It will be the first year in Madrid without a ‘9’His place in the locker room has already disappeared

There is no place for the ‘9’ in Real Madrid. And not because they haven’t tried. After the departure of Karim Benzema to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, there was a clear slogan in the white team. The Frenchman’s place was to be taken by another compatriot, Kylian Mbappé. But as usual, the PSG player hesitated again with Florentino Pérez and stayed in Paris.

During the transfer market, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti has tried to find a replacement. Harry Kane was very expensive for his age. They didn’t even ask about Oshimen. And in the end the footballer who arrived was Joselu, from Espanyol. A forward established in LaLiga EA Sports but many saw him as a ‘revulsive’ for Real Madrid.

The fans and the club continued waiting and in the end no one arrived as number ‘9’. A situation never seen before in Real Madrid, where it was the first time in history in which there would not be a player with the number nine on his back.

In the Real Madrid locker room there is no number ‘nine’Before this weekend’s match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, the white club published a video in which you could see the inside of the locker room. And in the images there was something that did not go unnoticed by the white fans.

While the video was passing one by one through the places that each white player has in the locker room, the images showed that there was no place for the ‘9’, and that they had also occupied that space with a television.

In the locker room you can see how Kroos’s place is with the number ‘8’, a space where the ‘9’ should be and that there is now a television, and Luka Modric’s place, with the ’10’.
