Ever wondered why Real Madrid release their Starting XI earlier than any team in the world?
This started in 2021.
Journalists had moles in the teamโs dressing room and revealed line ups beifre crucial matches. It caused a lot of anger within the clubโs hierarchy.
It was discovered that Miguel Angel Diaz, a journalist for radio station Cadena COPE, was regularly publishing Ancelottiโs starting XI before Real Madrid wanted them to be made public.
During his time as coach, Jose Mourinho started a mission to find the mole in the dressing room. His investigation ended with the Portuguese coach naming Iker Casillas as the player supplying lineups to the media, which the keeper denied.
So when Ancelotti replaced Zidane in 2021/22, he decided to take it in their stride to wrong-foot the press. For the first Madrid derby that season, Real published their line-up around two hours before kick-off. And it subsequently became tradition that has now stuck with the club.
Now, by announcing their lineup first, Real use it as an opportunity to attract traffic to their social media pages and the Real Madrid TV, which also announces the lineups before it goes on social media.
They are all devastating, dead-of-the-night-cold finishers, but Harry Kaneโs abilities outside the box trumps the rest.
1. Harry Kane
2. Robert Lewandowski
3. Luis Suarez
4. Karim Benzema

How in Godโs earth did Unai Simon win Goalkeeper of the Year ahead of David Raya?
Last season, Raya wasnโt just a shot stopper, he made plays, won points for Arsenal and saved points for them as they marched to the EPL title and UCL final.
UNAI SIMON IS THE 2026 MENโS GOALKEEPER OF THE YEAR! The 2026 World Cup winner ๐งค๐

Victor Osimhen told yโall that nobody will teach him how to score goals.
This is the biggest game in Turkish football and heโs eating it up.
Where are all the Galatasaray fans who said he was being rude? Jokes on you.

Nice form. I prefer that plate firmly on your chest, it puts pressure on the abdominal tissue that youโre targeting. The hand raises have swing momentum help which increases your pace, the target will be evenly distributed to your shoulders, back and abs.
Put the plate on your chest, cross your arms on it to hold firm and try to do the inclined sit up. Come back and tell me what you feel and if itโs different or not.
Itโs absolutely crazy how I am missing all these games.
โSo close but so far awayโ

This was the update I was giving you guys.
The news President of the Nigerian Basketball Federation.
Written.
And stamped, today.
Just before this first goal, I was talking about how Desire Doue is one of footballโs most underrated players. His decision making is so elite, he gets to play regularly for a star-studded PSG and France.
Yet, he isnโt talked about as much. And boy bursted out from nowhere.
Blessing Okpe reminds me of prime Rashidat Ajibade.
Menacing runs. Quick feet. Aesthetic dribbles. Relentless energy.
Clout and lies.
Chidera Ejuke wasnโt picked from โtrialsโ to sign for Sevilla.
Last time Ejuke went on trial was with Liverpool, around 2015-16.
Meanwhile, you for reject the 7m first, all these na capping and an over estimated sense of importance/entitlement.
