Real Madrid against Manchester City – Emperor Raúl, Raúls Kaiser

The injury misery in Real’s defense has flushed a player from his own offspring into the first team: Raúl Acensio, trained by ex-Schalker Raúl Gonzalez, receives hymnic reviews in Spain. Only one court trial overshadows his ascent.

The Real Madrid office in Valbebas, near the airport in the Spanish capital, exudes the charm of the entrance hall of health insurance. Nothing that would not be kept in aseptic white and would correspond to the former storm legend Emilio BUPRAUEUEEUTE with the flawlessly ironed shirt, who could be persuaded to a selfie by a few fans on Tuesday morning before he disappears into his office.
