Pepe was very out of the blue at the time. Wasn’t even international for Brasil or Portugal side. And very unknown in European football. Militão was already in International for Brasil before signing for Porto. Danilo is great. He would start herePepe was similar right? Let's hope he turns to Danilo type of buy
Militao will be one of the best centre backs of his generation. I don't think he has a single weakness to his game and can see why Madrid have signed him. Him and Varane at the back once Ramos decides to fuck off is a scary prospect.
Looks like Vallejo will be leaving - such a talented centre back who's been ravaged by injuries.

Speaking of Pepe. I've just seen his real name and I honestly feel a bit bamboozled.
What language do folks in the UK usually take in school? French?

I wonder if Marcelo really means it 
Marcelo: Copa Libertadores glory means more than my Champions Leagues
PUBLISHED: 10:08 GMT, 5 November 2023 |
Marcelo called Fluminense's success in the Copa Libertadores final on Saturday the biggest title of his career, ahead of Real Madrid's Champions League wins.
Rio de Janeiro-based Fluminense, Marcelo's boyhood team, claimed its first title in the CONMEBOL South American club competition after a feisty 2-1 win over Argentina's Boca Juniors after extra time.
The Brazilian left-back, 35, won five Champions League titles with Real Madrid during a distinguished 15-year career with the Spanish giants, but revealed that this one meant more because of his boyhood attachment to Fluminense.
Marcelo told ESPN: 'Real Madrid will understand. It's my most important title, at club level, because it's the club that raised me.
'I'm winning a very important title with my favourite club, the club that gave me all the tools to have my career, with the employees who saw me grow up. There's nothing more rewarding than that. It's priceless.

Might be more than a touchline ban.
Probably end up paying a fine rather than prison though .......
Fantasy. Banning Madrid and Barca from the CL will never happen.
Fascist pricks.
