❌No Rodrygo or Bellingham, here's Real Madrid's squad list

Looking ahead to the match, the main attraction will be the farewell of the coaches. Both Imanol and Ancelotti will leave their positions, and this will be their grand farewell from their respective clubs, where they are legends.
However, what is most surprising in this Merengue list is the absence of Rodrygo. He has been getting few minutes, and now he was practically left out amid a flurry of rumors regarding his future.
On the other hand, the absence of Jude Bellingham is also surprising, especially since there was no medical report indicating any injury.

Laporta talks Lamine, Messi, Rashford, Real Madrid – ‘We were a better team than them last season'
Currently on the pre-season tour with the squad, FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta granted an interview to CNN Sports (h/t Mundo Deportivo), during which he discussed a variety of topics related to the club. One of the biggest talking points was the fanfare surrounding Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal, with Laporta lavishing great praise on the youngster. However, when asked about the comparisons between the 18-year-old La Masia gem and Barcelona great Lionel Messi, the club president opted not to fuel them any further. 'Lamine Yamal is Lamine Yamal, Leo Messi was Leo Messi,' Laporta said. 'Leo has been the best player in the world, and Lamine, I think, in his position right now, is the best player in the world,' he emphasised. Laporta praised the youngster for his ability and work ethic, saying: 'In Lamine's case, there aren't many players like him because he's a genius and he's at the highest level. 'He's very professional and knows that to be the best and be at the top, he needs to be in shape, he needs to train, he needs to follow the advice of the coach and the people around him, and, basically, feel happy, feel like he's enjoying playing football.' Laporta also spoke about Barcelona's most recent summer signing, Marcus Rashford, hailing the Englishman for the desire he showed to join the club. 'We signed this player because he was deeply committed to coming to Barcelona,' said Laporta. 'He's fast, strong, committed, and once again, he did everything he could to sign for Barcelona. He lobbied his agent, spoke to the club, and at the same time, to Manchester United.' Meanwhile, addressing Barcelona's arch-rivals Real Madrid, who have made key signings and changed managers this summer, Laporta commented: 'I think we were a better team than them last season. They have great players, they signed a new coach, and we'll see, but Real Madrid will always be our rival.' Laporta spoke highly of Lamine Yamal. (Photo by) During the interview, Laporta raised the possibility of Barcelona playing an official La Liga match in the USA next season, stating that they are open to the idea. 'We are delighted to go to the United States every year because we feel loved, we feel respected as a club, we have a lot of fans there,' he said. 'For Barcelona, it will be a great honour to participate in this event, which will be an official La Liga match, but at the same time, it will be a big event in the United States.' Continuing, he stated: 'We are a club that belongs to La Liga and we are responsible because we want to market the competition as best as possible. I reiterate, I am open and (Barcelona) is at La Liga's disposal.' Laporta concluded by criticising the increasingly congested football calendar, as he said: 'The football calendar is too tight. We need to find a solution and reduce the number of matches. 'As a club, we have to have more players than usual (to play more matches), and that means we have to invest more, and that means we have to do our best to have a more competitive squad. 'Of course, they're talented players, but they're also human beings, and there are limits. They need time to rest and enjoy themselves, and I think that's something to keep in mind.'

Wrexham signs former England defender Conor Coady from Leicester
Associated Press WREXHAM, Wales (AP) — Wrexham signed defender Conor Coady from Leicester as it reshapes its squad to cope with promotion to the second-tier Championship. Coady brings 198 games' worth of Premier League experience and 10 appearances for the English national team. He was part of England's squad at the last World Cup in 2022 but didn't play. 'I'm over the moon. It's a special day, I'll be honest," the 32-year-old defender said in a club statement. 'We've all seen what the club has done over the past few years and for me to join is really special and I can't wait to meet the boys and get started.' Coady arrives for an undisclosed fee from Leicester, one of Wrexham's opponents in the Championship in the upcoming season. He signed a two-year contract with an option for a further year. The club made internationally famous by its celebrity owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and the 'Welcome to Wrexham" documentary series is doing things differently after returning to the second tier for the first time since the 1980s. As well as staging a preseason tour of Australia and New Zealand, Wrexham has parted company with the experienced Paul Mullin and Steven Fletcher, and signed players like United States international Damion Downs. Wrexham's Championship campaign begins at Southampton on Aug. 9. ___ AP soccer:
