Madrid-players on international duty, and slow news days

There are multiple madridistas on international duty, but few featured yesterday (October 7). Varane played for 45 minutes when France thumped Ukraine, while Ramos played a small part in Spains 0-0 draw with Portugal. Modric was an unsued sub when Croatia beat Switzerland 2-1. These were only friendlies though, and you can expect to see more players feature in the competitive games in the coming days.

Don’t believe everything you read

Most of you most likely read the reports yesterday that tried to paint a picture of Ramos and Cristiano having some sort of “bad” relationship. Yeah. Well.
