“Class Picture Day” 2018 & More

Los Blancos had their annual team picture taken today or as I call it “Class Picture Day” because everyone gets all spiffy and is on their best behavior just like you do when you’re in school.

The Daily Drool: Marcos Llorente

They sure grow up quick don’t they? Our very own Marcos Llorente is our Drool for the day of the Champions League final. Photographer Bernardo Doral took some amazing pictures of Marcos. Here are a couple more (1, 2)  The Madrid-born winger joined Castilla in 2014, making his first team debut in 2015. His family is Real Madrid to the core. His father Paco and great uncle Francisco Gento were wingers and his grandfather Ramón Grosso was a forward for the Merengues. That’s some Blanco blood there for sure! He has represented Spain at the U19 and U21 levels.

Prep Begins For Dortmund & Yet Another Contract Extension

After yesterday’s victory (due to a brace by The Onion), the team got right back to work in preparation for meeting Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Lifting The Santiago Bernabeu Trophy

Real Madrid lifted their 11th consecutive Santiago Bernabeu trophy (and 26th overall) but Stade De Reims sure didn’t make it easy!

Go Time For Los Blancos!

It’s just a few hours to kick off! I’m about to head over to the pub and hang our Real Madrid flags and get our tables ready for the gang to show up. Pre-match in Milan, some of our legends gathered together with the fans.

2 Days Till Almeria & Ol’ Big Ears Heads To Berlin

Happy Birthday Gento!

One of our great legends, Gento, turns 81 today. He’s the only player to have won 6(!!!!!!) European Cups. He began his career with Racing Santander staying for one season (1952-1953). He joined Real Madrid the next season where he played from 1953-1971 until his retirement. He also played for Spain and Spain B. After  his playing career, he went on to coach.
