You ought to know by now, that one of the greatest legends of Real Madrid and in all of football, Paco Gento, has passed away. Among his many trophies are 12 (!) La Ligas and 6(!!!) Champions League trophies. I want you to think about that for a second; About half of our record Champions League titles were won by tams with the man playing!
Real Madrid legend and honorary president Paco Gento has died at the age of 88.

Gento is the only player in history to win six European Cups. He also won 12 league titles. A true Madrid and world football icon.
Rest in peace. pic.twitter.com/vZbuYDnLkT
Gento won the Latin Cup with Real Madrid the two times he played in it.

Lukita Confident Regarding his Extension
Luka Modrić: “There is nothing, nothing better for me than being a Real Madrid player. I'm not thinking about the renewal now. The club knows what I desire. We will surely reach the agreement soon”. ⚪️ #Modric

You love confidence when you see it too, don’t you!? Maite Oroz went badass mode when asked about Femenino’s chances against Barcelona:
We are aware that they are a great team, but we are Real Madrid. We have a very complete squad with very good players. Anything can happen.

Have a nice day, fellow Madridistas. May the Madridismo be with you all.
