Real Madrid Confidencial The 3 absentees at Real Madrid's unity dinner, Mbappé did something unheard of
Real Madrid's footballers held a dinner attended by almost all of them
It seems that the atmosphere within the squad after Xabi Alonso's arrival is very good. Last night was, without a doubt, further proof of that. Real Madrid's players met at a well-known restaurant in the capital for dinner and to make a pact before all the chaos of the 25/26 season begins.
"Tonight there was a Real Madrid pact dinner. Mbappé had an event in Monaco, but he went straight to the dinner. Those who weren't there were Rodrygo, Tchouaméni, and Rüdiger", said Edu Aguirre during the latest episode of "El Chiringuito."
The absence of these three players is due to personal reasons that, as is evident, have not yet been revealed. Dani Ceballos was present, as he still belongs to the club after rejecting Olympique de Marseille's offer.
Focused on everything that is yet to come
The good thing is that most players were present at the meeting, which was very positive for everyone. Now, the most important thing is to properly prepare for Saturday's match against RCD Mallorca at Santiago Bernabéu. Xabi's team has started La Liga with a positive dynamic and hopes to keep extending that streak.
Another topic they would also discuss is the Champions League draw taking place this Thursday. Possible opponents, favorite teams for this first round, objectives for the season...
What is clear is that it is very important to win this Saturday's match in order to go into the international break with all victories. So far, Real Madrid haven't conceded any goals and the feeling would be even better if Courtois keeps a clean sheet once again. It's clear that this season there is greater defensive solidity and more control over the matches.
Now what remains is to get more out of the attacking footballers to score more goals, as was seen in the last match against Real Oviedo. Players like Vinícius, Rodrygo, or Mastantuono keep working to reach their highest level.
Patience is needed; the best is yet to come at Real Madrid. If the players keep working at this pace, Xabi Alonso's first season will be marked by great collective successes.
