Rival Reviews: A Real Madrid Superfan Reviews A Barcelona Jersey

Real Madrid fans are unique. As supporters of the most successful club in the history of Europe — if not the world — they look down on all others, especially that pesky club from Catalonia.

The only club that can really challenge Los Blancos’ superiority in Spain is, of course, Barcelona, so the rivalry is understandable intense. No other team brings out the best (or worst) in Real.

In Felipe’s case, it was the worst.

Antoine Griezmann Scores Stunning Curler And Celebrates With Confetti Toss

With Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé all sidelined through injury, new signing Antoine Griezmann took center stage in Barcelona’s 5-2 victory over Real Betis at the Camp Nou on Sunday night.

Guess Who: Martin Ødegaard Scores His First LaLiga Goal, And It’s A Beauty

Given a much more normal pathway to his footballing career, Martin Ødegaard is thriving.

Eden Hazard Responds To Weight Criticism With His “Six Pack”

Real Madrid star Eden Hazard has responded to fan allegations of some minor weight gain this offseason with a video. The Belgian winger was getting a haircut with no shirt on (like a sociopath) and decided to film a quick short about his abs.

Hazard was sitting, so obviously we did not get the most flattering ab angle we could have received. 

Reseñas De Rivales: Hicimos A Este Superfan Del Barcelona Realizar Una Reseña De Una Playera De Sergio Ramos

El Clásico es un partido como ningún otro. La pasión, el amor y el odio entre los hinchas del Real Madrid y el Barcelona no tiene rival y los dos clubes definen el fútbol español.

Pero, ¿qué pasaría si un fan del Barcelona tuviera que decir algo bonito sobre el Real Madrid? ¿Podría hacerlo?

Esa fue la tarea asignada a Will para nuestra última edición de Rival Reviews con World Soccer Shop.

Will, un fanático blaugrana acérrimo, fue traído bajo el disfraz de revisar la última equipación del Barça (un top a cuadros que adoramos). 

Even Rehabbing On Sand, Lionel Messi Is Magnificent To Watch

Lionel Messi has spent most of his preseason with Barcelona recovering from an injury suffered on his first day back in training. The Messi injury, a Grade 1 calf strain, could keep him out of the LaLiga opener on Friday against Athletic Bilbao.
