🛬Real Madrid have arrived in Seville. 🤍

🚨 Fran García on new left-backs at Real Madrid: “The club signed Álvaro Carreras, but I finished the season playing important matches.”

“This season, Cucurella was signed, I think to myself: we have four left-backs, I don't know if I'll be up to the task. Ferland Mendy is injured but he'll be back at the end of the year. They've spent fifty million on Alvaro and sixty on Cucurella. I understand those players are going to be the priority."

🚨Zinedine Zidane on Lionel Messi retiring from international football before Cristiano Ronaldo:

🗣️ Zidane: “Honestly, we all thought Cristiano would be the first to go. But that’s because we cannot read their minds. They are two completely different people, with different mentalities and different feelings about the game.

One may feel he has achieved everything there is to achieve, while the other may still feel there is something left to give. That is football. You cannot decide when another player’s journey should end.

Ronaldo could announce his retirement tomorrow and people would say he copied Messi. No. It would simply be his decision. Portugal are still trying to understand how they will live without him, because replacing Cristiano Ronaldo is impossible.

You can find another great player, but you will never find another Ronaldo. At some point, Portugal will have to let him go, and when that day comes, they will feel the difference immediately.”
