El Clasico In The US: Miami Legends Cup

With all the World Cup uproar, I completely forgot to post this. El Clasico in the US -yep, you heard that right. The Real Madrid Legends are playing the Barcelona Legends. This is going to be a fun match and a chance to see some of the greats from both sides. Of course, they had to put it on a freaking Thursday night right after I get back from England so I can’t get there. Boooo! Anyhow, check out the confirmed players thus far. My head’s kinda exploding.

The Fabulous 5

Ah, all the feels these pictures bring up! Five of our greatest players, Di Stéfano, Raúl, Gento, Hierro and Amancio, banded together to wish the boys good luck tomorrow. I see Amancio was a fashion inspiration for The Ramos. Those red trousers are straight up Sergio.
