Madrid in disarray: Chaos, meltdowns and the second round of Tchouameni-Valverde fight

Reading Time: 3min | Thu. 07.05.26. | 17:23

And all that just three days before El Clasico which could decide the title race in Barcelona's favour

Real Madrid fired Xabi Alonso because he lost control of the locker room. Now, under Alvaro Arbeloa, it is in unprecedented chaos!

At this point, it's hard to tell who is fighting with whom and whether there are even two Los Blancos' players who can communicate properly with each other.

Kylian Mbappe's case is already familiar. The Frenchman had already been accused of "protecting himself" in order not to risk a serious injury ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He, however, denied these allegations.

Nevertheless, just recently, while his teammates were battling for three points against Espanyol, the team's leading scorer was photographed on a yacht in Italy, enjoying a vacation with his girlfriend.

That angered the fans, who launched an Mbappe Out petition, signed by over 30 million people! Still, the situation around the former Paris Saint-Germain superstar is only the tip of the iceberg...

Namely, according to reports from Spain, there were two physical altercations in Madrid's squad in recent days. Not one, but two!

The newcomer from Benfica, Alvaro Carreras, has already seemingly confirmed his clash with Antonio Rudiger through a social media post, claiming that "it was an incident that does not usually occur".

At the same time, Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde also fell out in a training session, and the argument, which included shoving and pushing, didn't end on the pitch, but continued in the locker room as well. Nevertheless, Marca reports that another fight between the Frenchman and the Uruguayan broke today, and was much more serious, given that Fede had to be taken to a hospital!

The same source reveals that as many as six players have cut ties with the manager Arbeloa! Dani Carvajal, Raul Asencio, Dani Ceballos, and Alvaro Carreras are reportedly among them, and few would be surprised if it became even longer.

Following the game against Espanyol, the tactician spoke bluntly in the press conference, stating that other teams run more than Madrid, which might have further rocked the dressing room.

And a decisive El Clasico is just around the corner (next Sunday), as Barcelona have a chance to secure the title against the fiercest rival for only the second time in history. Given the collapse at Santiago Bernabeu, that task will be well within reach for Hansi Flick's men.

As for Los Blancos, major changes are urgently needed once this abysmal campaign is over, as this shameful chaos must come to an end.

It's time for Florentino Perez to step up and take matters into his own hands.
