Tensions in Real Madrid's dressing room have intensified sharply recently. Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni have had multiple fallouts over the past two years, which eventually escalated into a physical confrontation, leaving Valverde injured and sent to hospital. There have always been underlying rifts and conflicts inside Real Madrid’s dressing room this season, with players forming cliques against one another. The senior squad members led by Antonio Rüdiger and the young players headed by Carreras refuse to talk to each other, and their friction has even led to physical clashes. Kylian Mbappé, the club’s star player, has had his professional attitude questioned by teammates. He’s been criticised for going on holiday during his injury recovery, turning up late for training, and having virtually no communication whatsoever with manager Álvaro Arbeloa. Meanwhile, Spanish homegrown players and foreign signings have split into two opposing factions. Some players have even directly contacted Florentino Pérez to lodge complaints. What are the core problems plaguing Real Madrid right now? The primary person to blame is undoubtedly Arbeloa. As a manager with limited experience, he simply lacks the capability and credentials to take charge of a top European giant. His tactical setups and squad rotation decisions have been widely questioned by fans and the media, costing him all authority and respect among the players. On top of that, he rarely holds proper talks with key players, and all these factors have further torn apart the harmony inside the dressing room. Another major issue is the absence of a natural leader in the squad. Both Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. have proven with their behaviour that they are not cut out to be team leaders, and it is clear that Valverde is also unfit to take on the captaincy role. What does the future hold for Real Madrid? It’s high time Florentino Pérez sat down and finalised his squad clear-out list.

The only way to beat them is to use physicality against their softness outmuscle them all over the pitch throw in plenty of contact and tough challenges. Talented players hate the risk of getting injured and they get frustrated quickly when the tackles start flying. Once they lose their cool, their finishing goes out the window.
