On the possibility of a 12-month season: 🎙️ Carvajal: "It makes no sense at all. I repeat what I’ve said before: It is impossible for us to maintain an optimal level and maximum performance while having to travel for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. "When the season ends, you’re taken away from home for a month, crossing continents with FIFA dates in between. It’s impossible to be at full capacity with 72 games. "I think the appropriate bodies should analyse this because it’s practically impossible. The quality of the game drops, and we suffer, along with our families." 🎙️ Valverde: "I agree with Dani. I should also mention that those of us from South America, for every national team game, have 12-hour journeys and then play the next day. Obviously, it’s very complicated. For example, this year, we’ve already trained much less. We already have much less energy for the year, and it’s going to be tough. We’ll try to do the best we can every day. "We are professionals; we are adults. We try to take care of our bodies with proper food and rest, but there are times when it’s too much for our bodies, and it becomes very difficult." 🎙️ Ancelotti: "I think that what the players think is the most important because they are the ones who will play the games, run for 90 minutes, and have to travel. "I think what Fede and Dani have said is quite clear." The relentless schedule not only wears down players physically, but also takes them away from crucial rest and family time, impacting their well-being both on and off the pitch. Players are #AtTheLimit. [📸 @RealMadrid]
