Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:07, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are uncited statements in the article. Also, I think the article is bloated, with too much detail in the lead, post-2009 History, "El Clásico" section (under rivalries, which also has large paragraphs), and "Finances and ownership" where the information can be moved to "History".

I would like to change some information on the page of Real Madrid. I can see that some information are not as updated as of current July 2025. H3ngJxx (talk) 08:14, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Franco Mastantuono

Officially, Franco Mastantuono is not a Real Madrid CF first team player. Mastantuono have a Real Madrid Castilla license. 185.124.30.109 (talk) 11:38, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of Mastantuono's Real Madrid B license ref.: https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2025/08/14/mastantuono-llevara-dorsal-30.html 185.124.30.109 (talk) 11:55, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
True. Franco Mastantuono is a Real Madrid B player. Number 30 is from reserve team. 213.143.49.104 (talk) 12:54, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Same was with Asencio. Despite being oficially registered with the second team, he was a regualar starter for the main, so it was decided to add him to the squad on the page. Leprazoori (talk) 14:14, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Poor reasoning. According to LaLiga regulations, only those who have number 1 to 25 are first team players. Real Madrid CF has registered Mastantuono as Real Madrid B and has given him a number of the filial. In addition, we are wikipedia, we cannot know or pretend to guess what will happen to this player in the games. Mastantono is a Real Madrid B player. 185.124.30.54 (talk) 18:06, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would leave it as B-Team as we don't know how regular he will be in the first team. It took some time with Asencio aswell, so we can be patient. We know it pretty early. Kante4 (talk) 18:12, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In terms of LaLiga rules, Franco must play at least 30% of the first team's matches to be considered a first-team player. Here's the ref. explanation:[1] If Franco plays regularly or at least 30% of the matches, he can be included alongside the first-team players. 185.124.28.202 (talk) 12:06, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
According to the official LaLiga regulations, it is very clear that Mastantuono is not part of the first team squad. Official Source: [2]
1. First and second division clubs will only be able to have a maximum of 25 licenses per team.
2. Players' jersey numbers will range from 1 to 25. Players who play for reserve teams will wear number 26 or higher.
In addition, many sources like: [3] states that this strategy can be ilegal. 185.124.29.172 (talk) 15:17, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but illegal or not, he is registered as a Castilla player. If Madrid are found guilty, then there is valid reason to change him to a first team player. ABisGOAT (talk) 02:55, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
