While many Real Madrid well wishers did not take Rafa Benitez’s appointment as the new manager that well, Zinedine Zidane has come out supporting the Spaniard.
Benitez’s association with Real Madrid is not new. He has played as well as managed the junior team of the club in the past and thus, he isn’t a bad choice, that’s what Zidane reckons.
However, what’s interesting is that Zidane himself was also in the frame to replace Ancelotti and he had had the backing of a lot of people too, but, the Los Blancos top brass opted to bring in an experienced manager.
Zidane is in charge of Castilla currently and he empathized that he’s very happy with that job, but, he did admit that his ultimate ambition is to manage a La Liga team.
Speaking in an interview, the 42-year old said, “I don’t mind keep working as the Castilla coach. Of course, I would love to do the job at the senior level whenever the opportunity arrives. But, I am happy with the position I am in at this point of time.” (more…)

Read More301 goals in 290 appearances is the record that Cristiano Ronaldo has with Real Madrid after being able to score against Eibar on April 11. The Portuguese forward is now making his mark on the history-books of Real Madrid as he is edging closer to Raul’s goal-scoring record which is 323 goals in 741 appearances.
Cristiano Ronaldo is only a few goals away from becoming the top goal-scorer of Real Madrid and he is about to do it in less than half of the amount of appearances that Raul managed to do during his playing career at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Even with everything that C.Ronaldo has accomplished not only with Real Madrid but also with his former club Manchester United, the Portuguese attacker is not a fan favorite for many people around the world and this is due to the arrogant personality that the 30 year old player displays when he performs on the pitch.
There have a been a number of occasions where C.Ronaldo has been sanctioned and critiqued due to some of the goal celebrations and actions that the winger has made in certain games and this is another reason on why C.Ronaldo is not as admired as much as other top players such as: Lionel Messi or Ricardo Kaka who won the Ballon d’Or award back in 2007.

Read MoreCristiano Ronaldo managed to end his goal scoring drought, which went on for two matches, after scoring in the 2-0 win over Schalke in the Champions League. This was the last 16 tie for the current champions and they were expected to progress with relative ease.
But this was the situation when the draw was made and a lot has changed since then. Madrid’s form has worsened of late and manager Carlo Ancelotti has been finding it difficult to get a consistent run going. The team suffered its worst defeat of the season in the 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Atletico Madrid.
Apart from the defeat, the performances of Ronaldo have also been worrying the Spanish club. The former Manchester United star returned from a two match suspension against Atletico Madrid, but he failed to make any impact in the game. This was followed by another blank in the 2-0 win over Deportivo la Coruna. (more…)
