Real Madrid: the war intensifies between Carvajal and Arbeloa

The right-back has clearly become a source of tension at Casa Blanca. Indeed, Dani Carvajal is experiencing a bitter end to the season at Real Madrid. The man who will undoubtedly play his last World Cup with Spain was hampered by a serious injury, and the Madrilenian therefore played very few minutes under Arbeloa. The Spanish coach had also displayed a firm position at a press conference, refusing any particular management to favor his presence in the selection. However, this situation made the relationship between the two men even more tense.

As indicated Sportthere have been numerous disagreements for weeks. A very specific element would therefore be at the heart of the problem: jealousy. As a reminder, Carvajal relegated Arbeloa to the bench when he started at the club, before becoming a reference in his position. Today, the context seems reversed and could precipitate a difficult end to the cycle for the former captain. The war is more present than ever internally, while its future remains uncertain. His contract extension was not mentioned even though he only has a few weeks left before June. If the crisis grips Real Madrid at the end of the season, jealousy could prevent the player from finishing it.
