Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane ‘ruined’ Gareth Bale during his time in Spain, as per Peter Crouch. The Welshman had a nightmare spell in the Spanish capital during his time under Zidane, falling out of favour at the club.

He’s deputized impressively for his defensive teammates, but with his contract set to come to an end soon, he could be set to leave the club.
The Red Devils are on the lookout for some competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back. The Englishman has started all but two of their games so far and with Diogo Dalot’s long-term future at the club still in doubt, United are considering both Vazquez and Keiran Trippier as possible alternatives. The Real Madrid man could be available for a fee of €15m.

He picked up a hamstring injury while on international duty against Germany.
Elsewhere, Martin Odegaard has picked up an injury and could be set to miss the UCL game. Dani Carvajal is in line for a return to the side, which could be another major boost to Real Madrid’s cause.
