is out of shape and far from his best version. They have put the starting price, 60 million euros, and, if an interesting offer comes, it will come out. For now, PSG and Manchester United have already knocked on his door.
The other is Isco Alarcón. 'Zizou' has made it clear. In important matches and at a certain level, he does not trust Málaga, whom he has placed as a starter in two consecutive matches for a simple reason: to revalue.
Florentino has given the order to put on the lawn to '22' to recover, even apart, his cache. The offers did not exceed 60 million and they hope to raise 80.
But for important matches, his place is the bench. It will only play junk matches. The one that did start, but went unnoticed, is Marco Asensio.
The Balearic is another who has lost a lot of credit. Zinedine and Pérez still consider him recoverable and a very profitable player. However, few expect the ex of Mallorca to be, in the future, Golden Ball. 
His progression has stagnated and a lot. They continue to count on him, although he is no longer untouchable. If an offer of madness arrives, like last year, when they came to offer 150 million euros for it, it will be studied very carefully.
And more, if they finish arriving Hazard, Mbappé, Neymar, Joao Félix and company.


Lionel Messi picked up a knock on his right thigh during Barcelona’s 2-2 draw with Valencia on Saturday evening.
In the 70th minute, Antonio Lato’s knee collided with the Argentine star and he let the field for treatment.
Messi did return to the field of play but was far from his best with sprinting, appearing to trouble him.
Valverde now faces a tough decision with semi-final clash with Real Madrid fast approaching on Wednesday.
And the Spaniard has revealed he is yet to decide on whether Messi will be involved.
"Between tomorrow and the day afterwards we'll need to see exactly how he is and what he has," Valverde said.
"I don't exactly what it is.
"It could be a small discomfort.

"We'll wait to see what the doctors say, then evaluate things based on that.
"I imagine that he can't be too bad, but I'm not able to reveal anything."
Messi scored twice at the Nou Camp to salvage Barca a point against Valencia that leaves them six points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid at the top of the table.

On facing the European champions, Valverde said: “It will be a great game for both the teams and the fans.
“It will be a fascinating tie and it will be interesting to see who makes it through to the final.
“They were going through a poor run of form in the league but they have turned it around and we know that it will be a tough match.”
