Y Nada Mas | A Real Madrid Podcast

This is a bit of a different episode. I have always enjoyed talking about the politics of football, the behavior (or lack thereof) that it inspires in its fanbase, and well the good, the bad, and the ugly of football. We saw quite a bit of ugly this past weekend at the Madrid Derby and once again it was against Atlético Madrid and a sector of their fanbase that really should not be allowed to be a...

Real Madrid faced off against VfB Stuttgart to open their 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League campaign. It was a nervy game that saw Los Blancos suffering from the same problems that have been affecting them since the beginning of the season. While the star-studded attack of Vinicius, Mbappé, and Rodrygo shows flashes of breakneck speed, skill, and firepower...it still seems disjointed. Jude Bellingha...

Going into this past weekend's match against Real Betis there were a lot of nerves and worries about Real Madrid's recent performances, their lack of cohesion in attack, the stability of the dressing room, and of course what Los Blancos' would do to fill the giant Teutonic gap in the midfield left by the one and only Toni Kroos. Some of the concerns and nerves surrounding Real Madrid these past fe...

Real Madrid secured all 3 points against Real Valladolid but the team still looks a bit disjointed and far from the completed product a lot of Madridistas know and hope it will be this season. Many were expecting to Mbappé score his first LaLiga goal at the Santiago Bernabeu but were left wanting. However, it was Real Madrid's other new signing, 18-year old Brazilian wunderkind Endrick who scored...

It's been 9 months since we last did a podcast and a lot has happened! A 15th UCL title, a 36th LaLiga title, and a recent UEFA Super Cup win over Atalanta. Toni Kroos, Joselu, and Nacho have said farewell to the club and Kylian Mbappé has FINALLY arrived. A new season is upon us, both for Real Madrid and for the Y Nada Mas podcast. We're back and what a time to come back. In this episode, we disc...

After a lackluster performance versus Rayo Vallecano over the weekend that resulted in a dull 0-0 draw, Los Blancos showed up versus Portugal's SC Braga in their UCL tie and not only scored 3 great goals but also looked good doing it. With this latest win, Real Madrid has secured their ticked to the knockout stage so on we go to the Round of 16. Carlo Ancelotti made quite a few changes to the Star...

At this point in the 2023-24 season, if you overhear football fans talking about an amazing Real Madrid player doing amazing things, scoring last-minute goals, and hoisting the team on his back to pull them over the finish line...you would probably know that the player they are speaking about is Jude Bellingham. At 20 years old, he is, without a doubt a Real Madrid legend in the making. Pundits an...

Once again, the time has come for two of the world's biggest football rivals to face off against one another. Real Madrid, who are coming off a draw against Sevilla in the Sanchez Pizjuan and a UCL Group Stage victory over Braga in Portugal, will now prepare to battle their bitter rivals from Northeastern Spain. Yes. That's right. Next up, El Clásico. The Blaugrana come into this match missing key...

The international break is almost over and La Liga action will return this weekend versus Sevilla. Since their loss against Atlético Madrid in the Madrid derby Real Madrid has demonstrated a winning mentality and has returned to the top of the league table with recent wins over Las Palmas, Girona, and Osasuna. In the Champions League, Los Blancos defeated Serie A champions Napoli. Jude Bellingham...

Real Madrid has now returned to the top...for now. After losing the Madrid Derby versus Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano over a week ago, Real Madrid have returned to their winning ways and have since picked up two wins. One against UD Las Palmas during midweek and this past weekend another win versus surprise league leaders Girona. The win versus Girona propelled Los Blancos back to the top o...

The storm from the weekend loss versus Atlético Madrid has passed and Real Madrid have bounced back from that loss with a win over lowly UD Las Palmas. But this is Real Madrid, and a loss against our crosstown rivals always stings and gives the more rabid elements of the Real Madrid fanbase a reason to claim that the house needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt from scratch, so to speak. But...

Yes, Madridistas, we don't have a #9 and we need another quality RB to deputize Dani Carvajal BUT regardless of that, there is something to be excited about. We have something very special. And that special something is Jude Victor William Bellingham. What. A. Player. In this episode, we talk about what has essentially become The Jude Bellingham Show, as well as Florentino's obsession with Mbappe,...

Real Madrid has started off the season on the right foot with two wins in their first two games of the season. In addition, new arrival Jude Bellingham has fit right into this young Real Madrid side scoring three goals in his first two games. However, it is still safe to say that Madridistas are happy but nervous. Carlo Ancelotti's new 4-4-2 diamond formation may be getting the best out of Jude Be...

Hello Madridistas! It's been a while since we posted a podcast but it's a new season and it's time to get back on track as a younger looking more energetic Madrid takes the field during the 2023-2024 season. La Liga is back, Real Madrid is back, and the Y Nada Mas podcast is back! It's a new season and a new Madrid! In this episode, we talk a little bit about our absence during the last few months...

The last time we recorded the podcast, Real Madrid had just come off back-to-back victories against Villareal in the Copa del Rey and Athletic Club in La Liga. It seemed like Real Madrid was back on track after their Supercopa loss to Barcelona. Los Blancos then defeated Atlético Madrid in a heated Copa Del Rey match that was preceded by disgusting racially charged antics by some Atlético Madrid f...

We should be used to it by now, Madridistas. Real Madrid has a few bad games, they look terrible, they lose to our bitter rivals, and they make us feel like all is lost. And yet, Los Blancos, throughout their history have the uncanny ability to claw victory from the jaws of defeat. To turn things around just when all but the most faithful lose hope. After a loss to Villarreal in La Liga and a bitt...

If Real Madrid was trying to return to form and put on a good performance after losing to Villareal last week and just barely getting past Valencia, well then that was not it. In what was probably one of the worst performances of the season Real Madrid was dominated by Barcelona in the Supercopa de España final. What makes the loss even more infuriating was not only that they played terribly but t...

Real Madrid fell to Villarreal 1-2 at Estadio de la Cerámica this past Saturday. The team from the Valencian community has proven to be a thorn in Real Madrid's side in recent years, yet they have not been able to beat Los Blancos since 2018. However, a lackluster performance from Real Madrid and a strong performance by Villarreal lead "The Yellow Submarine" to their first victory over Real Madrid...

It's 2023! A New Year and Real Madrid football is back! After a one-month break due to some small international football competition...La Liga is back! In this episode, we talk about the World Cup, my gripe with the Argentinian national team, Cristiano's move to Al-Nassr, Real Madrid's nervy victory over Valladolid, and La Liga racism, terrible reffing, and corruption. It's a big episode to kick o...

In this Y Nada Mas Podcast episode, we discuss the Quarter-Final round of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. We discuss Luka Modrić and Croatia's gritty performance that sent Brazil packing, the shameful scenes during the Argentina-Netherlands game (which was still a classic), and we also talk about Morocco's incredible run, Cristiano's World Cup dream being over, France till being the favorite, and more....

The 2nd Day of the World Cup Round of 16 has ended and we now have 2 of our Quarterfinal matchups set. Argentina vs Netherlands and France vs England. Those are two juicy matchups that can either make or break Messi's chances of lifting the World Cup and will also let us know whether France can continue on the road toward a repeat World Cup title. In this episode, we discuss the latest RO16 games...

We did it! Our first live stream of the Y Nada Mas Podcast is now complete! It's been a while since we posted anything BUT we were working on getting new equipment and setting up everything to continue making the type of content we feel you deserve and the type of content that would live up to OUR own lofty standards. There will be more to come so we hope you enjoy it! In this podcast, we of cours...

After months of speculation but very little doubt about the outcome, Karim Benzema is officially the 2022 Ballon D'Or winner. He is the "Karim" of the crop! Oh, sorry about the terrible pun but we had to do it. After almost 14 years at Real Madrid, countless moments of magic, struggles, and perseverance, Monsieur Karim Benzema rightfully etched his name into the upper echelon of footballers who ha...

The wins keep rolling in for Real Madrid. 8 wins out of 8 games played and the last two games were won without their talismanic number 9, Karim Benzema. Three of Madrid's young stars, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, and Fede Valverde have been the players responsible for helping keep Real Madrid's win streak alive. Fede Valverde seems determined to make this season a personal best when it comes to scoring...

Real Madrid is a perfect 5 for 5 so far this season. Los Blancos have won their first 4 encounters in LaLiga and their opening group stage match in the Champions League. If we include their win over Eintracht Frankfurt for the UEFA Super Cup as part of this season…they are a perfect 6 out of 6. It hasn’t been smooth sailing though. Real Madrid does have a tendency to take their foot off the gas an...
