Real Madrid continues to dominate in the Champions League, as they secured a spot in the semi-finals after a 2-0 victory over Chelsea (Marca). The match was led by the impressive performance of Fede Valverde, who was named man of the match for his efforts (Real Madrid). Other key players included Rodrygo, who scored a brace, and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who expressed that the team will try to replicate their Champions League success from last year (Marca).
Off the field, Real Madrid’s interest in Borussia Dortmund player Jude Bellingham has been widely reported (Football Espana), while rumors also suggest that Carlo Ancelotti may be returning to the club as manager in the summer (Analysis: Should Real Madrid splash out on Samuel Chukwueze this summer?).
However, not all news for Real Madrid is positive. Reports suggest that their 2-0 win over Cádiz was marred by racial abuse towards Real Madrid player Antonio Rüdiger (Bleacher Report). Meanwhile, the club’s relationship with Barcelona has soured, leading to a potential end of their cordial relationship (Marca).
Throughout all of this, Real Madrid has been focused on their upcoming matches, including the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Chelsea (Real Madrid). Whether these efforts will lead to continued success remains to be seen, but Real Madrid’s determination is clear.
