A thread of some of my favorite photos:
The late great José Antonio Reyes coming on for David Beckham against Mallorca (last game of 06/07). Beckham still hadn't won a title with Real Madrid, and it was his final game before leaving. Reyes scored 2, turned the game on its head & secured the title.
Rest in peace, José
Rest in peace, José
Penalty shootout, Spain vs Portugal, semifinals (Euro 2012). Just weeks before, Ramos' penalty miss against Bayern in the UCL had gone viral. Not only did he have the guts to step up and take another one, but he even decided to chip Rui Patrício. Amazing response.
Zidane studying Ancelotti's press conference during his time as assistant manager (2013/14). Not sure how many players with such a legendary career would be willing to sit down among the journalists like a student and take notes like that.
Another fantastic picture of Zidane and Ancelotti. The night when Real Madrid won their 10th Champions League title.
Fede Valverde with a crucial tackle on Morata in the final minutes of the Supercopa final, making sure that the game went to penalties (which Real Madrid won). Ugly challenge, but I think every fan could relate to how Fede wanted to do everything to make sure the team won.
I love this picture of Giroud and Kanté. Giroud comes out with his fancy clothes and red shoes, all prepared for the photographers, while Kanté seems like he couldn't care less about his appearance. And of course it's Kanté who we all love. (I think there's a lesson there)
Ruud van Nistelrooy holding up Gonzalo Higuaín's jersey after the teenager's match winner in stoppage time against Espanyol (4-3). Higuaín had missed a ton of chances that season, and this was his first goal at the Bernabéu. One of many late match winners which lead to the title.
Carlo Ancelotti getting a round of applause from the journalists after his last press conference as Real Madrid manager. Ancelotti joking "I'll see you tomorrow", although everyone knew he was about to get sacked.
I think this was from the game where Mourinho played Pepe as a lone defensive midfielder. Which turned out to be quite spectacular:
"This star comes for free"
My expectations for Jesé were insanely high, and I remember watching all of his games for Castilla, even the ones for Spain U19, U20 etc. He was so close to making it. Don't forget that he was almost a first-team starter before his injury. What a shame

Now this is a good one! Modric & Ødegaard, the past and the future (from @FranceRMCF)
