The end of the season featured emotional goodbyes to veterans Dani Carvajal and David Alaba, marking the end of a golden era for many Madridistas. Meanwhile, Alvaro Arbeloa’s exit as manager has cleared the path for a new era under Mourinho, who will be tasked with returning the club to the pinnacle of European football.
New arrivals like Trent Alexander-Arnold are already looking ahead to the future after a difficult debut season. Despite being excluded from Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup squad, the right-back remains optimistic, stating this weekend: “I will take a good rest and work during the summer. I promise that we will bring trophies back to this incredible club next season!”
