Tensions at Real Madrid are reaching a critical point at the end of the season. And an example of the bad atmosphere prevailing in the Madrid team was also seen in today's training.
According to MARCA reports, Fede Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni almost came to blows after a heated argument, reflecting the internal deterioration in the Real Madrid dressing room.
It all started with a game situation, a foul that caused one of the most tense moments in Valdebebas. The two players confronted each other, pushed each other and got into a heated argument that then continued in the locker room. The incident quickly spread throughout the training camp.
The team is going through one of the most difficult periods of the season, without any real chance of a trophy and with an increasingly divided climate within the group. The differences between the players are obvious and some of them almost no longer maintain relationships with each other. Also, living with Álvaro Arbeloa is not easy, in a situation where pressure and fatigue have exploded, to the point that some players do not speak to him at all.
This situation is compounded by this week's incident between Antonio Rüdiger and Álvaro Carreras, confirmed by the Spanish player himself. Although there was an attempt to publicly minimize the incident as a minor episode, within the team the atmosphere remains tense and the emotional fatigue is evident.
The problem for Real Madrid is that this tense atmosphere, along with the Valverde-Tchouaméni clash, comes just days before a very important match. On Sunday, “El Clásico” is played in Barcelona, a challenge that could seal the fate of the season. FC Barcelona only needs one point to be declared champion, a scenario that would be the worst possible end for Real Madrid in a season filled with tension, fatigue and internal discord.
