🗞️ Saturday's back pages: Barça smile at Madrid's news | OneFootball

Real Madrid wakes up this Saturday surrounded by fines and question marks. Valverde and Tchouaméni have made peace before the investigator in the disciplinary proceedings, but the club has fined each of them half a million euros for a fight that has shaken the foundations of the Madrid dressing room.

"Firm hand", headlines AS; "Half a million... and move on", declares Marca. The punishment is historic, the outlets themselves admit, but it carries no sporting consequences: both will be available for Sunday’s Clásico at Camp Nou.

And that’s another thing... will Barça finish them off tomorrow, dealing the final blow to an eternal rival at its lowest ebb?

Mundo Deportivo goes further and speaks of "Real chaos," with more details continuing to emerge of a dressing room completely divided. The question hanging in the air is inevitable: is money enough to close such a deep wound?

Sport leads with an archive image of Florentino Pérez alongside José Mourinho holding a Madrid shirt. According to the Catalan newspaper, the president has opened contacts with the Portuguese coach to regain control of a broken dressing room.

While Madrid burns, Barça rub their hands. Flick’s players are aware, according to Mundo Deportivo, that they are facing a historic opportunity, and Fermín sums it up bluntly on the front page: "We want the league now."
