Apart from the already multiple written up reasons, this last is being investigated as

Colombian International & ATLETICO DE MADRID forward RADAMEL FALCAO is hot property in World Football at this moment. His HAT- TRICK performance against Chelsea FC  in the UEFA Super Cup showcased & cemented the "Best Nº 9 in the World" tag. In fact, there is no doubt that Falcao is a goal-square "predictor" & deadly in his finishing.

All the above puts the man in the spotlight & on

Continuing on from yesterdays post below on CRISTIANO RONALDO & his "sadness", at REAL MADRID CF the below diagram of "Top Football Players Salaries" may shine a light on things.

CR7 is currently the 10th "Best Paid" Footballer in World Football, far from the Nº1 Samuel Eto´o with 20M€ / year. I suspect that part of the "Ronaldo Crisis" that has saturated the local & World

If your visiting this website from outside Spain, as the majority of the readers of "Spanish Football Sports Blog" do, you may be visiting to find out more about the latest CRISTIANO RONALDO affair,  or "Crisis". In fact it is the only thing that the local Football & Sports media are talking & writing about today, as the post-match words yesterday from the REAL MADRID star that he was "unhappy"

The transfer window shut for "European Football" this midnight & before this most European Clubs have been frantic shutting operations. One of these many, & surprisingly, is the announcement by REAL MADRID CF that they have gained the services of midfielder MICHAEL ESSIEN from CHELSEA FC for this season. The operation is a loan & the Chelsea player comes over to fill in the "vacuum" that LASS

REAL MADRID has defeated FC BARCELONA 2 -1 in the return leg of the SPANISH SUPER CUP to claim the first title of the 2012-2013 season. The Madrid Club wins & takes away a psychological boost for the upcoming matches & for the next time these two giants of World Football meet again. The final score on aggregate was 4 - 4 with Real Madrid the winner over the two games with double away goals

This man in the picture was seen in Madrid this morning. Its Croatian International midfielder LUKA MODRIC who has been announced officially signed by REAL MADRID from TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS.

The deal is 30M€ plus incentives to Tottenham, apart - although not due entirely to the Modric deal - a joint collaboration package between Clubs in transfers, training issues &

First "Round" of the SPANISH SUPER CUP 2012-2013 goes to FC BARCELONA 3 - 2 over REAL MADRID. Deserved & just victory by Barça which was superior in play & is in much better form. At least it was clearly this way in the first half for Barça with 75% ball possesion on average & an out of sync Real Madrid that still has way too go to find its best form.

Said all this, lets not

The SPANISH FOOTBALL 2012 - 2013 season is just days in & we already have already a FC BARCELONA - REAL MADRID CF clash tonight at 22.30 local time. The reason is the 1ºst leg of the SPANISH SUPER CUP title. Both teams have played down the importance of the match &, in some respects, the actual title, but with these two Clubs & the rivalry between both I don´t believe it.

What´s up with LUKA MODRIC & the REAL MADRID move?

Overseas readers may be wondering this as the signing-deal was supposed to have happened last week, then it was moved to last Monday, but still no move. 





Luka Modric



The answer is simple. TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS President Levy will not give the green light until his Club has 100% confirmed a substitute for the Croatian International. The

There is a
soap box drama happening at ATHLETIC CLUB BILBAO which is worth a post for all the Spanish Football Sports readers. After attempting to renew the contract of 27 year old forward FERNANDO
LLORENTE, the player has announced to his Club President that he does not wish
to continue another season. The situation gets spicy because the Spanish
International becomes a “free-agent”  as
of the 1

REAL MADRID midfielder 23 year old NURI SAHIN refused a loan option to Arsenal FC weeks back claiming he was convinced he could work his way into the Spanish Team squad. His Coach Jose Mourinho communicated to the player that he had slim chances of playing this season & that it was better to find another Club ( competition ) to gain playing time & keep evolving. Real Madrid has hopes placed on

The REAL MADRID – TOTTENHAM HOPSPURS – LUKA MODRIC “affair” seems to be getting into its final stages. While the Croatian International is currently in the Croatian city of Split with his National Team, Real Madrid & Tottenham have apparently settled the fine print.

Spanish media sources claim that the final offer is around 32M€ plus variables. It is also claimed that Tottenham has asked Real

The SPANISH
FOOTBALL LEAGUE – LA LIGA – kicks off next Saturday 18 th of August for season
2012 – 2013. The favourites beforehand are as always FC BARCELONA & REAL

To get a glimpse at the Football levels of the favourites so early into the season, Real Madrid
& FC Barcelona will be fighting it out for the

Spanish Football Club REAL MADRID continues with its US Tour & series of friendly games, this time against AC MILAN & won 5 - 1. Below are the highlights of all the goals of the match, which I remind is pre-season.






Goals:
1-0 (23'): Di Maria. 1-1 (32'): Robinho. 2-1 (48'): Cristiano. 3-1 (65'): Cristiano, from a  Kaká pass. 4-1 (80'): Ramos,  header from a Kaká corner. 5-1 (88'): Callejon.

ARSENAL FC is fishing in Spanish Football waters. One catch virtually done is Spanish International & MALAGA FC midfielder SANTIAGO CAZORLA. His current Club is undergoing financial problems & paying the players has not been a regular habit. Thus Malaga FC & Cazorla have been open to offers & Arsenal has happily stepped in with around 16M€. The Spanish Football player is flying off to London to

News coming out of Portugal ( via the paper "A Bola" ) is that REAL MADRID has returned to put its "signing eyes" on BENFICA 23 year old Belgium midfielder AXEL WITSEL. They go further & announce that negotiations are advanced & that the Spanish Football Club has put on the table a cool 40M€.

However, lets all hold our horses. The story coincides right at the moment when the Real

Spanish Football Club REAL MADRID flys off today to the United States for its pre-season overseas tour. The whole team, Kaka & Sahin included & the Internationals,  will be in Los Angeles tomorrow except Carvalho who stays in Madrid to clear up this future. 





Real Madrid will train on the UCLA Campus grounds & play four friendly matches:
2nd of August Los Angeles Galaxy
5th of August Santos

REAL MADRID & AC MILAN have always had good relations. The rumours that KAKA could return to the Italian Club that made him a "great" have always persisted,  & as weeks pass the rumours looks more & more like a reality.

Today Kaka´s  representative-agent Paolillo was seen in Milan visiting the AC MILAN offices. This comes days after Kaka meet with his Coach Jose
