At 3 a.m. Beijing time on January 13th, the Spanish Super Cup final officially kicked off between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Below is a brief review of the match. In the 5th minute of the first half, Mbappe broke into the penalty area from the right flank and scored with a powerful shot from a tight angle, making it 1-0 for Real Madrid to achieve a dream start. In the 22nd minute, Lewandowski made a through pass, and Yamal cut inside the penalty area and took a cold shot, leveling the score at 1-1 for Barcelona. At 17 years and 183 days old, Yamal became the youngest player to score in the Spanish Super Cup final. In the 36th minute, Gavi was brought down in the penalty area by Camavinga, and the referee awarded a penalty. Lewandowski converted the penalty, making it 2-1 for Barcelona to take the lead. Lewandowski has played 27 games for Barcelona this season in all competitions, scoring 29 goals.

Rafinha set up the play, and Balde scored with a low shot into the net, making it 4-1. In the 48th minute of the second half, Szczesny launched a long ball, and Casado made a direct pass. Rafinha galloped forward, broke through to the penalty area,…

In the semi-finals of this season's Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid and Barcelona defeated their respective opponents to meet in the final. In the first leg of the Spanish national derby in the season, the Galacticos suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat at the hands of Barcelona at the Bernabeu. Now, facing each other again, the goal of the Real Madrid players was only one: to seek revenge and win the championship. After the start of the match, Mbappe helped Real Madrid get off to a dream start, but then Barcelona launched a massacre mode, eventually washing away the Galaxy Battleship with a 5-2 victory and winning the Spanish Super Cup championship! Under Flick's tutelage, Barcelona's performance at the beginning of this season was very impressive. However, as the schedule progressed, they gradually lost their magic and gave up the top spot on the league standings. In order to continue the strong performance against Real Madrid in the previous game, Flick did not hold back at all. In the 433 formation, Szczesny guarded the goal, with Kounde, Kuba, Inigo, and Balde forming the defense, Gavi, Casado, and Pedri taking charge of the midfield, and Amal, Lewandowski, and Rafinha forming the attacking trident. In stark contrast to Barcelona's high start and low finish, Real Madrid's overall performance has improved significantly after Mbappe gradually integrated into the team system. In order to avenge the previous defeat, Ancelotti also adopted the 4231 system in this championship battle. The starting goalkeeper was Courtois, with Mendy, Rudiger, Tchouameni, and Vazquez forming the defense, Camavinga and Valverde…

Zinedine Zidane, known as "Emperor Zidane," has a profound meaning behind his nickname. Since he took over Real Madrid, the feat of winning three consecutive Champions League titles remains awe-inspiring to this day. Whether it's his calm tactical deployment or his bold on-site command, he has shown an unprecedented magic, an aura of invincibility, which can be called a "master of football metaphysics." However, it must be said that Zidane's period of glory was not without its cost. In fact, one could say that he left with great decisiveness and caution, never rushing back to the coaching bench. From the moment he left Real Madrid on May 27, 2021, more than 1300 days have passed until today. Although he seems to be living a leisurely life, in reality, he has turned down invitations from more than one top club. Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Juventus - almost all major clubs have tried to recruit him. Yet Zidane is very clear; his goal has long been set, with only two choices in his heart - returning to Real Madrid or coaching the French national team. Some may ask, what exactly is Zidane waiting for? Is it really because of a lack of coaching experience? To some extent, he does not have the "sharpness" in coaching experience, but this does not hinder his unparalleled authority in the locker room. You should know that players are willing to dedicate themselves to Zidane, not only because he was once a legend on the field, but also because of his innate leadership qualities. A…

On the night of January 13th, Beijing time, a series of thrilling football matches took place across various leagues, including La Liga, Serie A, the Spanish Super Cup final, and the FA Cup. Notable teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, and Inter Milan were in action. Among the highlights, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 5-2 to claim the title, Manchester United eliminated Arsenal on penalties with a score of 6-4, and Atletico Madrid achieved their 14th consecutive victory. In the Spanish Super Cup final, two giants met for the third consecutive year, with Real Madrid just one title behind Barcelona. Real Madrid started strong with a goal from Mbappe within the first ten minutes, but their defense crumbled shortly after. Barcelona scored four goals in a span of 33 minutes, with goals from Yarmal, Lewandowski, Rafinha, and Balde, turning the game around from a 0-1 deficit to a 4-1 lead. In the second half, Rafinha added another goal for Barcelona, making it 5-1. However, goalkeeper Szczesny was sent off for a red card tackle on Mbappe, leading to a goal from Rodrigo, reducing the score to 2-5. Despite this, Real Madrid could not overcome the deficit, and Barcelona secured their 15th Spanish Super Cup title, their first trophy of the season. In the FA Cup, Arsenal and Manchester United faced off, with both teams having a rich history in the competition. Manchester United needed a win to advance. The first half saw no goals, with Arsenal's goal from Martinelli ruled out due to offside. In the…

Has Real Madrid really found their "chosen one"? A decisive 3-0 victory suggests they have undergone a transformation, or was it just a stroke of luck in a home game? Especially in recent years, as competition among top clubs has intensified, this big family seems to have revealed its trump card. Unexpectedly, a 21-year-old rising star has become the soul of this victory, but can the future of Real Madrid really be pinned on him alone? First, let's talk about the match. In the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid faced Mallorca, and the result was not surprising: a 3-0 victory, securing a comfortable advancement. While such an outcome is undoubtedly satisfying, the match itself was not as easy as the score suggests. In the first half, both sides were locked in a tight battle, with Real Madrid maintaining a higher possession rate and creating numerous attacks, yet unable to break the deadlock. The turning point came in the 63rd minute with Jude Bellingham's crucial follow-up shot. He decisively struck the ball into the net before the opponent could clear it, breaking the stalemate and igniting the team's morale. Following this, a Mallorca defender's own goal, which could be seen as a "divine assist," propelled Real Madrid onto the fast track to victory. Then, just before the end of the match, Rodrygo sealed the score with a beautiful push shot. Ultimately, while the team effort was evident, Bellingham was undoubtedly the "true core." Beyond his goal-scoring contribution, he covered the entire field with his runs, constantly creating threats,…

The English translation of the article content is as follows: After the dismissal of Jose Mourinho, Manchester United has gone through seven head coaches but still hasn't seen the red dawn over Manchester. Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo recently proposed the "fish tank theory," suggesting that the problem with Manchester United lies not with the coaches but with the players. This insight is profound; the moment the management chose to support French star Paul Pogba and sacked Mourinho, the turmoil at United was already destined. Jim Ratcliffe, the owner of Manchester United, has been at Old Trafford for half a year, living frugally. He replaced Ten Hag with Amorim, but the team remains in chaos. Amorin insists on his 3-4-3 formation tactical philosophy, which will inevitably lead to significant changes. However, Ratcliffe told Amorim that they can buy players only after selling some first. As a result, almost all Manchester United players have been put on the transfer market, open for negotiation without discrimination. However, there are not many players in Manchester United's squad who can make waves in the transfer market. After the injury to Carvajal, Real Madrid continues to seek replacements to maintain team balance. The Spanish giants offered Liverpool's young star Alexander-Arnold 20 million pounds, which Liverpool considered insulting, especially since they are in a good position to win the title this season and would not sell a key player during a critical period. According to Mirror reports, after failing to sign Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid turned their attention to Manchester United's Portuguese full-back Dalot. In the recently concluded…

This winter transfer window has seen Manchester City go on a spending spree. Players like Marmoush, Huseynov, and Reis are very close to joining the club. However, Pep Guardiola still has his sights set on other targets. On January 12th, British media outlet Football Insider exclusively revealed that Guardiola is interested in signing Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni, and Manchester City has prepared the necessary funds. As the reigning champions of the Premier League for four consecutive years, Manchester City is showing signs of collapse this season, trailing Liverpool by as many as 12 points in the league and underperforming in the Champions League. Key players such as Grealish, Walker, De Bruyne, and Gundogan are not performing at their previous levels. Guardiola realizes that Manchester City needs to rebuild. The club has already started this process during the winter transfer window. Target players include Uzbekistani central defender Huseynov from Lorient, Brazilian defender Reis from Palmeiras, and Frankfurt forward Marmoush. According to authoritative journalist Fabrizio Romano, Huseynov has already confirmed his move, while the transfers of Reis and Marmoush are in progress. In addition to these "three signings," Guardiola also wants to strengthen the defense. Exclusive information from Football Insider reveals that Guardiola has his eye on Real Madrid's Tchouameni. The soon-to-be 25-year-old Tchouameni is a versatile player for Real Madrid, capable of playing as a defensive midfielder or as a center-back, having made 22 appearances for the club this season. After Rodri's serious injury, Manchester City urgently wants to sign a defensive midfielder, and Tchouameni has entered their consideration. Transfermarkt values…

In the aftermath of Barcelona successfully registering Olmo, the Spanish football scene experienced significant turmoil. Within just one day, eight clubs have openly protested, questioning whether Barcelona received preferential treatment. Under mounting pressure, La Liga has decided to appeal the decision to register Olmo. On January 1st, Barcelona was unable to resolve financial issues, leading to the expiration of Olmo's registration. On January 4th, Barcelona re-applied for Olmo's registration but was rejected by both La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation. Subsequently, Barcelona filed an appeal. Ultimately, the Spanish High Sports Council ruled that Barcelona could temporarily register Olmo. In the early hours of January 9th, Barcelona officially announced the successful registration of Olmo. Over the past 24 hours, as many as seven clubs have publicly protested. The first to speak out was La Liga team Las Palmas, who officially expressed their great disappointment with the decision to allow temporary registration for Olmo & Victor, stating they "absolutely disagree." Following Las Palmas, Atlético Madrid, Málaga, Espanyol, Valencia, Athletic Bilbao, and Valladolid also issued statements, condemning Barcelona's actions for disrupting the football environment and casting a severe negative shadow over Spanish football. Atlético Madrid believes that "this decision undermines the current system and raises questions about match rules." Although Real Madrid did not issue a public statement, Ancelotti expressed his dissatisfaction. In an interview, the Real Madrid coach stated, "I do have thoughts on the matter with Olmo, but I don't want to say them." Clearly, Coach Ancelotti is aware that if he speaks up, it will surely stir up significant…

In the undercurrents of the football transfer market, every move made by Europe's major clubs is closely watched by fans. Recently, according to a report from "AS", La Liga giants Real Madrid have taken the lead and are preparing to make Atalanta's Brazilian midfielder Edson Silva their top target for the winter window. Real Madrid's current transfer strategy is very clear, aiming to strengthen their midfield and further optimize their existing squad. In recent months, the future of Chouameni has been uncertain, with his potential departure seemingly becoming a key opportunity for Real Madrid to adjust their midfield personnel, which if it happens, could help alleviate the slightly excessive number of midfielders. At the same time, despite Subimendi's advantages in terms of his own strength and fitting into the club's new policy of "Spanish internationals," making him a desirable replacement for Kroos, Real Madrid's sports management clearly has more comprehensive considerations and has not stopped looking for other midfield gems, thus Edson Silva has entered their sights. It is reported that in order to obtain Edson Silva, Real Madrid is prepared to offer 60 million euros. From Atalanta's perspective, holding onto Edson Silva, they naturally will not let go easily. The player's contract does not expire until June 2027, and he is in his prime, an indispensable part of the team's midfield. Therefore, during the winter transfer window, Atalanta's stance is firm, refusing to let him leave. However, according to reliable sources, if they receive an attractive offer similar to that of a few months ago, Atalanta will reconsider and…

This season, Real Madrid's defense has faced significant challenges, with injuries to Carvajal and Militao leaving the backline even more vulnerable. With multiple competitions underway, reinforcing the defense has become an urgent matter. However, while rumors have linked Real Madrid with moves for full-backs like Arnold, there has been little action regarding central defenders. Why is Real Madrid reluctant to invest in this position? The answer may lie in this young player. Raul Asensio, the 21-year-old Real Madrid youth product, was called upon during a time of need and seized the opportunity to represent the first team. On the pitch, Raul Asensio showed no fear, engaging physically with opponents and delivering a fine long pass assist for Bellingham's goal in his debut against Osasuna. In addition to his aggressive playing style, Raul Asensio is also adept at getting into the heads of opponents. In a recent Spanish Super Cup match against Mallorca, he not only performed well in both attack and defense but also verbally targeted Maffeo, who had been harassing Vinicius throughout the game, causing him to lose his composure. Raul Asensio's assertiveness on the pitch is evident, whether it's in defense or verbal confrontations, he doesn't back down. Currently, he just lacks experience. Seeing Raul Asensio's demeanor, many might find it familiar - yes, it's reminiscent of Ramos. The former Real Madrid captain was also a tough guy on the pitch, never backing down in either play or words. It's believed that if Raul Asensio can get enough opportunities in the future, he might just become the next…
