Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema star as Real Madrid take edge into Copa del Rey second leg

Thursday evening's entertaining Copa del Rey quarter-final first leg at the Bernabeu swung back and forth, but Real Madrid came on strong late for a 4-2 win which makes them favourites to progress after next Thursday's second leg at Girona.

Positives

Madrid are close to the Copa del Rey semifinals for the first time since they won the competition back in 2014, with the way they reacted to both Girona goals particularly impressive. The burgeoning relationship between Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior...

Cristiano Ronaldo wrong to say Real Madrid are not humble - Solari

Gareth Bale finally found the net for Real Madrid, ending his goal drought and leading his team to an easy victory over Huesca on the road at Estadio El Alcoraz.

Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari has disputed Cristiano Ronaldo's claim that the club lacks humility.

Ronaldo told Gazzetta dello Sport this week that Juventus, the club he joined for €100 million in July from Real Madrid, is "more humble and more of a family than Madrid."

Asked about Ronaldo's comments, Solari said in Tuesday's news conference ahead of Madrid's Champions League home encounter against CSKA Moscow: "Humility is a virtue of the greats.

"That is why, and more so for its values,...

Karim Benzema delivers dominant display, Alvaro Odriozola shines as Real Madrid win again

Karim Benzema scored a goal and forced an own-goal in Real Madrid's win over Celta Vigo, marking a fourth successive victory for Los Blancos.

Santi Solari's fourth and final game as "interim" Real Madrid coach saw his side again nowhere near their fluid best, but battle through to a fourth consecutive win, with the 4-2 result mostly down to a tremendous centre-forward performance from Karim Benzema.

Positives

Benzema was just unstoppable tonight and easily the most decisive player on the pitch. Sergio Ramos showed he is becoming, somewhat surprisingly, a reliable penalty taker. Dani Ceballos filled in admirably in holding midfield and...

Alvaro Odriozola stakes claim to more playing time under Santi Solari as Real Madrid cruise

Craig Burley believes Arsene Wenger could help Real Madrid, while Steve Nicol contends the former Arsenal manager isn't the right fit.

Santiago Solari's first game as "temporary" Real Madrid manager brought a comfortable 4-0 victory in Wednesday's Copa del Rey round-of-32 first leg at third-tier Melilla, with goals from Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Alvaro Odriozola and Cristo Gonzalez securing passage to the next round already and providing a welcome boost for the Bernabeu outfit.

Positives

After a slow opening quarter hour, Solari's side took complete control, with young attackers Vinicius Junior and Asensio especially impressing,...

Real Madrid's young signings: hit and miss beyond Marco Asensio

Last Sunday marked exactly four years since Real Madrid last presented a big galactico signing -- the arrival of James Rodriguez for €80 million after the 2014 World Cup -- with the La Liga giants' transfer policy having since changed dramatically.

After long-term targets Neymar and Kylian Mbappe recently committed their futures to Paris Saint-Germain, friendly local media reports have been talking again about Madrid's intelligent focus on snapping up the best international young talent given...

Joining Real Madrid like going to Disneyland - Alvaro Odriozola

ESPN FC's Stewart Robson explains why Real Madrid should explore other options before making Gareth Bale the focal point of the team.
After he is unveiled as a Juventus player following his move from Real Madrid, ESPN takes a look at how Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Turin unfolded.

New Real Madrid signing Alvaro Odriozola says that the chance to join the Bernabeu outfit from Real Sociedad was impossible to turn down -- just like being offered a trip to Disneyland as a kid.

Odriozola, an unused squad member with Spain at this summer's World Cup, has joined Madrid for a fee of around €40 million after coming through the ranks at La Real and impressing over the last 18 months at his hometown club.

Some reports had claimed that Barcelona also approached the Basque youngster,...
