Football Update

Hansi Flick: 🎙️“Joan is our number one goalkeeper, which is why he’s playing ahead of anyone else.

As for rotation, some players need rest and we’re managing that, but we all know how important this game is for us.

Racing Santander are a very good side. They play very direct football, and they do it extremely well, so we have to be careful. We also need to stay focused defensively — that’s what we must do today.

Regarding Real Madrid being knocked out of the Copa del Rey yesterday, that’s the nature of the competition. It’s always like this — these things happen. Hopefully, it won’t happen to us today.”

🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Real Madrid’s board have decided to contact the players before the Levante game and DIRECTY tell them: “Xabi Alonso is no longer here, so now YOU are to blame for everything.”

‼️Albacete are in the relegation mix in the Spanish division

2.Àlvro Arbeloa: "It's my fault. At this club it's a tragedy when you draw. Now imagine when you lose..."

Romain Saïss, Morocco 🇲🇦: "When the match went to penalties, everyone was confident that Yassine Bono would bring the victory!!!!"

Absolutely embarrassing.
