Real Madrid's hard work this preseason at UCLA's North Athletic Field, ahead of their International Champions Cup games against Manchester United in Santa Clara, California, Manchester City in Los Angeles and Barcelona in Miami, has its roots in coach Zinedine Zidane's early days as a player at Juventus.

James Rodriguez discusses his move away from Real Madrid and hopes with Bayern Munich.
Was James Rodriguez's loan to Bayern Munich as disappointing a transaction as it sounds for Real Madrid? In short, yes.
There are plenty of reasons for this. There's the frustrating fact that a player of his calibre failed to play as many minutes as he would have liked. The Columbia international more than compensates for his below average mobility with a gifted, almost magic left foot that allows him to pick opponents apart with pinpoint crosses. He can also score from seemingly...Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo's cool family portrait

Jesus Vallejo says he is excited to finally wear the Real Madrid shirt, two years after they originally signed him.
Summer is the season with the least competitive football available, so the average fan has to make do with related, but indeed less exciting, pieces of entertainment. Signings are obviously one of them, and while some supporters salivate expecting the arrival of a big name, even if the player in question isn't really what the squad needs, others are happy simply with a loanee coming back to his club after a good formative period.
Examples of those extremes can be easily be found in Real Madrid's...Transfer Talk: Decision time for Dani Ceballos

Craig Burley addresses Hector Bellerin's comments in regards to youth development in England and Spain. Real Betis midfielder Dani Ceballos earned the Most Valuable Player award after helping Spain finish as runners-up at the European Under-21 Championship in Poland. Now, he is one of the most sought-after playmakers in La Liga.
According to reports, Real Madrid and Barcelona are both hoping to sign the 20-year-old. Given he remains under contract with Betis until June of 2020, Ceballos' modest €15 million release clause makes him an even more attractive transfer target.
Here are five things...Real Madrid should resist temptation to go after Betis star Dani Ceballos

Tuesday, the Fourth of July, was a gloriously silly day in 2017's silly season. While Madrid newspapers claimed that Real Betis' young star, Dani Ceballos, was bound to join Real Madrid, Barcelona media had the same player on their covers, apparently dying to play for ...
