The Football Jockey

788 people dead. Over 2500 missing. On the border between Nepal and Tibet. Thousands of kilometres from the Bernabéu.

No connection to football. And still Real Madrid stopped everything. Players wore black armbands. 80 thousand people stood in silence. For strangers they will never meet.

Champions Leagues make you successful. But how you behave when nobody is giving you a trophy for it — that is what makes you different.

That is the Real Madrid standard. 🤍

3 games. 3 wins. 9 points. Mourinho’s Madrid are starting to look serious. 👀🤍

Bellingham. Mbappe. Guler. 4-0 at the Bernabéu. And somehow this team still feels like it is only getting started. 🔥

A Real Madrid creator defending Atlético Madrid. Never thought I would say this. But the Julián Álvarez situation is not what people are making it.

He signed until 2030 with a €500M release clause. Nobody forced him. Atlético have every right to say no. Remember when PSG refused to sell Mbappé to Madrid? Same principle.

Contracts protect clubs too.
Am I wrong or does nobody want to admit this? 👇

FIFA just banned one of Messi’s teammates for an ENTIRE YEAR.

Paredes grabbed a player by the throat after the World Cup Final and now Argentina are paying for it with bans, fines and half their stadium gone.

Four players banned. One coach banned. 321 thousand dollars in fines. They earned 34 million in prize money and threw away their dignity in 5 minutes.

Was FIFA too harsh or did Argentina deserve this? 👇

Real Madrid finally win 2-1 against Espanyol. My Club is back

Bad Game and won by miracle

Carlos Espi the saviour❤️❤️

Everyone is begging for the next Kroos. Nobody is asking why Madrid never replaced Isco.

In 2017 when Isco started — Madrid won La Liga AND the Champions League. That was not a coincidence. Guler plays exactly like him.

The question is whether Mourinho makes the same mistake every other manager made.

Part 1 of One Thing Nobody Will Say.

Do you agree or have I lost my mind? 👇

For years people have found reasons to hate Cristiano Ronaldo. Too arrogant. Too selfish.

Then Messi loses his father and Ronaldo is the one showing support. Maybe because he lost his own father at 20.

Maybe because he understood that pain. Football made them rivals. Pain reminded everyone they were human first. 🤍

Mourinho’s biggest enemy at Real Madrid was never Barcelona. It was his own dressing room. His Netflix documentary just reopened the wound — Casillas is in it discussing their fallout on camera.

13 years later — same club, same job, same obsession. But something feels different this time. Has he really changed? Or are we watching the same movie again? 🤍

Real Madrid have spent eight years trying to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. They still have not.

Vinícius for the dribbling. Mbappé for the finishing. Diomandé for the speed. Bernardo for the creativity. Trent for the passing.

Five superstars. And Cristiano gave Madrid a little bit of ALL of that by himself.

Back then — they just had number 7. 🤍

Vinícius Junior may be connected to why Real Madrid lost Rodri to Barcelona. Not directly. But the timing and the relationships around Juni Calafat are very interesting.

Theory not fact. But worth asking the question. 🤍
