After a lackluster performance versus Rayo Vallecano over the weekend that resulted in a dull 0-0 draw, Los Blancos showed up versus Portugal's SC Braga in their UCL tie and not only scored 3 great goals but also looked good doing it. With this latest win, Real Madrid has secured their ticked to the knockout stage so on we go to the Round of 16.

Carlo Ancelotti made quite a few changes to the Starting XI that had faced Rayo at the Bernabeu over the weekend. Brahim Diaz stepped in for Jude Bellingham, Lucas Vasquez slotted into right back in place of Dani Carvajal, and Rodrygo was back in the attack in place of Joselu.

Brahim opened up the scoring, Vinicius made it 2-0 with a great strike, and finally, Rodrygo scored a much-needed goal that was not only a beauty but will surely also boost his confidence again in front of goal. Both Vini and Rodrygo, who have not been at their best in La Liga, looked solid in attack and seemed to once again find the swagger that made them a nightmare for opposing defenders.

In this episode, we discuss Real Madrid's performance versus Rayo, their subsequent improvement versus Braga, and we also discuss Brahim Diaz, Ancelotti's coaching choices, and why I have grown somewhat tired of Vini Jr.'s occasional but justified whining in La Liga. VAMOS!

At this point in the 2023-24 season, if you overhear football fans talking about an amazing Real Madrid player doing amazing things, scoring last-minute goals, and hoisting the team on his back to pull them over the finish line...you would probably know that the player they are speaking about is Jude Bellingham. At 20 years old, he is, without a doubt a Real Madrid legend in the making.

Pundits and journalists worldwide, whether they are sitting behind a laptop in Kolkata, a newsdesk in London, or a TV studio in Connecticut, have already pretty much agreed that the words and the adjectives used to describe what Jude Bellingham has done so far in his first season at Real Madrid are starting to run out.

He hasn't just defied expectations, he has grabbed them, slapped them around a bit, and confidently stared them down while saying, "Is that all you got?".

He was already making jaws drop and shutting up rival fans before this weekend's El Clásico. But one right-footed rocket from outside Barcelona's box to score the equalizing goal will now make him part of highlight reels for years to come and an indelible part of Real Madrid's history.

And the best part about his performance against Barcelona this past Saturday was that it wasn't even his best game. But like other world-class players that have come before him at this historic club, one moment and a sliver of space is all they need to turn a game on its head.

In this episode, we discuss Real Madrid's win over Barcelona in El Clásico and we of course talk about the one man that made all the difference. "Hey, Jude!"

Once again, the time has come for two of the world's biggest football rivals to face off against one another. Real Madrid, who are coming off a draw against Sevilla in the Sanchez Pizjuan and a UCL Group Stage victory over Braga in Portugal, will now prepare to battle their bitter rivals from Northeastern Spain. Yes. That's right. Next up, El Clásico.

The Blaugrana come into this match missing key players, looking a bit unconvincing but fired up and invigorated by their youth prospects who have carried them across the finish line when they needed the win.

El Clásico, it has been said, is a game where recent form means little. Both teams come into the match wanting to deliver a knockout blow. Both teams want to win. And both fanbases want blood, figuratively of course.

In this episode of the Y Nada Mas podcast, we discuss Real Madrid's recent games against Sevilla and Braga before diving into what we can expect from El Clásico such as desired lineups, Barcelona's current form, and much more. Give it a listen!
