Some newspapers as Marca reports an attack to a Real Madrid supporters club in Irak. At least 16 people were killed but gunmen who opened fire randomly.

In the attack, other 16 people were injured so it’s feared that the number of casualties could rise. The gunmen entered in a room full of Real Madrid suporters and opened fire.

The shocking news were received by the club just hours before they started the trip to La Coruña, where they’ll face Deportivo in the last game of the season in La Liga.

Los Blancos could win La Liga title if they beat Deportivo away and Barcelona cannot win at Granada.

Zinedine Zidane is optimistic about this team’s odds to win La Liga. Real Madrid have won 11 games in a row and they’re just one point behind Barcelona. If the Blaugranas lose or draw at Granada and Real Madrid beat Deportivo, Los Blancos will be the La Liga champions.

However, Zidane is not concerned about what could happen at Los Carmenes: “We are going to give our best performance and try to win the game, we can’t control matters elsewhere”.

He doesn’t want to speak about the Champions League final because “the most important game of our lives is Saturday’s, we have to win to get all three points”, he said in the press conference.

Although Real Madrid is not the favourite to hold the title, the squad still think they could win: “We believe that the league title is still possible, we have won 11 matches in a row, we are one point behind Barcelona”.

Joan Gaspart is a controversial person and he’s not really fond of Real Madrid. The former Barcelona president has spoken about his impressions for the last La Liga game on Saturday after his experience in the board.

Gaspart was vice-president of Barcelona when the Blaugranas won two leagues in Tenerife in the very last game. He denies giving money to Tenerife for beating Real Madrid. “Whoever says that is a liar, an evil mind. Barcelona only invited Tenerife to the Joan Gamper Trophy. We didn’t pay one euro”.

He’s very angry about the “campaign” launched by Madrid press and the possibility of giving money to Granada in order to beat Barcelona in the last game.

“Real Madrid only harm football. If I were a Granada player, I’d be offended because they’re saying that I’m for sale. I believe in football and honesty”.

According to Marca, Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez, is going to meet with Real captains -Sergio Ramos, Marcelo and Pepe- to convey a message of support before the game against Deportivo this Saturday.

Florentino knows in what moment of season they are. Few months ago, the team was an absolute chaos. The relationship between Benítez and the players was bad and no one had hope in this team.

But now everything is different. Los Blancos might won’t win any title. But maybe they can win two big titles: Champions League and Liga. They are going to play this Saturday the last La Liga’s game and Florentino appreciate their effort in these last months.

That’s why Florentino wants to convey a message of support to the captains, so they can convey the president’s message to the rest of the players. In the same line, when the team lost 2-0 against Wolfsburg, Florentino went down to the dressing room without any row and said “we can turnaround this”.

Furthermore, they are going to talk also about bonus if Los Blancos definitely win some title. According to Marca, they started to talk about it a little since the victory against Barcelona, but now it’s the moment to make things clear.

Raúl González Blanco, one of the Real Madrid legend, spoke as La Liga’s ambassador at a Soccerex event in Mexico about the Champions League final which Real Madrid is going to play against Atlético de Madrid on the 28th of May.

“It’s going to be a Spanish football big party. We hope a big game. I wish I watched Real winning but Atlético is in a great moment and they defeated two big rivals”.

Raúl played as Real striker for 14 years, won countless titles and is considered one of the big club symbols. So maybe people think that those words have nothing new.

But a lot of Real fans got surprised few weeks ago when Raúl was asked who he would be supporting if Real and Atlético play the Champions League final and he answered “both”. Now he says he wishes watching Real winning. We will know the truth on the 28th of May by looking to Raúl and see whose goals celebrates.

Marco Asensio

Real Madrid and Espanyol have a really good relationship and every year both clubs interchange some players. This summer, for instance, Los Blancos signed Lucas Vázquez and Kiko Casilla after their good performance at the Barcelona club.

Los Periquitos have targeted three other madridistas for the next season: Marco Asensio, Diego Llorente and Kiko Casilla.

Diego Llorente played for Rayo Vallecano this season, showing a great performance, either as a full back or as a stopper. Rayo Vallecano is about to be relegated to the Second Division but Llorente is a top division player. Both teams are already talking and are about to reach a deal.

Marco Asensio has a different situation. The player arrived last year to Real Madrid from Mallorca but left on loan to Espanyol. He played a really good season at Cornellà and the club would like the player to stay another year on loan.

It will be more difficult for Espanyol to get the other player targeted. Kiko Casilla has been on the bench the whole season but he did a good job every time he had the chance. For instance, he played against Valencia in the last game of the season at Bernabéu Stadium and was the best player on the pitch. If De Gea arrives to Madrid, Casilla is expected to leave the club and Espanyol could be a good option.

Dimitri Payet

Dimitri Payet has called the attention of every single big club in Europe after his stunning season with West Ham United. The French player arrived last year to East London from Olympique de Marsella and has scored 9 goals in 30 games.

Payet has played a key role in the best season in West Ham’s history. Right after his arrival, he’s won the praise of his coach, Slaven Bilic. Payet played in the initial line up 29 times this season helping his team to reach the Top 6.

West Ham paid only 12 M € this summer to Olympique de Marsella and they are willing to make a huge deal if they are able to sell the French player to a big club.

One team that might be interested in Payet is Real Madrid. James Rodríguez has not played well this season and he’s not happy with his current situation at Los Blancos. If the Colombian born leaves the club, Payet could be a good and cheaper replacement, according to the British press. Besides, as a French born player, Zidane knows really well Payet.

Surely that Atlético de Madrid’s striker Fernando Torres won’t be happy with UEFA’s decission. The referee for Champions League’s final in Milan on May 28th will be Mark Clattenburg, who showed one of the few red cards that Fernando Torres has seen in his career.

When Torres was yet Chelsea’s number 9, he was expelled by Clattenburg through double yellow. It happened on October 20th in 2012 against Manchester United. The English referee’s decission was so controversial that he was suspended one month without work.

Clattenburg will judge the second final between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid. He has been appointed four times to Los Blancos and they have won all those matches. The last game was this season, against PSG (1-0) in the group stage.

On the other hand, Los Rojiblancos has played with Clattenburg as the referee seven times. Four wins, two draws and one defeat. The last match was also this season. It was exactly one month ago, in the victory against Bayern at Vicente Calderón (1-0).

Raphael Varane is not happy at Real Madrid. The French defender has been relegated to the bench in the last games with Zinedine Zidane and he’s eager to play in the initial eleven.

Pepe and Sergio Ramos has convinced the French coach and they’re always starting the important games. For example, both showed a great performance in the Champions League semifinals.

Although Zidane played a key role when signing Varane from Lens, the coach is not very happy with Varane’s performance. For example, he made a big mistake in Valencia’s first goal on Sunday, scored by Rodrigo.

With this situation, Manchester United has spot the opportunity to bring Varane to Old Trafford. Besides, José Mourinho is going to arrive to the Red Devils club in the next few days and the Portuguese had a lot of confidence in Varane when both worked for Real Madrid.

According to the British press, Manchester United has already bid 25M pounds (around 32M €) for the 23-years-old French player.
