GAME DAY
It is time my fellow Madridistas. Today, we fight against the 5th power of our dangerously prepared league. We must bring them down at all costs. We are now 3rd in current standings, a win will put us back in 2nd.
VAR (Valverde And Rodrygo) Not that other stuff...
Valverde & Rodrygo have been included in the squad lists vs Real Sociedad, shortly after their return from injury.

Granada are in the RO16 in Europa League, after successfully eliminating Napoli (3-2 on Aggregate). Our own Jesus Vallejo was subbed in the match at the 83rd minute. Granada has had a grueling schedule, they’ve racked up injuries as a result. But Vallejo has been able to double the amount of games he’s played (24) since last season (14).
