Who Wore The Number 10 Jersey At Real Madrid Before?
This special rank includes notable players like Mesut Ozil, Luis Figo, Clarence Seedorf, Ferenc Puskas, and others who have carried the weight and responsibility of this number. Modric had his final appearance for Los Blancos following the conclusion of the Club World Cup.
Mbappe, despite his impressive goal-scoring form, has faced criticism for his lack of success as the premier attacker. After his move from Paris to Madrid, PSG achieved their first UEFA Champions League title and reached the Club World Cup final despite Mbappe's absence. Meanwhile, Mbappe scored 31 goals to become La Liga's top scorer but was unable to prevent Madrid from having a trophyless season. Real Madrid's 2024/25 campaign ended without any silverware after a 4-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Club World Cup semi-finals.
Turning his focus to national duties, Mbappe scored his 50th goal for France during their 2-0 victory over Germany in Stuttgart. Germany had several opportunities to take the lead, with their best chance coming from highly-rated youngster Florian Wirtz, whose shot hit the post. However, it was France who broke the deadlock, with Mbappe scoring just before half-time to give his team the advantage.
This goal brings Mbappe within reach of Thierry Henry, with the Real Madrid star now just one goal behind the French legend in the country's all-time scoring chart. In the closing stages of the match, Mbappe provided an assist to Michael Olise, who came off the bench to secure the win for France.

Caleta-Car becomes Real Sociedad's first signing of summer
Madrid, Aug 2 (UNI) Real Sociedad has made its first signing ahead of the new La Liga season with the arrival of Croatian defender Duje Caleta-Car. The 28-year-old arrives in San Sebastian on a season's loan from Olympique Lyon, with Real Sociedad having the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season. Caleta-Car will help cover for the loss of Moroccan international Nayef Aguerd, who returned to West Ham after his loan deal expired at the end of last season. Apart from returning loanees, such as Umar Sadiq and Jon Karrikaburu, Caleta-Car is the first player to arrive at Real Sociedad after a summer which also saw coach Imanol Alguacil leave the club after six and a half seasons in charge, while Spain international midfielder Martin Zubimendi joined Arsenal in a big-money transfer. Former B-team coach Sergio Francisco was named as Imanol's successor before the end of last season, while the club is still looking to sign a midfielder and a forward before starting the new La Liga season away to Valencia on August 16.

Murali Sreeshankar Wins Long Jump Title In Kazakhstan
Star long jumper Murali Sreeshankar clinched his third straight title after coming back from a long injury lay-off as he won the event at the Qosanov Memorial Athletics Meet in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on Saturday. The 26-year-old Indian produced a winning leap of 7.94m on his opening attempt to secure the top spot at the World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze label (category C) meet. His other efforts were 7.73m, 7.58m, 7.57m, 7.80m and 7.79m. He has a personal best of 8.41m. This was Sreeshankar's third competition since returning from a knee injury, which he suffered in April last year.

Sreeshankar won the Indian Open in Pune with a jump of 8.05m jump in his first comeback competition and followed it up with a 7.75m effort to top the podium at the Meeting Maia Cidade do Desporto in Portugal. Before injury, Sreeshankar's last international appearance was a silver-medal finish at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China in 2023. He is yet to qualify for the Tokyo World Championships in September, for which the men's long jump qualification standard is 8.27m.
