Since the departure of Xabi Alonso, the Real Madrid locker room has deteriorated further. Described as fragile, in particular because of the recent tensions between several teammates and the 43-year-old coach, the Spanish team is swimming in toxicity. And after El Mundothis situation would have set in gradually, fueled by daily disagreements in the group.

In this icy climate, current tensions have only accentuated divisions. A group of players would continue to support the Xabi Alonso clan, while another would be close to Alvaro Arbeloa as the source indicates. If chaos is present on every floor in the Spanish capital – Florentino Perez is also in the hot seat – the workforce would have put these oppositions back on the table. In Valdebebas, calm is not about to return before Sunday’s Clasico.
