CL preview: Mou reveals starting 11 for tomorrow! And Dobby is a daddy!
Mou's presser is still going on as I type (Mesut just answered a hilarious question, but it needs video to be done justice) and Mou answered one of the questions with this:
Q: Will Casillas or Diego López play tomorrow and what is your relationship with Casillas?
MOU: "Do you want to know who is going to play at right-back too? In midfield? My whole line-up? Tomorrow, Diego López will be playing. In front of him will be Ramos, Pepe, Varane, and Coentrão. In front of them Khedira and Alonso. Also Özil, Higuaín, Cristiano. And Di María, hopefully. His daughter was born today and it is a difficult situation for him and his family. [Note: I don't see him in any of the team pics, so maybe he stayed behind in Madrid to be with his family?] My relationship with Iker is professional and polite, as is natural between two educated people.”
So on the first note: Congratulations to Angel and Jorgelina! It's a girl, which means a lot of you were right in last post.
And secondly: What do you guys think about the line-up? Any surprises? (Myself, I was surprised Casemiro got called up again.)
EDIT: now updated with training pictures.
(Left: Iker is accidentally separated from the other GKs, looks lost. Right: Xabi pledges his sword to the Order of Orange Shirts to find their missing pretty princess, Ikerina.)
(Above: I feel your feels, Mou. It does hurt to see your ex dating new people.)
(Left: Iker grows tired of the other kids in Mr. Mou's second grade class gossiping about him. Right: Iker takes out his frustrations on poor Croatian waif Luka Modric.)
(Left: Sergio shows off his main assets. Right: Don't get Cris angry. You won't like him when he's angry.)
(Above: Modric watches as yet another episode of Real Madridwives plays out in front of him when Pepe reveals himself to be Fabio's secret lover.)
(Above: In the wild, wolf packs will establish a clear hierarchy of dominance. On the left, we see the wolves teasing and picking on the omega in the pack, and on the right the alpha wolf puts the challenger beta wolf in its place.)
(Left: Mesut sports a patchy blond mustache thing on his face. Right: Mou shows up to a press conference wearing Morais' jumper?)
