Ex-Barcelona Player Jofre Mateu Feels Real Madrid Can Still Rely On Luka Modric, Toni Kroos
Croatian wizard Luka Modric and German maestro Toni Kroos have been tremendous servants for Real Madrid over the years. With Modric and Kroos in the heart of Real Madrid's midfield, Los Blancos have won three La Liga titles and four UEFA Champions League titles, three of which were won consecutively from 2016 to 2018. However, Modric (37) and Kroos (33) aren't getting any younger, and there has been a clear dip in their form over the last few seasons.
Benzema 'Hits The Switch' With Madrid Raring For Chelsea Clash
When Karim Benzema struck a magnificent hat-trick against Barcelona last week in the Copa del Rey, it served a dual purpose. The striker knocked Real Madrid's bitter rivals out of the Spanish Cup at Camp Nou, and, with the world watching on, issued a powerful statement of intent as the season reaches its business end. Los Blancos welcome Chelsea on Wednesday to the Santiago Bernabeu in a first leg Champions League quarter-final clash, and the Blues will be on red alert trying to stop the irrepressible Benzema.

Now Tuchel is working overtime to come up with a plan to beat Guardiola again.
Tame Barca Draw With Girona, Fail To Capitalise On Madrid Stumble
Title-chasing Barcelona were held to a 0-0 draw by Girona at Camp Nou on Monday, extending their lead on Real Madrid at the top of La Liga by one point, now sitting 13 clear with 10 games remaining. Still smarting from their Clasico humiliation by Madrid last week in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona were far from their best in a Catalan derby clash, despite the motivation of seeing the champions lose on Saturday against Villarreal. Girona, mid-table, were solid and forced Xavi Hernandez's side to drop points at home in La Liga for only the third time this season.

The New York Red Bulls and their forward Dante Vanzeir apologized on Monday after the Belgian made a racist remark during a Major League Soccer match against the San Jose Earthquakes. Play was held up for about 15 minutes as San Jose's players debated whether to carry on with Saturday's game before deciding to do so. The match ended 1-1 at Red Bull Arena. San Jose striker Jeremy Ebobisse said that a New York player used a racist epithet early in the second half, without naming the player.
