Real Madrid's head coach Alvaro Arbeloa called an impromptu team meeting on Sunday to emphasize the need for commitment and professionalism as the team approaches the end of the 2025-26 season. The meeting followed a disappointing quarter-final exit from the UEFA Champions League, where Real Madrid lost to Bayern Munich with an aggregate score of 6-4. Despite a spirited comeback in the second leg, the team could not secure a win, leading to concerns about their performance this season. With seven games left in La Liga, Madrid trails behind leaders Barcelona by nine points, raising doubts about their ability to secure a major trophy this year. Club captain Dani Carvajal echoed Arbeloa's call for unity, which was particularly poignant given his limited appearances this season due to injuries. Amidst these challenges, speculation grows regarding Arbeloa's future, with reports suggesting that the club might consider reappointing former coach Jose Mourinho, currently at Benfica, who has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for Madrid.
