- Is Michael Laudrup a Real Madrid legend?

- Vanderlei Luxemburgo’s bizarre career, his six-minute coaching debut, and his stop in Real Madrid

- Will Isco be a starter next season?

- Standout moments of individual players. What is the ‘Ramos header’ moment for other players in the squad?

- Why do Real Madrid almost never do well in the league when they win the Champions League?

- Hazard and Odegaard together — how many problems does that solve for us offensively?

- Books to read

- Real Madrid’s salary reductions compared to Barcelona

- Our top-5 Real Madrid moments ever

- Benzema’s worst performances

- And more.

Part Two (Castilla Corner with Sam Sharpe, Kristofer McCormack, Ruben Skjerping)

The usual gang answered a bunch of Twitter questions ranging from our favourite Real Madrid moment to what would Sam cook for me and Ruben for a three course meal. Also discussed whether Odegaard should return to Madrid or remain at Real Sociedad for another year.
