No phone, no camera: this is how Madrid players took this photo in the United States

An image of Merengue footballers is making headlines

Real Madrid arrived in the United States with the intention of winning the Club World Cup. This new FIFA tournament is very exciting for the Merengue locker room, and they'll fight to lift the trophy. Many eyes are on them and on what they can do.

For now, we've already seen a striking image taken by Real Madrid's players. It's being widely discussed among fans because of what that snapshot means. At first glance, it seems normal until the most observant noticed a detail.

It's a picture in an elevator, a selfie that might seem normal, although it isn't. In it, Modric, Mbappé, Brahim, Trent, Bellingham, and Camavinga appear in front of the mirror. They're just arriving, as you can see them with suitcases and backpacks, before reaching their room.

However, what doesn't appear are phones or photo cameras or anything like that to take the snapshot. It's Camavinga himself who's taking the picture with his glasses. It's a brand that has incorporated this technology, which the French player is enjoying.

Real Madrid has to finish the season on a high note

Despite the stage of the season we're in, Madridists still can't relax. The holidays will have to wait a little longer because of the Club World Cup. It's the end of a campaign they started by lifting the UEFA Super Cup in August.

A lot of time has passed, and Real Madrid arrives at the World Cup with a new coach on its bench. It'll be Xabi Alonso's official debut, who's filled Madridists' hearts with excitement. Although he hasn't had much time to work on his style with the squad.

Even so, they expect to be competitive and to be one of the main contenders to lift the title. With that intention, they arrived in the United States this past Saturday. For now, they're doing so in a relaxed atmosphere, as seen in the aforementioned photo.
