Real Madrid will face against Eibar their seventh match in the regular season in the Santiago Bernabéu (Sunday 16:15). Zidane received very bad news from the doctors. One of his key players will be injured one month approximately, Luka Modric.

Luka Modric will be out of the fields the next three or four weeks because he has an injury in his left knee. In the best moment of the Croatian midfielder, an injury forces him to stop a period of one month. Luka Modric is one of the most important players in all the squad. The Croatian midfielder is the “lighthouse” of Real Madrid. Without him Real Madrid can suffer a bit more because he is an example of how you must play in the midfield.

After confirmed the injury, Modric will fall from the list of his national team for the two matches of qualifying for the World Cup of Russia. Croatia will play against the sixth and ninth of October against Kosovo and Finland after the draw they had in the first match against Turkey.

If Modric is a very important player for Zidane imagine for his national team. Real Madrid coach is the first one that take care of the Croatian midfielder and he already rotated in the first games of the regular season. In the match against Dortmund, Modric played the entire game and in this match he started suffered pains on his left knee.

With the injury of Modric, Zinedine Zidane must think in which players he has to believe. As the French manager said in the press conference Isco will play against Eibar despite he is not having too much minutes. With the injuries of Casemiro and Modric in the midfield, now is a great opportunity for players like Kovacic, Isco and James to shine and try to convince Zidane that they can have more minutes in the future.

After three straight draws, Real Madrid need to bounce back in La Liga and Eibar is the perfect rival for this situation. The Basque team has never scored a goal against Real Madrid and never get a point with Los Blancos. Will Eibar suffer the rage after three consecutive draws?

Real Madrid vs Eibar preview

Real Madrid got a draw in the last game in the Champions League at Dortmund but the team came back pissed off, as Zidane said, but happy with the performance. Los Blancos played a much better game in Germany and they got the chance of winning, but Andre Schurrle scored at the end of the game. Again, Real Madrid lost two points in the last minutes of the game, as it happened with Las Palmas.

Los Blancos need to bounce back against Eibar and win the game to stay top of the table. Zidane cannot count with Casemiro and Marcelo, both still injured. Kroos and Morata came back from Germany with some problems but both should be able to start the game. Keylor Navas played in the starting eleven for the first time of the season in Germany and should stay as the goalkeeper.

On the other side, Eibar have started pretty well the season. The Basque team beat Real Sociedad on Saturday in the derby and they are currently eighth in the table, with 10 points. Some former Real Madrid players like Pedro León and Adrián González will play again at Santiago Bernabéu.

Real Madrid vs Eibar Prediction

Real Madrid have not lost any game during the season so far but have failed to win the last three games. In all of them, the rival was dresssed with a yellow t-shirt. This won’t happen against Eibar, who can pay all Real Madrid insatisfaction, as Danilo said recently.

Los Blancos were performing a perfect season until 10 days ago, when Villarreal drew at Santiago Bernabéu. It was their last home game. Real Madrid are conceding too many goals recently, five in the last three games.

Despite all these problems, Eibar could be a good rival for Los Blancos. Last year, Real Madrid thrashed 4-0 at Santiago Bernabéu with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring one goal. The previous year, Los Blancos also secured an easy victory 3-0 over Eibar. Los Blancos have never conceded a goal against Eibar.

However the Basque team is doing a great this season, especially at home. Away from Ipurúa, Eibar have only won one game, against bottom of the table Granada, and they have lost against Deportivo and Málaga, another two rivals to avoid the relegation zone.

Real Madrid had focused in the young star of Celtic of Glasgow, Moussa Dembélé. As usual, Los Blancos are interested in the players that are doing a good job with their teams and Moussa Dembélé is shining on the beginning of this season.

The French striker of 20 years old is playing very good in his season. He went free to the Scottish team after being three years in England playing for Fulham. In his experience in the Championship, Demebélé didn’t played too much but in his last year in Fulham, he was protagonist playing 43 games in the regular season and scoring 15 goals.

With these statistics, Celtic focused on him and they decided he must had an opportunity in a classic and huge team as is Celtic. Celtic of Glasgow is the best team of Scotland and they usually play the major European competition, the Champions League. Celtic of Glasgow can realize a good operation if the Moussa Dembélé keeps in this level. The Scottish team can sell him by an amount of €20M or more, if he continues shining as well as now.

In his short experience in Scotland, Demebélé has scored 5 goals in his first six matches in the regular season. We have to highlight the great performance the French player made against Glasgow Ranger. He scored a hat-trick in a game that finished 5-1. Is not the only good match Dembélé has done until now. Last match of Celtic in Champions League they played against a very powerful Manchester City. The game finished 3-3 and Moussa Demebélé scored two goals to the team of Guardiola.

Real Madrid is not the only team that is interested in Moussa Dembélé. According to The Sun, Arsenal and Bayern the Munich are also interested in the French player because of the 8 goals he scored in 12 games during this year.

Real Madrid will play on Sunday against Eibar in the Santiago Bernabéu. After the match of La Liga, the regular seasons will stop because it´s the moment for the national teams. Many players of our squad are in the list of Julen Lopetegui to play two official games against Italy and Albania.

The two games of the national teams are for the qualifying to the World Cup that will be in Russia 2018. Six players of Real Madrid will play in the national team of Spain. Sergio Ramos, Carvajal, Lucas Vázquez, Morata, Isco and Nacho are the players of Real Madrid that will face Albania and Italy.

Ramos is the captain of the national team and key player for the coach. The Spaniard defender will play his 138 game with his national team. Carvajal will fight for the right back position with Sergi Roberto. Our right back couldn’t play the last Euro Cup on France because he had an injury. Nacho is also in the list because he can play in many positions of the deffense, his versatility helps a lot because the managers need these type of players in their squads.

Despite Isco is not having too many minutes in Real Madrid this season, the Basque manager believes in him and he included him in the list for the two games. Morata will be the striker with Diego Costa. Lopetegui must choose between the player of Real Madrid or the stroker form Chelsea.

In the national team under 21 there’s also many players form Real Madrid. Albert Celades made a list with Asensio, Jesus Vallejo, Marcos Llorente and Borja Mayoral. Asensio will be one of the key players for Celades. Marcos Llorente is playing very good in Alavés and it will be the first time that the youngster of Real Madrid will play with the national team.

Real Madrid will play the next 18th of November their third match in the Champions League against KP Legia Warsaw in Santiago Bernabéu. Los Blancos will try to win after the draw in the second game against Borussia Dortmund in the Signal Iduna Park. It´s the easiest match Los Blancos will play in the group stage because they will play at home and against the weakest team of the group.

After that game, Los Blancos have to visit Warsaw and the match will be played behind closed doors. UEFA have considered that this match, the fourth day of the group stage on November 2, will be played without supporters, although the decision can be appealed by the Polish club.

UEFA have sanction Legia Warsaw because in the first match of the group stage against Borussia Dortmund the Polish supporters didn’t have a good behaviour inside the stadium. The organization said that there was launching of flares and objecst inside the stadium, racist behaviours, very poor organization and file blocking stairs.

KP Legia Warsaw didn’t win any of their games in the Champions League. They lost 0-6 against Borussia Dortmund in the match they were sanctioned. The second game against Sporting Lisbon they also lost 2-0. If they want to have any chance to qualify for the next round or for reaching the third position, that qualifies for the European League, they must start winning games.

With this sanction, KP Legia Warsaw are the most affected because now they must face Real Madrid in an empty stadium. This situation is quite strange for the players that play at home because they don´t hear any noise of the supporters. These behaviors are punished always in the Champions League because is the competition that more supporters watch in the TV and they want to prohibit it at all costs.

After the three consecutive draws against Villarreal, Las Palmas and Borussia Dortmund now it´s the moment to think what is happening in Real Madrid. Los Blancos started very good equalizing the record that Guardiola had with 16 wins in a row in La Liga but now it looks the streak has stopped.

The major problem that Zinedine Zidane has is the injury of his midfielder Casemiro. Los Blancos have not won since the injury of Casemiro against Espanyol. Zinedine Zidane is trying to find a solution to this problem but he still didn´t find it. The French manager has tested different players in the position Casemiro usually plays, but anybody is giving the balance he gives. Kroos is a player that likes to incorporate to the attack and he doesn´t feel very confortable in that position. The best years of the German was playing betweeen the stopper and the forwards. Zinedine Zidane also tried to replace Casemiro with Kovacic, but the Croatian midfielder is a player that likes to move around all the pitch, and in that position you don´t have the freedom of movements.

As we published a few weeks ago, the Brazilian midfielder is a very important player in the squad because he is the only stopper Real Madrid have. It´s really strange that Real Madrid didn´t sign any player of Casemiro’s characteristics. Ancelotti had the same players Zinedine Zidane has now. The Italian manager tried 2 years ago on a match against Juventus with Sergio Ramos but the results were not very positive.

Since Xabi Alonso left Madrid to sign with Bayern, Los Blancos didn´t sign a player that gives the balance to the team. Rafa Benitez decided that he needed a player of that characteristics and he decided that Casemiro should be part of the first squad, after the loan in Porto.

The Italian newspaper Tuttosport has published the 40 players nominated to win the Golden Boy, considered like the Ballon D’Or under 21. Among the players we can see one Real Madrid footballer: Marco Asensio.

The amazing last season Marco Asensio did with Espanyol and the superb start of the current season made the newspaper to nominate the Real Madrid player. Asensio finally stayed in Los Blancos squad after a great pre-season tour around the United States.

Zidane trusted him at the beginning of the season, and Asensio scored a very important goal in the European Supercup and in the first game of la Liga against Real Sociedad. However, the player is losing his place in the pitch and, for instance, he wasn’t even on the bench in the clash against Borussia Dortmund in Champions League. In the last game in La Liga, Asensio scored the opening goal at Las Palmas.

This good start in La Liga and Real Madrid called the attention of Julen Lopetegui, the new Spanish coach and Marco Asensio made his debut with the national team. It’s been a really special year so far for Asensio and could be even better if he is able to win the award.

The Golden Boy is a really prestigious award. You only need to have a look at the winner list to realize the importance of the trophy. Players like Wayne Rooney (2004), Leo Messi (2005), Agüero (2007), Balotelli (2010), Gotze (2011), Isco (2012), Pogba (2013) or Sterling (2014) won the trophy. Manchester United player Anthony Martial was the last winner.

There are three other players of La Liga nominated to the trophy: Lucas Hernández (Atlético de Madrid); Carlos Fernández (Sevilla) and Tony Sanabria (Betis). The most famous players in the list are Kinglsey Coman (Bayern Munich), Ousmane Démbélé (Borussia Dortmund), Delle Ali (Tottenham), Iheanacho (Man. City), Marcus Rashford (Man. United) or Gianluigi Donnarumma (Milan).

Mesut Özil five years deal with Arsenal ends in 2018 and the gunners are trying already to renew the contract. However, the negotiations are still far from being close to an agreement because the German player is still dreaming with playing again at Real Madrid.

According to the German newspaper Sport Bild, both parties are already talking about an extension of the contract but there are many issues until they could reach an agreement. Besides, as we previously informed, Mesut Özil would like to play again for Real Madrid and fight for winning big titles like the Champions League.

However, there are also other issues. For example, Özil wants more money. He’s currently earning 160.000€ per week, around €8.3M per year but he pretends to earn up to 230.000€ per week or almost €12M per year. Arsenal salary limit is 200.000€. It will be a big raise for the German playmaker.

The second issue is much easier. Özil would like to have the number 10 t-shirt, property of Wilshere until now. The English midfielder is now gone and he’s playing for Bournemouth, so Özil can get his number 10.

And the third issue, according to the German press, as it’s published in As, is Real Madrid. Los Blancos can get a ban from FIFA, so they might not be able to sign any player in the next two transfer windows. Even if Los Blancos can sign a player, Özil is not necessary right now in a squad full of playmakers. However, the German player still wants to wait for Real Madrid and see if there is any option of returning to Madrid.

Taking in consideration that Cristiano Ronaldo played both for Manchester United and Real Madrid, it’s normal that the two giants look to Portugal to find new young players and stars. This time they’ve put the eye in the same player. His name is Gelson Martins and he was the best Sporting Lisbon footballer when the Portuguese side played at Bernabéu.

According to the Portuguese newspaper Récord, Real Madrid and Manchester United are already fighting for Gelson Martins and both clubs would like to sign the winger as soon as possible. Sporting Lisbon are very happy with this bid because the footballer’s price would raise a lot.

The young winger has a price of €60M, quite high for a player who is only 21 years old. Gelson Martins has played six games this season in Primeira Liga, scoring two goals. This is only his second season in a top-flight club because he was playing for the youngster teams in Sporting Lisbon. Real Madrid already spotted this talent when he hasn’t played in the first division, but Sporting refused then to negotiate for him.

Gelson Martins has signed a contract with Sporting Lisbon until 2021, so he is linked to the Portuguese side this season and four more. If he signs another extension of his contract, the €60M clause could raise up to €80M. Sporting want to make a big business from him, as they did with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Only a few months later, Sporting Lisbon travelled to Madrid in the first game of the group stage in the Champions League. Gelson Martins surprised everybody and he was the best player in the pitch. Marcelo couldn’t stop him and the winger created a lot of problems. Real Madrid have not forgotten him and will try to sign him, if FIFA ban and Manchester United allow them to do it.
