Gareth Bale is been one of the key players in Real Madrid season, especially in the last games when Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema were ruled out due to an injury. The Welsh man has the experience of scoring a decisive goal in a Champions League final and he wants to repeat the success.

However, the winger thinks this time there is a big difference if we compare it with Lisbon: “It will be a very different game, but we have more experience and can hopefully get the same result”, he says

Bale only thinks in winning the final, otherwise the season will be very disappointed: “Reaching a final is fine, but to lose a final is as big as being the ultimate failure,” he told the press.

The former Tottenham Hotspur player has good memories of San Siro, where he scored a hat trick against Inter Milan back in 2010. Real Madrid haven’t won yet in this stadium but this is not a problem for Bale: “I don’t know the history of Real but it’s not very important at this stage, what will happen will happen”., he finished.

Raphael Varane has been very unlucky in this season. He’s been having a lot of physical problems but the worst came at the very last minute. He will miss the Champions League final and the Euro 2016.

This week we knew that the French defender will miss the final due to a thigh injury so Pepe and Sergio Ramos will be for sure the full back couple.

The things got even worse for Raphael Varane because Didier Deschamps, the French national team coach, has ruled out the Real Madrid player for the squad of the Euro 2016. The Sevilla player Adil Rami will replace him.

This is a major blow for Raphael Varane, whose season has been a bit disappointing. He has suffered several injuries, he has stayed on the bench in several key games and finally he will miss the most important part of the season.

Varane has a tough situation at Real Madrid. He’s been always told that he will be a key player at the squad and that he has to be patient. However, Pepe and Ramos have shown they are a perfect couple for the defence and Varane has to wait to take his chances.

Now he’s injured so he’ll miss the Champions League final. It’s time for him to think in the future because there are a lot of clubs showing interest for the French defender.

One of them is Manchester United. According to Il Corriere dello Sport, the Red Devils have offered 38M€ bid for the defender but Real Madrid rejected the offer.

The club still thinks that Varane will be a top player in one or two years so they want him to stay at Bernabéu. It will be Varane who has the last call in his future but everybody at Madrid expects him to stay.

Isco

Isco is one of the Real Madrid top players that could end out of the club after the summer. The Malaga born player hasn’t played a lot of minutes this season and, since Zidane’s arrival, his role is getting even more testimonial.

Isco has still to play the final of the Champions League with Real Madrid and he’s in the Spanish squad for the Euro 2016 so his season could end very well. However, he wants to have a key role in the team and this hasn’t happened this year.

For this reason he could hear some offers. According to fichajes.net, the clubs that have put more interest on Isco are Arsenal, Juventus and Bayern Múnich.

Arsène Wenger is always keen to sign playmakers and Isco could be the perfect couple for Mesut Özil. On other side, Juventus want to fight again for the Champions League title and Isco would raise the squad level. A midfield with Pogba, Marchisio and Isco could win any title.

With Mario Gotze expected to leave Bayern Munich, Isco could be his perfect replacement. Besides, Ancelotti knows him very well and always had confidence in the Spanish midfielder

Alvaro Morata

Álvaro Morata’s value raises and raises every minute. The Spaniard is taking his chances and winning title for his current club, Juventus. Last Saturday he helped his team to win the Coppa Italia with a crucial goal in the extra time. Juventus beat Milan at the Olímpico Stadium and the Spanish forward was the man of the match.

Now Morata has to focus on the Spanish national team as he was selected by Del Bosque to be in the Spanish squad for the Euro 2016. Another test for the striker to show the world the top class player he is.

Although he is playing for Juventus, Real Madrid can buy the player for only 30M€, just 10 M more that what Juventus paid two years ago. In all this time, Morata won two ‘Scudetti’, two Coppe Italia and played a Champions League final with Juventus. Today his agent has passed by the offices at Bernabéu to talk about his future.

For all these reason, Real Madrid is expected to buy this summer Morata. What it’s still to be decided is if he will have a place in Zidane’s squad for next year or he will be sold to a Premier League club. Real Madrid would like to get around 50M€ for the Spanish forward.

According to Marca, Real Madrid wing Lucas Vázquez has won Zidane’s trustness. The French man wants to keep Lucas beside him and the canterano player already knows he will stay next season in the first team.

Quietly, Lucas has earned the respect of everybody. Now is essential for the team, more than Isco or James, whose season have disappointed a lot of people. In fact, Lucas has played more than any of them with Zidane as Real coach.

A lot of clubs have asked for Lucas because of his excellent performance, but they have always answered “no”. According to Spanish newspaper Marca, in January Sevilla asked for a loan and Liverpool is also interested.

Benítez trusted him like Zizou does now. With the current Newcastle coach Lucas played 15 games, 5 in the starting line-up, spread over 675 minutes. With Zizou, 17 games, 8 in the starting line-up, spread over 932 minutes.

His decisive goals (4) and decisive assists (10) have made national team coach Del Bosque to call him for the Euro 2016. It’s the provisional list yet, but it’s already a recognition of his good season.

“He deserves a project, start a season with him as the coach”. According to Marca, this phrase is the most heared around important Real executives last weeks.

Zidane arrived to Real as an emergency solution and initially there were some hesitation but now everybody praises him. Everyone agrees that Zidane must continue as Real coach next season even if he loses the Champions final against Atlético de Madrid on the 28th May.

In January, this squad was suffering a crisis. Now, four months later, they will play the Champions final and they also fought until the last game against Barcelona in La Liga.

Real president, Florentino Pérez, and the rest of the board now believe they have the right man for the job. No doubts like two years ago with Ancelotti. If Sergio Ramos hadn’t scored in Lisbon that goal, the Italian coach would have been sacked in that moment.

Pérez has always believed in Zidane. His arrival to the first team was not expected to happen this soon but Zizou has delivered and proved that Pérez had reasons to believe in him.

Furthermore, Zidane is already thinking about next season team and in the last weeks he’s been informed about any offers or movement related to the first team. He has Perez’s trust, something really important for him.
