Haaland

One of the many things for which I owe Jorge Valdano a debit of gratitude is introducing me some years back to the book Dynamics of the Unthinkable...

Atlético Madrid were knocked out of the Champions League by a Chelsea side who dominated the LaLiga leaders over two legs.

Real Madrid would no doubt love to have Haaland or Mbappé but a more realistic possibility financially is the return of striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Alfredo Relaño evaluates the recent rise of Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, but is not optimistic that either Real Madrid or Barcelona are in a position to sign either player.
