I thought it was harsh for you to involve Nathan in this final preview, you know, because I think he was, until this morning, still crying about what happened to the Super Eagles.

Yeah, I agree with Ali.

I think Real Madrid are a unique club, really, when you think about it.

And I understand this, there's no player above the club, right?

But if there's one club where player power is at the strongest, it's this one.

And again, we go back to this, but not just Xabi Alonso.

For years and years, like Rafael Benitez was not a bad coach.

Players didn't like him, six months out.

Xabi Alonso...

We don't like you, too many video analysis, too much this, too much rigidity.

Out.

It's just as simple as that.

And they are the biggest club in the world.

They're the most successful.

So if you're Florentino Perez and you've been here before and you've always managed to go back to winning ways and win again, why would you change?

You don't need to.

So I think they're going to go again.

And he's the most powerful president in club football.

And his players are the ones with the most power too.

And that's the way it is.
