Real Madrid hold Klopp in high regard, but no talks have taken place

Real Madrid have already changed head coach during the course of this season, with Álvaro Arbeloa stepping in to replace Xabi Alonso. However, there is one candidate the club rates particularly highly.

Details: According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have great admiration for German manager Jürgen Klopp. At this point, though, there have been no negotiations or formal approaches between the parties.

Recall that Vinicius Junior, right during the match, accused the Benfica player of using racist slurs, sparking a wave of outrage on social media and a strong reaction from many high-profile figures, including FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

There was further controversy in the match as Vinícius Júnior decided to leave the pitch after hearing racist abuse. He initially refused to continue the game. The stoppage lasted ten minutes.

For the record: Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand was outraged by the racist scandal involving Vinicius, stating that it shames football.
