Real Madrid players make a bold decision ahead of Benfica showdown!

Real Madrid is working to pick up the pieces during a challenging stretch of their season. As revealed by AS, the entire Merengue squad took the initiative to gather for a team dinner in Madrid, with the clear goal of strengthening group unity after a period riddled with doubts and inconsistent results under Álvaro Arbeloa.

Still according to the Spanish daily, the players met at the trendy "61" restaurant, located on José Abascal street. One striking detail stood out: no member of the coaching staff was present, confirming that this initiative was exclusively led by the team's senior players and locker room leaders.

This show of unity comes on the eve of an important La Liga fixture against Real Sociedad, just before a fiery European double-header against José Mourinho's Benfica—set for February 17 in Lisbon and February 25 in Madrid. It’s a sequence where Real can no longer afford any missteps.
