However, which is true, is that earlier on, so before the MRI, a few weeks before that, when he complained the first time about pain in his knee, it's true that they looked at the wrong knee and they kept telling him, it's fine, it's okay, it's not serious, you can keep playing.
So he kept playing through the pain, which clearly didn't help his left knee when they'd been looking for most of it at the right knee.
I think that's why he said...
Not so much in this pretty much press conference that he had yesterday, but on Monday when he had a public appearance for a new sponsor that he's working with now.
And he explained that he was very angry at something, didn't want to really say what it was, talked about diagnosis that came late to him, too late for the injury that he had.
And that's now, it's much clearer of what it was.
But then as he explained as well, because there was talks about a lot of tension between him and the medical staff at Real Madrid, that he didn't want to be
looked after by them anymore he also explained that when he went to Paris to do his rehab then they had a lot of people from that medical staff to come with him to accompany him so maybe he was blown out a bit of proportions and he started with the wrong information but in the end the fact is still that at some point they looked at his knee and and they were all over the place as a medical staff I have a I mean I have a question
I mean, we've known for a while now that whether he waits and runs down his contract, whether he tries to leave this summer, especially if Pep Guardiola leaves, which I've said many times on the show, I really believe Guardiola won't be at City next season.
But we knew he was going to go to Real Madrid.
He only spent a year at Atletico anyway.
It's not like if he was a club legend like, I don't know, Antoine Griezmann, for example, and then he decided to go there.
And it's not even direct from one Madrid club to the other either.
So I think we all know he will end up at Real Madrid.
Either this summer or the following summer as a free agent.
It's impossible, Dan, really.
I haven't had it confirmed, to be fair.
