There is no debate in football like this one. Not Messi vs Ronaldo. Not La Liga vs Premier League. Not even club vs country. Real Madrid vs Barcelona is the original argument.

The light blue vertical stripes, the white, the AFA crest — there is no national team jersey more recognised on earth right now. Not because of the design. Because of what happened in Qatar on 18 December 2022. The […]
Lamine Yamal is 18 years old and he is already the most searched new football name in India. The Barcelona winger. Spain’s #19.

There are players who arrive at a club and take time to settle. And then there is Jude Bellingham. The English midfielder joined Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023 and immediately became one of the best players in the world. Not in six months. Not after a season. Immediately.
