OFFICIAL: Raphaël Varane will miss the Euro 2016 due to injury. #AnimoVarane

I say we should cash in on him. He's become injury prone, and we don't have a history of recovering them. He ain't the same we signed anyway.

Bring in Marquinhos instead.

According to English and Spanish media Mou is interested in Varane and he'll try to sign him for Manchester United. But can't say anything for now as Pepe may leave in a year or two. And zidane has influence on him too.

Varane could go. He is frustrated about the fact Zidane leaves him out in big/important games.

He commented on how he was playing more games during Rafa's time. Sounded like he was complaining.

It was driving me nuts man. I'm hardly hanging on, thanx to the anxiousness. Was supposed to be off on Saturday, but I requested to come to work so I get my mind off that major event for a while. I'm really struggling.

Pole sana mkuu! Mi nilitamani niwe Milan on saturday, lakini budget imekataa.

BALE'S Interview(summary) with COPE!

-"It'll be a different match but hopefully we'll get the same result (as Lisbon)."

-"Di María had a strike & GK struggled to get hold of the ball. The ball hung in the air for ages and I remember leaping to meet it."

-"I’m really enjoying my football. I’m feeling more and more comfortable in Madrid and I’m very happy.”

-"All we’re thinking about is winning going into this final. That’s what we want to do.”

-"We’re capable of beating them so all we can do is take to the pitch on Saturday, do our best, and hopefully that will be enough.”

-"Players [like me] with pace prefer to have space but I feel like I’ve improved over the last few years since coming to Spain."

-"I’ve adapted my game to mitigate not having space, playing 1-2s when needed. We know what to expect from Atlético. They’re physical."

-"We understand that defenders are just as important as attackers so we defend as a team and attack as a team.”

-"Depending how the game goes, thats how we’ll play. Atlético are going to be defensive as usual but it depends on how things pan out."

-"If we have to counter, we’ll counterattack. If we have to play possession football and create chances that way, then we’ll do that.”

-"I enjoy playing through the centre as there’s more freedom, but I’m happy playing on the right and left as well."

-"I’ve been working on my heading ability in training and when you score a few in games your confidence grows."

-"I've no secret. Finals bring the best out of you. You give a little more. I was lucky to score in 3 finals. Hopefully I can again."

-"A final is a match of maximum tension. Difficult but we will fight until the final minute for the win. We know that we can do it."

-"Zidane's come & he's kind of just given us that freedom to enjoy ourselves on the pitch. As a player, you like to play that way."

-"Zidane's instilled that confidence in the team that we can go out & express ourselves and I think that's brought the best out of us."

-"The role of the BBC is also to defend, we have done the last 6 months & this Saturday we are going to do it."

-"I am 100% convinced that Keylor Navas is a better goalkeeper than Oblak."

-"Real Madrid never surrenders and we have shown it this season."
