Prep For Copa Begins & Welcome Brahim Díaz!

Who is that masked Blanco?!

Another disappointing result yesterday and not how we wanted to start the new year, but best not to dwell. Onward…

Prepping For El Clasico & Boss Babies

I’ve been focusing on letter writing to get out the vote for the midterm elections so that’s definitely cut down on my Real Madrid time. I did get to watch the Champions League match (while still writing) but it’s been hit or miss otherwise for the past few weeks.  But El Clasico is upon us and I’ve just posted my final bunch of letters so I’m taking a break from freaking out about the fuckery in my country to focus on freaking out about El Clasico. Ugh.

Prep For Sevilla & Some Super Visitors

Man, that was a testy little Clasico, wasn’t it? But you can’t say that it wasn’t riveting.  I admit to getting pretty verklempt when Iniesta went off. I stood and applauded. Team loyalties aside, if you love football, you love Iniesta. How could you not? I will miss him. What a beautiful player. I’ll be sad to not see him regularly on my tv screen.

Friday Training & More

I’m not even sure what to say about the Champions League match. We seem so off balance – something integral is missing and I don’t know what it is. I just hope it sorts itself out quickly.

Thursday Session & More

After a day off, the team began their preparations for Sunday’s match vs. Eibar.

Preparation Begins For Deportivo

The team returned to training today in preparation for the first match of the season away at Deportivo.

Prepping For Sevilla (Again) & Next Up In The CDR

How about that game the other day? We sure don’t do anything easy do we? Sigh.
