Real Madrid's Home Challenge: Previewing the Clash with Real Sociedad.

The Spanish football season consistently delivers moments of brilliance, tension, and unforgettable drama, but certain fixtures stand out as tactical masterpieces and emotional spectacles. One such encounter arrives when Real Madrid prepares to defend its fortress against the resilient and technically gifted Real Sociedad. While not traditionally classified among Spain’s fiercest rivalries, this clash has steadily evolved into one of the most tactically intriguing matchups in modern Spanish football. With both clubs pursuing success in the fiercely competitive La Liga, their meeting represents far more than a routine league fixture. It symbolizes ambition, tactical evolution, and the continuous battle between established dominance and rising competitive consistency. The stage for this compelling contest is the legendary Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, widely regarded as one of football’s most iconic arenas.

Ruben Amorim blames Manchester United players for recent job losses.


Ruben Amorim believes Manchester United's players must accept responsibility for Sir Jim Ratcliffe's decision to cut another 200 jobs because their failures on the pitch have caused the crisis at Old Trafford.

United, which laid off 250 people last year, announced a new redundancy program on Monday as it seeks to cut costs after losing £373 million over the last five years.

And head coach Amorim, whose side is only 15th in the Premier League, believes the team is the "engine" of the club, stating that they must figure out how they got into such a bad situation.

United have underperformed on the pitch in recent seasons, finishing eighth in the league last season under Erik ten Hag, and are in danger of failing to qualify for Europe from the current season.

And Amorim said, "We as a club have to understand what we did wrong to get into this situation, so we need to think about solutions right now.

"We have to address all the problems in the club but one important piece of this moment is to understand how we got to this situation and it has a lot to do with the lack of success of the football team because we are the engine of any football club."


Amorim, who has only taken 15 points from his 15 league games in charge, admitted that it is difficult for players and staff to see their colleagues on the verge of unemployment, but urged his players to focus on getting results.

He added, "It's always difficult for everyone. They see friends and teammates losing their jobs, but we need to focus on what I can do to help the club right now. I just want to help the club in my department by improving the team and the players so that they can succeed.

"We know this year was extremely difficult for everyone. We made a lot of changes as a club, and having a football team that is playing well and winning games makes it easier for fans and everyone to believe that the changes are working. But we are currently in a difficult period within the club and on the pitch, so we must fight against this feeling and do our jobs to help the team perform better."

Didier Deschamps plans to discuss France captaincy with Kylian Mbappé, as Ibrahima Konaté's popularity rises.

Will Kylian Mbappé (25) keep his position as France captain in 2025? It remains to be seen, given the Real Madrid striker's absences from the previous two international holidays with Les Bleus. According to L'Equipe, Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps will confront the former PSG forward about his desire to continue wearing the captain's armband. The manager, a former France captain, reportedly wants to know if Mbappé feels the captaincy is too much for him to bear, and if wearing the captain's armband affects his time with his France teammates. According to the source, Deschamps is aware of speculations that Mbappé has considering retiring as France's captain.

However, if Mbappé expresses his desire to resign his position, Deschamps will select another captain. Mbappé's successor is projected to be one of Aurélien Tcho...
