Real Madrid heads into the Clásico match with a strong defense. The team kept clean sheets in two straight games against Getafe and Juventus. In twelve matches across La Liga and the Champions League, it has not let in any goals in six of them.
Coach Xabi Alonso has built a tighter defense than last season. His side uses high pressing and quick play to keep rivals from reaching Courtois’s area. The goalkeeper made key saves in recent games, showing better form than in the 2019/2020 season, when he allowed 20 goals in 34 matches.
Real Madrid has given up only nine league goals this term, the fewest in the competition. Alaves has eight, while Osasuna, Athletic Bilbao, and Elche each have nine. Barcelona has ten. This sharp defensive...
Bayern Munich’s sports director, Max Eberl, met with Gordon Stepić, the agent of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi. The meeting showed Bayern’s strong interest in the English player. Real Madrid and Liverpool also want to sign him.
If Dayot Upamecano does not extend his deal with Bayern, the club may move for Guéhi. Nico Schlotterbeck of Borussia Dortmund is another top choice for Eberl.
Guéhi’s contract with Crystal Palace ends this season, and he will not sign a new one.

Barcelona’s leaders are ready to let him go on loan in January. They hope this will ease the cost of his high pay, as he plays less this season.
Ter Stegen wants to play again before the World Cup. He has not appeared in any matches this season because of back surgery. He knows he is no longer the first-choice goalkeeper after Juan Garcia joined last summer.

Jude Bellingham has not played much since he joined Borussia Dortmund. The English midfielder came from Sunderland in a big transfer, but has not shown his best form on the field. He is thinking about a move to get more time in matches.
Manchester United wants to sign him in the winter transfer window. The club thinks his strength and skill would help their team right away and in the future. Dortmund does not want him to go. The German side sees him as key to its plans and points to his long contract. Bellingham must now choose: stay and fight for a place or go to Manchester United for a fresh start.
A man who lived on Nairobi’s streets for 25 years has found work, less than a month after being helped by Nairobi County Environment Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria. Mosiria moved him from a roadside shack near Railways Golf Club in mid-September and provided him with a home in Dagoreti South and basic supplies.

A notice circulating on social media said no other candidates filed to run in Tembelio Ward in Uasin Gishu and Metkei Ward in Elgeyo Marakwet, naming two UDA nominees as elected.
