A lot is going on in the football world, but when it comes to Real Madrid news, the well is sort of dry for today.

Today/night‘s schedule

Here’s the schedule for this day of (European) qualifiers, so you can keep in mind what you could watch in your free time. I’m guessing most of you would want to watch Belgium and/or your home country.

• Georgia - Kosovo
• Sweden - Spain
• Italy - Bulgaria
• Lithuania - Northern Ireland
• Czech Republic - Belarus
• Estonia - Belgium
• Andorra - San Marino
• Hungary - England
• Poland - Albania
• Iceland - Romania
• Lichtenstein - Germany
• N. Macedonia - Armenia

There are a couple of Madrid players involved in the above;

For starters, Courtois and perhaps Hazard are included in the Belgian squad. They will therefore be facing Estonia. Buuut that’s not all; Teenage modfield prodigy Eduardo Camavinga - who just signed for Los Blancos - will be taking on the U21 Faroe team, as part of the U21 France NT. The last game is for the 2023 European Championship.

Let us know what you think of the matches, perhaps even in real time if you feel like having a discussion. May the Madridismo be with ya.

Love,

Nero
