Subhankar Mondal

I have been part of the UK media industry for 15 years and have worked for prestigious news organisations such as Sky Sports, Goal and GRV Media.

I have had my work published in The Guardian, The Observer and World Soccer Magazine. I have appeared on the BBC and was cited in a major Louis van Gaal biography.

Among the major footballing personnel that I have interviewed in my career are Xherdan Shaqiri, Neil Taylor, Simon Walton, Mikael Silvestre and John Barnes.

I have a Master’s degree in International Journalism from Cardiff University (UK) and a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Psychology and English Literature from Bangalore University (India).

I am a Real Madrid fan and believe that Florentino Perez is the greatest club supremo of all time. My love for Los Blancos started in the summer of 2000 when they audaciously signed Luis Figo from bitter rivals Barcelona.
