The Baby Rejoins The Team & Clasico Prep Begins

The team began our version of Hell Week – preparing for El Clasico. Ugh. I am not ready. But at least they will be.

The team had their final training session today before heading off to Valencia. All 23 players and Marcos Llorente of Castilla were involved.

Di Maria’s House Attacked

Super scary times for Angel, Jorgelina & little Mia. They were at home having dinner on Saturday after Manchester United’s match vs. Leicester City when thieves tried to force their way into the house by smashing the patio doors in with scaffolding poles. Luckily, an alarm went off and the thieves fled empty handed. United’s security staff took the family to a hotel while the police are investigating and they’ve assigned them a guard detail. As you can imagine, they’re quite shaken up but thankfully everyone is safe.

Copa Del Bebe, Part 3 & A Very Joyous First Birthday

A very happy birthday to Mia Di Maria who came into this world several months early one year ago today. As many of you may remember, she was super premature and there was complications with the birth. It was a very scary time for Angel & Jorgelina.

Besitos!

I know it’s been ages since we had a Bits & Bobs post, but I thought you’d like to see some of Real Madrid’s bebes sharing the love.  Tiny Mia Di Maria got smoochies from her pals Enzo Vieira and Zoe Lopez.  Proud mami Jorgelina shared the pictures. So sweet! They should just build a nursery in the first team residence since we have so many babies and more on the way!

Training & Valentines

Someone’s gonna get sued by Bale.

I’m so pissed! I thought the match was tomorrow so I scheduled something for Sunday morning that I now can’t get out of. DAMN IT! I’m going to miss the first half. Sigh. So anyhow the team trained again today for the dang match on Sunday. ::pouts::

A Xabi Break, Aliens, Hello Santi Claus! & More

It’s nice to finally be home from work! Since I kinda blew it earlier and tomorrow’s Drool published inadvertently (since deleted), I’d like to make it up to you by giving you a little Xabi break. Just sit there and contemplate his perfection for a bit before heading into the rest of the post. (Photo via SocialRMadrid)

Thursday Bits & Bobs

Lordy, I have so many bits & bobs, I don’t even have a clue where to start. Ugh. How’s about I just begin with our boys? Here’s Iker (or rather Geeker from the looks of it) with a fan. Our intrepid capi also posted a  shot of his good friend Roy Batty from Blade Runner who was enjoying some LA poolside tanning. 

He’s Gone, Oh I, Oh I, I Better Learn How To Face It And More

The Double As, as they were meant to be. Ah, it fills me with such sadness! Alvaro posted this with the caption (excuse the approximate translation: “Do not strive to make your presence noticed but your absence felt. Yours is going to be felt a lot. I wish all the best to the 5! See you soon, brother!” and then he added ” In bocca al lupo!!” which is Italian for ‘best of luck‘ WAH!

Wednesday Training, Lots of Goodies & Leo Torres Falls On His Bum Some More

Spring has sprung and our sexy croissant is throwing flirtatious looks around (and for once, they’re not into his own camera phone).
