Y Nada Mas | A Real Madrid Podcast

Real Madrid’s hopes of defending their La Liga title are high, but it is a “do or die” fixture versus Inter Milan this week that will determine if they will make it out of the UCL group stage.

Real Madrid defeated SD Huesca 4-1 this weekend with goals coming from Eden Hazard, Fede Valverde, and a brace by Karim Benzema. The goals will undoubtedly give Los Blancos a much-needed boost in confidence considering they have been struggling to score as of late.

Eden Hazard’s mid-range rocket was a welcome sight for many Madridistas. This was the Belgian’s first start since returning from injury and he did not disappoint.

Fede Valverde also continues his stellar run of form and bagged both a goal and an assist.

Karim Benzema, who is seemingly Real Madrid’s only in form striker, scored a brace and now has 3 goals in 2 games.

However, while Real Madrid’s La Liga form has been on the up since their loss against Cádiz, Los Blancos had to claw their way back from 2-0 versus Borussia Mönchengladbach in order to walk away with a 2-2 draw in their midweek UCL fixture.

This 2-2 draw against Borussia MG, while admirable, leaves Los Blancos dead last in their UEFA Champions League group. Their upcoming game versus Italy’s Inter Milan is a “do or die” fixture that is likely to determine whether or not Real Madrid has any chance of making it to the competition’s knock-out stages.

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss the games versus both Borussia Monchengladbach and SD Huesca, as well as the controversy surrounding the comments Karim Benzema made about Vinicius Jr.

It has been a whirlwind of a week for Real Madrid, Madridistas, and Anti-Madridistas alike.

El Clásico is one of the biggest football matches in the world. Regardless of who the players are and regardless of the form each team is in, or even their current financial state (Barcelona), it is still a game that attracts millions of viewers.

The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is historic. While many of the players and fans these days see the rivalry as being in sport only, within Spain it is still at times fiercely sociopolitical.

This historical animosity combined with the fact that both teams have been immensely successful in world football makes it one of the world’s most anticipated matches.

With Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over their bitter rivals this weekend, Los Blancos have now won the last 4 Clásicos. They have also now won a grand total of 99 Clásicos to Barcelona’s 96.

Both teams are in a restructuring process now that the Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo era is over, however it is the team from the Spanish capital that is in a better position both financially and sportively.

While many in the world may be sad to see FC Barcelona in such a state, for Madridistas...Barcelona woes = Madrid smiles.

In this episode of the podcast we discuss the win over Barcelona and that while it is great to have won against our bitter rival, they are not currently our biggest foes in La Liga. This win was important but the fight for the title will be against the likes of Atlético Madrid, Sevilla, and other La Liga such as Real Sociedad that are currently playing well and will make Real Madrid’s title chase difficult.

So this is it. Not only did this weekend mark the beginning of the 2020-2021 season of La Liga but it also marks the official beginning to our podcast, Y Nada Mas. In this episode, we discuss who we are, why we started the podcast, and dive into what we are looking forward to in the 2020-2021 season. In addition, we give a quick recap of all the action from this past weekend’s games.

Every Madridista, as well as our rivals, were waiting to see how last season’s La Liga champions would perform against an always difficult Real Sociedad in San Sebastian. The game ended goalless and with much to discuss. But it’s too soon to panic.

In our second episode of Y Nada Mas | A Real Madrid podcast we discuss Zidane’s surprising start with a 4-2-3-1 formation, player performances, our striker situation, and more.

Real Madrid have had their fair share of magical nights in European football. The 13-time European Champions feel at home in the Champions League. It's almost as if they feel it's their duty to win it. Every player wearing the royal white jersey seems to somehow be able to conjure up something extra, something intangible, something...MAGIC. They run faster, they fight harder, and simply play as if the likes of Di Stefano, Puskas, and Gento are pushing them along.

But even with a long list of past magical European nights...Real Madrid's "remontada" victory over PSG at the Santiago Bernabeu was just as special. A 17-minute hat-trick from Karim Benzema helped Real Madrid overcome a 0-2 deficit and sent PSG crashing out of the Champions League.

The reality is that PSG even with its billionaire owners and multi-million dollar star-studded lineup was and is not a team. And last night they crashed face-first into a legendary institution whose players understand how important it is to play as a team and represent their colors. PSG was a group of individuals who are very talented at playing football...but are not a TEAM.

They lost against a young and hungry squad that had two LEADERS in Karim Benzema and Luka Modrić pulling the strings. They never gave up, the fans never lost faith, and Real Madrid once again proved why they are 13-time European champions.

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss what was yet another epic win in Real Madrid's history. Later this week we look to link up with YNM contributors Trambak B and Helal Uddin to dive even deeper into this match and continue to celebrate what was yet another epic win for Los Blancos.
