Many consider the Spanish club Real Madrid the best in the world, a reputation well-earned through their unparalleled success, particularly in the UEFA Champions League where they hold the record for the most titles. As home to global footballing icons like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham, the expectation is always for the team to play captivating football and contend for every trophy. While the 2024/25 season saw flashes of brilliance, by Real Madrid`s exceptionally high standards, it was seen as somewhat underwhelming.
Real Madrid is set to embark on a new era under the guidance of former player Xabi Alonso in the upcoming 2025/26 season. The club has shown strong support for the new manager in the transfer market. Proactive moves were made ahead of the Club World Cup, securing Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool to finally address the long-standing right-back position and bringing in Dean Huijsen, who impressed during his loan spell at Bournemouth, to reinforce the central defense. With the transfer window still open, further aggressive action in the market is anticipated from Los Blancos.
The immediate goal is to lift the Club World Cup trophy and proudly display the badge as world champions for the next four years. Later in the season, reclaiming the La Liga title from arch-rivals Barcelona will be a primary objective. The Champions League is a competition deeply embedded in the club`s identity, often viewed as its birthright. Expect fierce competition from Real Madrid in the remaining cup competitions and throughout the new season.
