      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enrique Riquelme is moving quickly as Real Madrid’s presidential election process takes shape.&lt;/b&gt; The Electoral Board has not yet confirmed &lt;b&gt;a date for the vote&lt;/b&gt;, though it is currently expected to be held on &lt;b&gt;Sunday, June 7&lt;/b&gt;. Riquelme’s campaign believes that would be the most logical timing, but they are prepared for a shorter campaign window if the election is called earlier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/real-madrid-election-heats-up-as-riquelme-hears-member-concerns-it-cannot-work-like-this-f202605-n/" target="_blank"&gt;Seguir leyendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

Real Madrid’s call came and changed everything. He accepted that the moment had arrived, and that the appearance of the club he had dreamed about forced him to take on the challenge of leaving Anfield behind. The story, in its first chapter, has not gone as he expected, but he is convinced that sooner or later the success he came looking for will arrive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/trents-first-real-madrid-chapter-did-not-go-to-plan-but-his-real-mission-starts-now-f202605-n/" target="_blank"&gt;Seguir leyendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

La Fábrica’s treble. Real Madrid are the champions of champions,&lt;/b&gt; after lifting the league title and the Youth League. Three trophies into the cabinet in one sweep. It had been done before – most recently with Álvaro Arbeloa on the bench in 2022-23 – but never with the youth Champions League among them. Álvaro López and his players have pulled it off, after taking the final crown against Barça. They came from behind in a mini-Clásico for which the prefix did no justice. It had everything: tension, controversy, red cards, a comeback. La Masia had started in control, carried by its ball players. But nine minutes, and Gabri Valero, changed everything. A walkway into history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/barcelona-1-4-real-madrid-f202605-n/" target="_blank"&gt;Seguir leyendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://img.asmedia.epimg.net/resizer/v2/WF26CM4FYZF75ESIBF3BWVCXHM.JPG?auth=cd245da903a368d44d69879073174f2a1ddb3a6f3e7525594fb0fa55fdee8f82" width="7141" height="5051" alt="Celebration of the 3-1."&gt;&lt;/img&gt;</content:encoded>
