However, 35-year-old Bale has been retired for two years, away from the green field and the spotlight, enjoying leisure time. During his time at Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, and Los Angeles FC, Bale was already a passionate fan of golf. Especially during his time at Real Madrid, fans were dissatisfied with Bale's attitude, ranking Wales and golf ahead of Real Madrid. Now that he has bid farewell to the football field, Bale can fully devote himself to the sport of golf. AS stated that although Bale's era at Real Madrid was controversial, his two classic moments: overtaking Barttra in the Copa del Rey final and scoring an overhead kick against Liverpool in the Champions League final, have been recorded in Real Madrid's history. Whether one admits it or not, Bale is a legend of Real Madrid. After retiring, Bale frequently participates in golf events.

Since joining Real Madrid this season, Mbappe has not performed at the top level that everyone expected, and there have been many rumors about changes in his future. As a top European powerhouse, Real Madrid cannot give Mbappe unlimited opportunities to exercise himself. They have also been looking for someone who can be a stable center forward for the team, and this time the target of Real Madrid has been exposed. Real Madrid wants to bring in the striker Isaac, who has shone in the Premier League this season. As a forward from La Liga's Real Sociedad, Isaac has maintained a very high level since joining Newcastle. This season, he scored 14 goals and provided 4 assists in 17 Premier League games, which made many top clubs want to sign this central forward at the peak. Currently, Newcastle's asking price for Isaac has reached 150 million euros because they spent 70 million euros buying Isaac from Real Sociedad. Now that Isaac has realized his ability and talent, the asking price is naturally not low. Fans familiar with Real Madrid's signings in those years should also remember that Real Madrid asked about Isaac at that time. But considering signing Haaland later, Real Madrid finally did not choose to take away Isaac. But now Haaland is quite happy playing for Manchester City, so Real Madrid also wants to pursue Isaac. Isaac is a player with a big heart who gets stronger when facing strong opponents. This season, he has played at a top level against the big six teams, earning him a…

On January 4th at dawn, in the make-up match of the 12th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Valencia away from home. Real Madrid started the game trailing, followed by Bellingham missing a penalty, Mbappe's goal being disallowed for offside, and Vinicius being sent off with a red card. Despite these difficulties, Real Madrid managed to turn the game around, defeating Valencia 2-1, showcasing Ancelotti's excellent coaching abilities. Coach Ancelotti adapts his tactics! Switching to a 4-2-3-1 formation, he has activated the core of Real Madrid, contributing to 6 goals in 6 games and leading the team to the top of La Liga. Real Madrid conceded a goal in the 27th minute when Guedes' shot was saved by Courtois, but Duro scored on the rebound with no one marking him, putting Real Madrid behind 0-1. In the 55th minute, after Mbappe created a penalty, Bellingham hit the post with his shot. In the 61st minute, Mbappe's solo goal over the goalkeeper was ruled offside. In the 79th minute, Vinicius was sent off for maliciously pushing down Valencia goalkeeper Dimitrievski. In the 85th minute, Bellingham set up Modric to equalize for Real Madrid. In the 95th minute, Bellingham intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and scored the winning goal.

This La Liga match saw Real Madrid engage in a highly passionate contest. During the game, despite Vinicius being sent off and Bellingham failing to convert a penalty, Bellingham ultimately managed to score a lob shot in the dying moments to secure victory for Real Madrid. The match also made it clear that the internal leadership battle within Real Madrid has come to an end. In this game, Mbappe created a penalty but chose to give up the opportunity to take it. Bellingham stepped up to take the penalty but was unfortunately disturbed by the opposing goalkeeper and missed the crucial goal, nearly costing Real Madrid the win. However, Bellingham eventually resolved the match with his individual ability. This also made fans realize that Bellingham is indeed the future star of Real Madrid. In his first season with the club, Bellingham has shown remarkable performance, with his value skyrocketing to 180 million euros. Initially this season, due to the need to adapt to Mbappe's presence, Bellingham continuously gave up his offensive opportunities. Fortunately, he has recently rediscovered himself and once again produced impressive statistics. Mbappe has also completely submitted to Bellingham this time, realizing that it is unlikely for him to become the top player within Real Madrid. At this point, actively giving up his position and building a good relationship with Bellingham is a wiser choice. In fact, fans believe that Bellingham resembles Cristiano Ronaldo more. His competitive spirit and attitude on the field make him more suitable as a leader within Real Madrid.

In the midst of the new Premier League season, Arsenal has shown strong competitiveness with a second-place ranking at the halfway point. However, the team's current situation is a mixed bag of joy and concern. On one hand, they have conceded as few goals as Liverpool, with both teams tied at 17 goals, demonstrating the robust stability of their defense. On the other hand, Arsenal's goal tally is seven fewer than Liverpool's, indicating that they must strengthen their forward line. The Gunners' top scorer, Havertz, has only managed to score 7 goals in the Premier League this season, which is not ideal for a team aiming for the title. The injury to Saka has added to the team's woes, further impacting the firepower of the forward line and creating a sense of urgency for the entire squad. In light of this, reinforcing the forward line during the winter transfer window has become an urgent priority for Arsenal. Fortunately, Arteta has received financial support from the club, who are willing to back him in the transfer market. It is reported that Arsenal has identified eight potential targets for reinforcement. Now it remains to be seen which of these targets will be easier to secure. Within the Premier League, three players have caught Arsenal's attention. Isaac is undoubtedly the most eye-catching among them. The Swedish striker is in excellent form, having scored 13 goals and provided 4 assists in 20 matches across all competitions this season. However, his asking price exceeds £150 million, which may deter Arsenal. Additionally, 25-year-old Brazilian striker Cunha…

Victory = Top Spot + 5 Points Ahead of Barcelona, with 4 Stars Playing Together Real Madrid is set to kick off their new year with a tough match at the Mestalla Stadium against Valencia. The four superstars are finally going to play together in this crucial game, where a win could see them overtake Barcelona by several points and potentially widen the gap between them. A loss, however, could result in Atletico Madrid pulling ahead. Valencia has had a good record against Real Madrid at home, winning three and drawing two out of their last six home matches. This makes the Real Madrid players somewhat nervous when they visit, considering the fervor of the local fans. The condition of the grass at the Mestalla Stadium is not ideal, which can be particularly challenging for Real Madrid's possession-based playing style, as the ball tends to bounce unpredictably on the uneven surface. Valencia's players give it their all during home games, knowing that a victory over Real Madrid can bring them international fame. They often run harder than usual in these matches. Real Madrid's players often struggle to perform at their best at this stadium, even newcomers like Jude Bellingham have expressed discomfort due to the small size and heat of the venue.

Real Madrid Tops the Table with a 5-point Lead Over Barcelona On the early morning of January 4th, Beijing time, the 12th round of the 2024-25 La Liga season saw a crucial make-up match between Valencia and reigning champions Real Madrid at the Mestalla Stadium. After 90 minutes of intense battle, Real Madrid managed a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Valencia. As Barcelona continued to struggle, both Madrid giants seized the opportunity to overtake them.

Beijing Guoan's 2025 lineup is also luxurious, after all, there's a Barcelona coach, a former Real Madrid player, and the most powerful brain.

With the opening of the winter transfer window, the three core players of Premier League leaders Liverpool - Salah, Van Dijk, and Alexander-Arnold - will all be free to negotiate with potential new clubs. Among them, Alexander-Arnold is undoubtedly the most likely to leave, as he has been previously linked with Real Madrid. On January 2nd, Spanish media outlet "As" reported that Real Madrid has made its first offer for Alexander-Arnold during the winter window. However, this offer has been perceived as somewhat "disrespectful" by outsiders. It is reported that Real Madrid's offer for Alexander-Arnold is not the 25 million euros disclosed by British media such as "The Telegraph," but no more than 15 million euros. It should be noted that Alexander-Arnold's current market value on the German "Transfer Market" is as high as 75 million euros, making Real Madrid's offer only one-fifth of his market value. The La Liga giants have also declared that if a deal cannot be reached at this price, they will wait until the summer window to sign Alexander-Arnold for free. It seems that Real Madrid is convinced that Alexander-Arnold will not go anywhere else, reminiscent of their previous move to sign Mbappe for free. The reason why Real Madrid is unwilling to pay a high price for Alexander-Arnold in the winter window is that he is not indispensable to the team. Players like Vazquez, Valverde, and young Asensio can play as right-backs, giving the club some room for maneuver without needing to panic and activate an emergency plan. Currently, the most passive party is…

With his contract with the club nearing its end and Real Madrid extending an olive branch, a quiet battle about the future, loyalty, and dreams is unfolding. So, will Arnold really leave Liverpool in January to join Real Madrid? And how can Liverpool maintain their pursuit of the Premier League title amidst this turmoil? I. Contract Expiry and Real Madrid's Intentions Arnold's contract is set to expire at the end of this season, providing an excellent opportunity for long-coveting top clubs. Among them, Real Madrid is undoubtedly the most threatening. As one of Europe's top football giants, Real Madrid is renowned for its strong recruitment capabilities and attraction to top players. It seems they have now set their sights on Arnold. According to rumors, Real Madrid plans to attempt to sign Arnold for free next summer. However, surprisingly, they seem unsatisfied with waiting and are trying to complete the deal as early as January. This move undoubtedly puts immense pressure on Liverpool. After all, if Arnold were to leave in January, Liverpool would lose a key player, dealing a heavy blow to their Premier League title aspirations this season. II. Liverpool Rejects Offer, New Contract Negotiations Stalled In response to Real Madrid's offer, Liverpool reacted quickly and resolutely.
