What is going on at Real Madrid? Dressing room fights and tension between stars before El Clasico
Monday 11 May 2026 00:00 , Jamie BraidwoodTraining ground bust-ups, allegations of fights in the dressing room, and a player in hospital requiring stitches for a cut to the head.
It’s never quiet at Real Madrid, but even by their standards, the Spanish giants and their multitude of stars are in a full-blown crisis just days before the Clasico.
A growing sense of inharmony exploded into chaos on Thursday night, following reports of a fight between teammates Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde.

Best wishes to Hansi Flick
Sunday 10 May 2026 23:30 , Chris WilsonWe must send our condolences to Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who lost his father this weekend.
"FC Barcelona and the entire Blaugrana family wish to send all our love to Hansi Flick after the passing of his father,” the Catalan club posted on X before yesterday’s game. “We share in your sorrow and our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.”
Real Madrid said: “Real Madrid CF, its president and its Board of Directors deeply regret the passing of the father of Hansi Flick, FC Barcelona coach.
“Real Madrid wishes to express its condolences and affection to his family and all his loved ones. Rest in peace.”
Who will be the next Real Madrid manager?
Sunday 10 May 2026 23:00 , Chris WilsonIt has been suggested that Jose Mourinho is the top target for Real Madrid, though the Benfica boss denied last night that he had been contacted about a second stint at the Bernabeu – yet...
“I haven’t had any contact with either the president or any of the key figures in the organisation,” Mourinho said. “I don’t speak to anyone, I haven’t had any contact with Real Madrid, and I won’t have any until the last league match against Estoril.”
Benfica are in a fascinating place, it should be said. They’ve not lost in the Primeira Liga this season but are battling for second spot, with 10 draws too many to keep pace with title-winners Porto. Braga on Monday will be a big test.
Barcelona 'have been fantastic this season'
Sunday 10 May 2026 22:30 , Chris Wilson“It's all about the fast start. You never know how it's going to play out, it's Barcelona,” said former Wimbledon striker Terry Gibson on Premier Sports at full-time.
“Will they come out and approach the game you want them to? They flew out the traps and they were electric in the opening 30 minutes. Real Madrid do fight back but Barcelona couldn't have asked for a better start and end to the game.
“Barca are on 11 straight wins now, they have been fantastic this season. I can't speak highly enough of the way they play, it's what Flick will have wanted.

Flick: 'I will never forget this day'
Sunday 10 May 2026 22:16 , Chris WilsonThere’s a brief chat with Hansi Flick on Premier Sports, and the German is understandably emotional.
“I will never forget this day. It was a tough day for me. My team was fantastic , I really love it, it’s like a family,” he said.
“It was not easy, Real is a fantastic team, but we played really good, we made goals in the right moment and we defended really well,” he added.

La Liga points record to come?
Sunday 10 May 2026 22:06 , Chris WilsonBarcelona could still equal the record number of points won in a La Liga season, which is 100.
The Blaugrana are one of two sides to earn 100 points in a single season in Spain, doing so in 2012/13, with Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid the other team (having done so the year before!)
Hansi Flick’s side currently sit on 91 points with three games to remaining.

CLOSE! A great chance for the hosts as the ball is clipped forward and de Jong beats the offside trap to get in behind the defence.
He cuts back anf picks out Lewandowski in support, and rather than pass the Polish striker fires a low effort that Courtois tips wide.

Good running initially from Cancelo but the chance goes begging as Lopez’s pass is off-target.

HALF-TIME! Barcelona 2-0 Real Madrid
Sunday 10 May 2026 21:06 , Chris WilsonSo Barcelona are just 45 minutes away from securing the La Liga title against their biggest rivals.
A superb flurry early on has put them in a great position but they can still look vulnerable at times, and Hansi Flick’s side will know it’s not wrapped up yet.
Nevertheless, they’ve looked very dangerous themselves too, and they’ll be hopeful of adding more as they look to cap off a historic night at the Camp Nou.
We’ll be back underway soon.

Sunday 10 May 2026 20:44 , Chris Wilson38 mins
CLOSE!
It’s been more stop-start over the last 10 minutes or so, but it should be 3-0!
It’s so easy for the hosts, as the through ball from Garcia finds Rashford and he has the pace to beat his marker.
He’s onside as he started in his own half and he races clear and into the box, but the angle is against him and Courtois gets a huge hand to it to divert the shot wide of the far post.

GOAL! What a goal this is too!
So inventive from the hosts, as Lopez clips a diagonal ball into the path of Olmo, who’d made the run into the box.

Marcus Rashford steps up and blasts the free-kick into the far corner, giving Courtois no chance!

What is going on at Real Madrid? Fights and tension between stars before El Clasico
A battle of international teammates?
Sunday 10 May 2026 19:40 , Harry Latham-CoyleIt remains to be seen if both of Marcus Rashford and Trent Alexander-Arnold travel with England to the World Cup this summer, but the pair are long-time international teammates and their battle could be fun this evening. You’d think Rashford will fancy his chances of getting in the channel behind the Real Madrid right-back.
What happened earlier this season?
Sunday 10 May 2026 19:30 , Harry Latham-CoyleThe reverse league fixture between these two was filled with drama: two red cards were shown after the 90-minute mark as Real Madrid emerged 2-1 winners.
Their Supercopa final meeting was pretty tasty, too, and led to the departure of Xabi Alonso.
How the table looks
Sunday 10 May 2026 19:22 , Chris WilsonBarcelona lead their rivals by 11 points going into the final games of the season, with the Blaugrana sitting top on 88 points after last week’s win against Osasuna.

1 – Barcelona - 88 pts, GD +58
2 – Real Madrid - 77 pts, GD +39
3 – Atletico Madrid - 69 pts, GD+25
Rashford to land first major honour?
Sunday 10 May 2026 19:16 , Chris WilsonOn-loan winger Marcus Rashford might have won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League title during his time at Manchester United, but the England international has a chance to win his first league title this season if he can help Barcelona win La Liga.
The 28-year-old has scored 13 goals and registered 14 assists during his time at the Camp Nou this term, though reports suggest Barcelona might not be able to afford to sign him permanently this summer.
Recent reports suggest the Blaugrana might try and negotiate another loan for Rashford next season, while others claim they simply want Man Utd to lower their asking price, which is thought to be around €30m.
Who will be the next Real Madrid manager?
Sunday 10 May 2026 19:10 , Harry Latham-CoyleIt has been suggested that Jose Mourinho is the top target for Real Madrid, though the Benfica boss denied last night that he had been contacted about a second stint at the Bernabeu – yet...

Hansi Flick insists Barcelona are focused on themselves
Sunday 10 May 2026 18:22 , Harry Latham-CoyleSpeaking on Friday, Hansi Flick insisted that Barcelona will not be preoccupied with matters in the opposition camp and must focus on their own game.

A turbulent week could end in the most miserable way possible for Real, with bitter rivals Barca needing just a point to clinch the title in La Liga with three games to spare.
The Catalan outfit are currently 11 points ahead of second-placed Real, who are lurching from crisis to crisis.

Kylian Mbappe absent again due to hamstring injury
Sunday 10 May 2026 17:30 , Harry Latham-CoyleKylian Mbappe will be missing for Real Madrid today, again, as he is not in the travelling squad. With little left to play for, perhaps it is not worth the risk to rush him back before the end of the season?
Trio hoping to impress as battle for World Cup spots heats up
Sunday 10 May 2026 17:21 , Chris WilsonThree players will have a chance to impress on the biggest stage this evening, with Jude Bellingham, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Marcus Rashford still fighting for places – and potentially even a starting berth – in the England squad for this summer’s World Cup.
While Jude Bellingham has marked himself out as a near-certain starter in midfield for the Three Lions, both Alexander-Arnold and Rashford have more work to do to be included in the squad, let alone to secure a spot in the starting XI.
England boss Thomas Tuchel seemingly does not have a lot of confidence in Real Madrid full-back Alexander-Arnold, with the German previously criticising the defensive aspect of his game. However, his hand may be forced by the injury to Tino Livramento, who could miss the rest of the season with a back problem.
Rashford could benefit from a similar situation, though more due to a general lack of competition in the left-wing position. While Anthony Gordon should also be on the plane to the USA, Rashford could benefit from the Newcastle man’s recent lack of form as the pair fight to start on the left in England’s opener against Croatia in Dallas on 17 June.

What is the Real Madrid team news?
Sunday 10 May 2026 16:02 , Jamie BraidwoodKylian Mbappe has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
