A photo of the first-team squad at La Liga giants Real Madrid has gone viral online this week.
This comes after Vinícius Jr. organised a team bonding dinner for the rest of Álvaro Arbeloa’s ranks.
The likes of Kylian Mbappé, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Rodrygo were all in attendance at the get-together, which took place at a restaurant in Spain’s capital:
💣 Cena de equipo organizada Vinicius Junior. Es en el restaurante 61., en la calle José Abascal. El brasileño es uno de los dueños del local.
No es la primera: antes del partido contra el Mónaco ya hubo una. https://t.co/bEOMuuvWlG

Vinícius’ gesture of course comes amid nothing short of a crucial stretch of the season for Real Madrid at present.
After putting Valencia to the sword by two goals to nil this past weekend, Los Merengues remain just a solitary point behind arch rivals Barcelona atop the La Liga table.
Next up, this weekend, comes another league outing, on this occasion against Real Sociedad, before Arbeloa and co. make the trip to Lisbon early next week to kick their Champions League playoff showdown with Benfica into gear at the Estádio da Luz.
