La Liga sides must re-strategize ahead of next season’s UCL

The 2020/21 UEFA Champions League has reached its quarterfinal stage and the going can only get tough for the sides that have made it thus far in the competition. However, one country, whose clubs have been mainstays in this stage of the competition saw the majority of their clubs fall short this season and it may just be a one-off, hopefully so. La Liga clubs have been dominant in the UCL in the past decade but the ongoing season has seen them flatter to deceive, with just one club making it past the round of 16 stage. Real Madrid will be the only club representing Spain any further in the competition and if the La Liga is to have any hopes of boasting of their clubs' triumph in the competition, then all hope lies on Los Blancos.

Real Madrid ready to listen to offers for Jovic

Real Madrid are ready to listen to offers for Luka Jovic in the upcoming transfer window with the striker set to leave the club based on reports in Spain. The Serbia international moved to the Bernabeu from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer in a deal worth €60million after an impressive season in the Bundesliga. However, he has struggled to establish himself as a regular under Frenchman Zinedine Zidane. The Serbian has played just 770 minutes thus far and has made 16 appearances for Los Blancos in La Liga. According to a report by Marca on Wednesday, Real Madrid have put Jovic up for sale. The Serbian has scored just 2 goals for the La Liga giants and this is very poor in comparison to his tally of 27 for Eintracht Frankfurt last season. READ: The nerves were on as Chelsea moved ...

We have an eventful La Liga title race in our hands

The Spanish La Liga has been eventful thus far in the ongoing 2019/20 season and has produced a competitive title race where the contenders are at the necks of each other for the trophy. This hasn't been the case for a while now and is a welcome development. Although the title race is unsurprisingly between the two top dogs in Spanish club football, namely Real Madrid and Barcelona, the race is getting fiercer, even after the game's return from lockdown. The two sides are showing stuff of champions and are grinding out the needed results even when their performances have not been top-notch. Quique Setien's Barcelona currently lead La Liga with 3 points after grinding out a 1 nil result against Athletic Bilbao at the Nou Camp on Tuesday. However, Real Madrid have a game in hand aga...

Manchester United have been handed a chance to sign Colombia international James Rodriguez from Real Madrid in a cut-price deal according to a report by The Sun.

James Rodriguez has made just 4 La Liga starts under Zinedine Zidane this season after his return from a two-year loan spell at Bayern Munich last summer.

AC Milan interested in signing Luka Jovic

Reports suggest that AC Milan is interested in securing a deal for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic. The Serie A outfit need an offensive player and have identified the Serbian as a target. Luka Jovic's Real Madrid career hasn't gone off yet as expected with the 22-year-old seeing limited minutes and is behind Karim Benzema in the pecking order. Meanwhile, the striker has been the subject of weird news reports in recent times. He reportedly broke his heel after falling off a wall in Belgrade and this resulted in him being diagnosed with an extra-articular fracture in the calcaneus bone of his right foot. “He’s somewhat depressed and afraid,” Jovic’s father said after the incident which affected the player mentally.

Roberto Martinez says Hazard has recovered from surgery

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez has disclosed that Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard has recovered well from ankle surgery. He made this known on Sunday but didn't point out the time frame for his return to action. Hazard underwent the operation in Dallas last month after fracturing his ankle.
