I think Real end up (in the next 2 years or so) with either

Josko Gvardiol (if Pep fucks off and/or Citeh get hammered and relegated)   
or

Alessandro Bastoni  

I think, besides Mbappe, they get (this summer) Davies for LB

and eventually end up with one of

Trent Alexander-Arnold 
Achraf Hakimi     
Reece James    (if he gets over his injury woes and if we continue to fail)

for RB

and I can see them making a play for Håland down the road

Mbappe and Davies are pretty much done deals. They are heavy linked with Leny Yoro for this summer so they take young French CB like they did with Varane. He's gonna be there with Rudiger, Militao and Alaba. Nothing more needed there. That team with those 3 already have no weak links besides RB. So they should take one of your list. I know you said Mbappe hates playing CF but I'm sure he's gonna interchange with Vini and Rodrygo. Plus Endrick is coming soon so yeah, new domination extremely likely.

The lines showed that Rüdigers toe was playing all of them onside. It was a legitimate goal but even if Bayern make it to extra time, real wins it there. They were all over them and Bayern had made the weirdest subs ever to weaken themselves further. That’s the shit abt these calls. Everyone talks about them instead of te game itself 

Looks comfortably off from the still picture they provided.

It was n't Tuchel's fault.
Noier-Onana lost the match for Bayern.

There are reports Madrid are sending scouts to watch Florian Wirtz regularly

Their succession planning is great. But once Modric and Kroos go, I can see them having trouble even with all the talent they are going to hoard.

Hats off to Ancelotti.. Many people said he was over his time after Chelsea already. 5 years he had spent at Bayern, Napoli and Everton, doing ok but not great, many people would send him to retirement.

Everyone lost their shit when Pep finally won a CL after like 10 years, while Carlo quietly about to pick up his 5th.

A Spanish side benefit from dodgy decision, imagine my shock

Indeed. It is rare for a man to change his ways and career trajectory at that age. I was disappointed when Roman sacked him. Thought we did ok in 2010/11 given the terrible injury crisis.
After Everton & Napoli I really thought it was over for him at the top level. I am not sure he could have turned it around at any club other than Madrid tho.

It was really different times back then. Getting sacked after finishing 2nd in the Premier League and reach CL top 8, seems ridiculous. On the other hand competition in the PL was very different.. Liverpool and Spurs were low, City was just getting started(Agüero joined after that summer), so second place was pretty much the worst we can got. Now it's a dream for us.

To be fair, what was he doing at Everton in the first place?    Even at Napoli, they change managers every 18 months or so.  

For Ancelotti, I'll always see him as the AC Milan Don, then he had his vacations in England and Germany and then eventually became the legend at Madrid.
