This was not the thriller I saw in Manchester. This was a procession.

I was at the Bernabéu, reporting from before the game, at half-time, full-time and from the press conference.

I wonder when we will next see Pep Guardiola here, at the scene of some of his finest victories. I have a theory that might interest you…

Jude Bellingham is at a pivotal moment. His own competitive nature is boiling within him. The Madrid media – and his own club – are claiming the referees are out to get him. And the red mist is never too far away.

I want to tell you about ‘morbo’ in today’s broadcast. It’s tricky to define – think of a leering interest into a game where there’s far more than meets the eye.

Because today’s ‘Derbi de la Comunitat’ will be FILLED with morbo. Villarreal head coach Marcelino García Toral has coached BOTH Villarreal and Valencia, and has been sacked by BOTH clubs for very controversial reasons.

I’m in Manchester for the Champions League tonight, but I wanted to stop by Old Trafford to remember my good friend, Denis Law, on the day of his funeral.

Denis did extraordinary things for kids in Aberdeen, giving them facilities and opportunities to live better lives. He was a truly wonderful man.

Then it’s off to the Etihad, for a really exciting matchup. Madrid can score, that’s for sure – but are they up to the defensive task of keeping Haaland at bay?

Here are my thoughts….

At close of play tomorrow night, there will still be 45 points to play for. No titles are up for grabs just yet.

But, let me tell you this now: for both teams, a win tomorrow is VITAL. As Atlético prepare a title challenge, and Real set off to Manchester, it’s a make-or-break grudge match in the capital.

Don’t get me wrong – Marco Asensio is a SUPREMELY talented footballer. Creative, visionary and with a great eye for goal, he’s an asset to any manager.

But Unai Emery isn’t just *any* manager. His scrupulous tactical needs will demand that Asensio combines that magic spark of his with an attention to pressing and tracking back too. That didn’t go so well for Marco at PSG…

Villans: listen up. Let me tell you why you should be excited – but cautious – about your new number 21. Give me YOUR thoughts in the comments!
