We are joined by Sid Lowe to talk about the success-poisoning that has laid Real Madrid low. Is Santiago Solari giving Isco a fair go? Who have they identified as the new stars of next season’s squad? And what manner of self-sabotaging morbidity could be tempting them to re-appoint Jose Mourinho?
Some weeks, there’s nothing to write. Some weeks there’s loads. But what? Valencia? Williams? Betis and Madrid? RDT? Villarreal? Isco? Or that little bloke and his 400th league goal? ???????
