What Luis Enrique did with Ousmane Dembélé against FC Bayern Munich is the perfect example of a coach who has the full trust of his players and president. Substituting Dembélé in the 65th minute was something many people could have criticized and called a gamble, but nobody questioned it because the squad believes in him and the club stands firmly behind him.

The situation at Real Madrid CF feels completely different. In my opinion, the biggest problem is not Vinicius, Mbappé, or Tchouaméni. The real issue is that Florentino Pérez does not create proper boundaries between the coach and the players. A manager should have authority over the dressing room, but at Madrid it often feels like the players have too much influence.

If the club truly believes in a coach, then they should fully support his ideas and methods instead of undermining him. Players like Vinicius, Mbappé, or Bellingham should not be dictating tactics or influencing how the coach manages the team. A coach is hired to bring the best out of the players, not the other way around.

Xabi Alonso is a very good coach, but it seems some players were uncomfortable with his strict style, tactical demands, and training methods. That only gives the impression that certain players want to be pampered instead of adapting to discipline and structure.

There are also too many reports of dressing room problems: players clashing with each other, leaks coming from inside the squad, and visible tension within the club. Since the departures of leaders like Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić, Madrid no longer seems to have that strong personality in the dressing room to keep everyone united and focused.

Right now, too many egos need to be managed. Madrid need a proper rebuild, and more importantly, they need to give whichever coach they appoint complete authority and assurance to do whatever is necessary to return the club to its standards.

Liverpool vs Chelsea, early kick off. Considering Chelsea’s form in the league has been poor, it’s not like Liverpool have been too convincing either. A lot of people will be writing Chelsea off today, but Chelsea could shock them. Chelsea did it last season when they needed to qualify for the Champions League.

Chelsea have to go all out for the three points if they truly want to secure a European competition spot.

My prediction: Liverpool 1 to 2 Chelsea.

Antoine Griezmann will finish his Atlético Madrid career without winning a UCL, La Liga, or Copa del Rey trophy ❌

When he left for Barcelona between 2019 and 2022, Atlético won La Liga in 2021 💔

He’s now off to Orlando City ✈️

He’s been unlucky, but he still has a Europa League and a World Cup in his cabinet.

Have a great time in MLS.

Saw a Manchester United fan who was genuinely happy about Arsenal’s win against Atletico last night.

Even though Arsenal haven’t won it yet, this is what success does. It attracts enemies, friends, and critics.

Everyone has been silent since yesterday. If Arsenal had lost the game, it would have been a dream come true for many pundits.

In all you do, don’t be a loser.

Road to Budapest!!!

People who think Arteta is starting Gyökeres because he has no other options are delusional. He could have rotated him today, just as he did with Saka and Trossard, or used Merino or Jesus at CF.

He starts Gyökeres because he understands the security he gives the team when he’s on the pitch.

The only thing that can stop Arsenal from winning the league is Arsenal themselves. They just need to keep their heads high and truly believe they are better than Manchester City. City are hunting because the record is already there, but they do not have the quality depth that Arsenal possess.

I told many Arsenal fans not to let the media get into their heads. Manchester City are not invincible or immortal. They dominated from 2017 to 2024, and that was a remarkable achievement. Right now, City are just applying pressure because they believe Arsenal might bow under it. If Liverpool were leading the league, City would not even be this intense. Yet somehow, they still see Arsenal as the team from 2015 to 2022.

Arsenal will drop points, yes, but Manchester City will drop more. I do not see them as a real threat. They are simply reminding us not to get comfortable or think the title is already theirs. This league belongs to Arsenal.
