<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Dani%20Carvajal" target="_blank">The right back</a> is reportedly unhappy at the Bernabeu and is considering his options.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Carvajal played 90 minutes in Zinedine Zidane's opening two games, but was dropped to the bench for the third against Real Betis with Danilo preferred.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is Carvajal's third season at <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Real%20Madrid" target="_blank">Madrid</a> but the summer signing of Danilo - who has started 14 times in La Liga this season - has pushed him down the pecking order.</div>

Carvajal has started eight times, and <em>Fichajes.net</em> report that he is unhappy and would like to leave the club.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And they claim <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Chelsea" target="_blank">Chelsea</a> may be willing to offer him more football with Branislav Ivanovic under fire for his performances this term.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Serbia international had an awful start to the season but following an injury has improved.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chelsea also have Cesar Azpilicueta, currently deployed as left-back, who can play on the right.</div>

<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Manchester%20United" target="_blank">United</a> are wary of losing <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/David%20de%20Gea" target="_blank">David de Gea</a> to Real Madrid despite their impending transfer ban.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Real%20Madrid" target="_blank">Madrid</a> are set to be banned from signing players for two windows beginning this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But De Gea, whose move to the Bernabeu fell through last summer, is still their long-term target to replace Iker Casillas who left for Porto.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And United are now keeping tabs on <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Stoke%20City" target="_blank">Stoke</a> keeper Butland, according to the <em>Daily Mail</em>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Jack%20Butland" target="_blank">Butland</a> has put in a host of impressive performances this season helping Stoke develop a new style of football in front of him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Butland has made more saves (80) than any other keeper in the Premier League this season and has kept nine clean sheets from 22 games.</div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
The former Liverpool boss guided Madrid to third place, four points behind leaders Atletico and two behind Barcelona who have a game in hand, after 18 league games having replaced Carlo Ancelotti in the summer.</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
Benitez, whose seven months in charge came to an end this evening, oversaw the 2-2 draw with Gary Neville's Valencia on Sunday but the writing had been on the wall for weeks.</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
The 4-0 Clasico defeat on November 21 at the Bernabeu looked like being the nail in the coffin but Benitez held on for another six weeks.</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
Since that result Madrid's form has picked up with six wins in their next eight games including a 10-2 thrashing of Rayo Vallecano. </div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
But tonight Zidane, who was managing their Castilla side in the Spanish third tier, has taken the reins.</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
Florentino Perez said: Perez: “Hello and welcome. I invite you all here today to announce that we have terminated the contract of Rafa Benitez.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“I would like to make it clear that he is a great professional.”</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
Zidane was assistant to Ancelotti last season and completed his pro licence course in May making him eligible to lead the team.</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
He had worked as assistant to Jose Mourinho previously but the two fell out before the Portuguese left his post and Zidane began working with the B team.</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
Zidane played for Madrid for five years between 2001 and 2006 winning one league title and the 2002 Champions League.</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
He scored the iconic volley at Hampden Park in the victory over Bayer Leverkusen to seal the club's ninth European title.</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“He is one of the greatest players of all time,” says Perez. “Zidane, you are from this moment, the coach of Real Madrid.”</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
Zidane: “I’m going to do everything I can to make the best for this club.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“It’s a very important day for me. What I can tell you is that I will give everything or this club. </div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
White handkerchiefs were out in protest at the Santiago Bernabeu during the 4-0 loss against the Bluagrana, but a change of coach won't solve the deeper issues at Real</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pressure is on for <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Rafa%20Benitez" target="_blank">Rafa Benitez</a>. Defeat at Sevilla prior to the international break saw <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Real%20Madrid" target="_blank">Real Madrid</a> slip three points behind <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Barcelona" target="_blank">Barcelona</a> ahead of the Clasico and two weeks on, the 4-0 loss at home to the Catalans leaves the Spaniard on the brink. Sacking him, however, isn't the solution.<br /><br />Benitez has earned a reputation as a defensive coach during his time at Madrid and his players are not particularly fond of the team's style of play. Prior to the game against Barca, he was told by key figures in his squad that they needed to be more positive and, although he claimed that information was false, the former Liverpool boss picked a much more attacking line-up on Saturday.<br /><br />Casemiro dropped to the bench after playing eight games in a row, while James Rodriguez started and so too did Karim Benzema. It was the team the fans wanted and the team the players wanted, but it wasn't the one Rafa wanted. And when coaches betray their ideas, things rarely end well.<br /><br />What followed was a disaster from start to finish. Toni Kroos is not a defensive midfielder, while Luka Modric and James Rodriguez are playmakers who are aided by the presence of a ball-winner. But there wasn't one on the pitch and between them, the trio left far too much space in the centre of the pihct, offering little protection for the defence.<br /><br />Barca's brilliant midfield went through them like a knife through butter and Rafa admitted afterwards that he had got it wrong. "We picked players with quality and experience," he said. "But it didn't go as we had hoped. After the game, obviously it hasn't gone as we wanted. What else can I say?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some reports suggested prior to the match that Benitez would be out if he lost the Clasico, but that still seems premature and the man tipped to replace him, Zinedine Zidane, does not appear ready or even willing to take over at this stage.<br /><br />"Real Madrid already have a new coach in Zidane," former Barca forward Rivaldo wrote on Instagram after the Clasico on Saturday. "I believe it's time to give him a chance like Barca did with [Pep] Guardiola and Luis Enrique."<br /><br />It's true that Benitez may not be the right man for the job. The Spaniard's defensive style has won him few friends at Real and he has failed to win a league title since 2004 (with Valencia), while his only Champions League crown came a decade ago at Liverpool.<br /><br />Nevertheless, the problems at Real run much deeper than the man sitting on the bench.<br /><br />Before the match, former Barca president Joan Laporta told <strong>Goal</strong>: "I honestly think Barca have the better team. They play more as a unit and Madrid are in that phase where they are adapting to a playing style. Ours is very much integrated."<br /><br />How true. All of the players at La Masia are taught to play football in the Barca blueprint, while youth teams at the Catalan club are geared towards playing the same system: 4-3-3. That style has enjoyed spectacular success in recent times, but it has also evolved and players such as Ivan Rakitic and Luis Suarez have made it even better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Madrid, meanwhile, have no such strategy. Their formation and tactics vary from coach to coach, while new signings are identified in line with marketing and merchandising, shirt sales and global appeal. That is the Florentino Perez philosophy, but just like in his first spell in charge of the club, it is a vision that is proving to be flawed.<br /><br />Carlo Ancelotti suffered last season when Angel Di Maria and Xabi Alonso were sold in August, two key players he wanted to keep, footballers who brought balance to his starting line-up and who had both been key in securing La Decima months earlier. He also saw his side depleted by an injury crisis and was up against a Barca team that went on to win the treble. If anything, however, the squad's shortcomings were more Perez's fault than his own.<br /><br />Ancelotti had been talked about by some as a possible Sir Alex Ferguson figure at Real. Perez had tried to sign him twice before and was happy to get his man, yet while he kept faith in Jose Mourinho for three seasons, the Italian was dispatched as soon as things went wrong.<br /><br />Even though Ferguson won numerous trophies in his 26 years at Manchester United, he didn't claim the biggest prizes every single season. After winning four trophies in a calendar year for the first time in Madrid's history (in 2014), Ancelotti was out in 2015.<br /><br />And now Benitez is in danger just 16 games into his tenure. But how can Madrid possibly hope to catch or match Barcelona if they are constantly changing coaches and persisting with a signing policy that involves buying the world's best forwards and shoehorning them all into the same side?</div>

 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That may have brought success in the 1950s and 1960s when Real ruled the club scene in Europe, but it won't work now. Football has evolved and Perez is still seemingly living in the dark ages. Spending money is no guarantee of success these days. <br /><br />Instead, Madrid must decide how they want to play, pick a style and stick to it, signing footballers who will be right for a specific system. Whether they are marketable or not should be secondary. After all, Real are already the world's richest club, so the priority now needs to be success on the pitch. One league title and one Champions League crown since 2008 is simply not good enough - especially given the enormous outlay in that time.<br /><br />With less money spent since 2008, the Blaugrana have won La Liga five times and the Champions League on three occasions. But it wasn't always that way, of course, and during his spell as Barca boss, Guardiola admitted that the Catalan club had looked to Madrid for inspiration in the 1980s and 1990s.<br /><br />"It's the work of so many people going back 10 to 15 years," Pep said of La Masia in 2011. "Not so long ago we didn't even have a Champions League to our name. The 'Quinta del Buitre' (the Madrid team featuring five homegrown players and led by Emilio Butragueno that won five straight Liga titles between 1985 and 1990) were an example to us. We fed off of them, we learned so much from them."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So perhaps now it's time for Madrid to take a look at themselves, and then glance over towards Barca to see just what their biggest rivals have done to achieve all their success over the past few years. If you can't beat them, join them. </div>

Miserable night in Madrid: Suarez, Neymar star as Barcelona rout Real Madrid 4-0 in Clasico

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Luis Suarez and Neymar continued their sensational goalscoring form as Barcelona moved six points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga with a 4-0 thrashing of their bitter rivals at the Bernabeu on Saturday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Barca even had the luxury of leaving <a class="auto-link" href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Lionel%20Messi" target="_self" title="Lionel Messi">Lionel Messi</a> on the bench, but the Argentine did make his return from a two-month injury layoff half an hour from time and played a part in Suarez's second and Barca's fourth goal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suarez got Barca off to the perfect start after just 10 minutes and Neymar deservedly doubled the visitors' advantage just before half-time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_2516696" style="width: 390px;">
<a href="http://s4.firstpost.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Barcelona-celebrate_AFP_El-clasico.jpg"><noscript>&amp;lt;img src="http://s4.firstpost.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Barcelona-celebrate_AFP_El-clasico.jpg" alt="Barcelona&amp;amp;#039;s players acknowledge the crowd their win over Real Madrid.

Barcelona's players acknowledge the crowd their win over Real Madrid. AFP</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At that point Neymar and Suarez had scored every one of Barca's last 19 La Liga goals, but Andres Iniesta ended that run in style when he blasted a third into the top corner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And <a class="auto-link" href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Lionel%20Messi" target="_self" title="Messi">Messi</a>, Neymar and Suarez all combined for the latter to score a fourth before Isco sealed an embarrassing defeat for Madrid by getting sent-off late on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I didn't see it going like that," said Barca boss Luis Enrique.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We were at a superior level and generated superiority in many areas of the pitch. We were solid at the back too and it was more the merit of Barca than the fault of Madrid."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite just two defeats in 16 games in charge, Madrid boss Rafael Benitez's job is now in doubt as the home fans turned on club president Florentino Perez towards the end of the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Logically we are hurting. It hurts to lose and particularly to lose in that manner," said Benitez.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"What worries me is the team recovering mentally before the next game."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The build-up to the match had been dominated by security fears after last week's series of deadly attacks in Paris which killed 130 people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A minute's silence was held to the tune of the French national anthem La Marseillaise and a large French flag was unfurled by the Madrid fans before kick-off in honour of the victims before kick-off.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the sombre atmosphere quickly turned hostile as the home fans saw their side completely outplayed by Barca.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sergi Roberto was rewarded for his great form of late with a start in the position normally occupied by <a class="auto-link" href="http://www.firstpost.com/topic/person/lionel-messi-profile-4769.html" target="_self" title="Messi">Messi</a> and he repaid Luis Enrique's faith with a big role in a fine opening goal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Spaniard collected Sergio Busquets's pass and drove at the Madrid defence before threading a pass through for Suarez who coolly slotted home with the outside of his right foot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Karim Benzema started for Madrid for the first time since he was charged with complicity to blackmail and conspiring to commit a criminal act in his native France in a case involving a sex tape featuring French international teammate Mathieu Valbuena.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And after six weeks out, Benzema's rustiness showed as he failed to make a clean contact when presented with a great chance from Jeremy Mathieu's slip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Barca's dominance in possession was rewarded with a second before half-time when Iniesta's through ball was perfectly timed for Neymar and his effort squeezed under Keylor Navas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It could even have been three before the break as Marcelo cleared Suarez's shot off the line and Raphael Varane blocked Ivan Rakitic's follow-up effort.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hosts started the second period slightly better as James Rodriguez forced Claudio Bravo into a brilliant save low to his right.</div>

But any hope of a comeback was emphatically ended by a brilliant strike by Iniesta as he latched onto Neymar's backheel eight minutes after the break.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When time is kick off for Real Madrid vs Barcelona?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, it's that time again. Club football's biggest showpiece - and arguably the finest showcase of global talent football has to offer - is ready for its first instalment of the season as Barcelona and Real Madrid meet in El Clasico this coming Saturday, November 21. The game starts at 5.15pm UK time (or 6.15pm local time) at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kick off has been pushed back by 15 minutes to accommodate UK viewers (so you'd better watch it), because of the broadcasting law that forbids live football from being screened between 2.45pm and 5.15pm. </div>

Is there any danger it might be called off after the Paris attacks?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Europe is on high alert following the deadly bombings and shootings in the French capital and a friendly match between Spain and Belgium due to take place in Brussels later on Tuesday has been postponed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the Spanish government's top sports official has sent out a message of calm and said there is no reason for Real v Barcelona to be postponed. Miguel Cardenal, the head of Spain's sports council (CSD), said officials would meet on Wednesday to discuss security at the match and steps would be taken to allow fans to attend the match "with a guarantee of normality". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We are the first ones interested in making sure nothing untoward occurs," Cardenal said. "So if anything happens that requires the public to be given certain instructions like suspending a match that will be done. The correct message is one of calm. The advice is the same as last week, to act normally and in absolute freedom." </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is the team news? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There could be some big names missing, with Lionel Messi facing a race against time to be fit. The Argentine has missed the last 10 games, but he did return to training on Monday and you would have to think there is a fair chance Barca will do everything in their power to get him on the field. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still, if he does not make it, Real's problems do not magically disappear: Neymar and Luis Suarez have flourished in his absence, scoring their last 16 league goals with Barcelona winning 8 of those 10 matches. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Gerard Pique picks his world dream team  </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Given that his team-mates have coped without him, it may well be that Messi only makes the bench for this match, with his long-term fitness the most important factor. </div>

For Real Madrid, Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez made their returns to action in the defeat at Sevilla but Karim Benzema missed out for, let's say, 'other' reasons, though he has also been struggling with an injury, too. He should be back for the Clasico. </div>

Prediction </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Real Madrid have the home advantage but given recent form it will be some ask to stop Barcelona's lethal strike force, whether or not Messi returns in time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That said, Real have plenty of firepower of their own and both teams tend to score in these games, though they rarely end in draws. </div>
