Boss, I've got news that'll make you forget how much you spent on diesel last month! Real Madrid officially announced they've parted ways with Alvaro Arbeloa. The man, 43 years old, promoted from the B team after they fired Xabi Alonso, still had a contract until 2027, but they agreed to let him go.

The club thanked him for his loyalty and professionalism, for showing their values. But let's be real: they kept him four months, he lost to second-division Albacete in the Copa del Rey, 2-3, in the round of 16. That's not how you do it, bro!

Overall, 28 matches, 18 wins, two draws, eight losses, goal difference 58-34, average two points per match. Weak, boss, weak! Now comes Jose Mourinho, 63 years old, after 13 years.

Florentino Perez won the elections on June 7 and brought him in exactly as promised. And what does Mourinho do? He goes on a locker room cleanup.

He gets rid of six players: Rodrygo, 25 years old, torn ACL and meniscus, won't play until autumn, misses the 2026 World Cup. Next: Dani Ceballos, Fran Garcia, Raul Asencio, Franco Mastantuono, and Eduardo Camavinga. All free agents!

And he's already started transfers: Denzel Dumfries from Inter for 20 million euros, Ibrahima Konate free from Liverpool, and 150 million for Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. Madness, bro! And another piece of news: Pope Leo XIV sparked a scandal in Spain.

During his visit, he said that as pope, he supports all teams, but Robert Prevost, his real name, is a Real Madrid fan. Then he visited the Bernabéu, saw the trophies, received a personalized jersey from Perez. Barcelona fans felt offended, naturally.

On Tuesday, in Barcelona, at the cathedral, he called for dialogue and unity, but some are still holding a grudge. Today he inaugurates the Jesus Tower at the Sagrada Familia. What can I say, that's Spanish rivalry!

And not to forget: Real Madrid signed the longest sponsorship deal in La Liga with Fly Emirates, until 2031. Now they get 100 million euros per year, instead of 70-80. The logo appears on the first team jerseys (men's and women's), on basketball, and at the academy.

Emirates vice president Boutros Boutros said it's an example of commitment. Man, back in Romania, if we had a 100 million sponsorship, maybe we'd build the highway to Cluj. But no, we brag about our 2008 BMW and grandma's moonshine.

For now, I'm off to tell Brian to stop dreaming about Rodrygo's jersey, because the Brazilian is injured until autumn.
