Real Madrid is facing challenges in La Liga, struggling to keep up with rivals FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. The team’s performance issues were highlighted during the Madrid derby, where an altercation between Pepe and Benzema occurred. Following this, captains Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos reportedly addressed the team, emphasizing unity, hard work, and discipline. Ramos, in particular, emphasized that Cristiano Ronaldo is the only true star in the team, and others must focus on working hard and staying united. Pepe, feeling targeted by Ramos’ comments, apologized to Karim Benzema during a team meeting. The impact of this discussion will be seen in their upcoming Champions League match against FC Copenhagen.
