The tension at Real Madrid is reaching a boiling point, and it's playing out right at their training ground, Valdebebas. Just four days before the highly anticipated El Clasico against Barcelona, a second internal incident has been reported, following last month's clash where Antonio Rudiger allegedly slapped teammate Alvaro Carreras. While Rudiger later apologized and even organized a team lunch to smooth things over, the latest altercation involves two other key midfielders.

According to reports from Marca, France international Aurelien Tchouameni and Uruguayan star Fede Valverde nearly came to blows during a training session on Wednesday. The spark? A particularly aggressive foul that set off a heated exchange. Witnesses say the two players went face-to-face, shoving each other before teammates stepped in to separate them. The argument didn't end on the pitch—it reportedly continued into the dressing room, highlighting the frayed nerves within the squad.

This isn't an isolated issue. Earlier in the week, Kylian Mbappe was said to have exchanged strong words with one of Alvaro Arbeloa's coaching staff during a drill. While Mbappe's representatives dismissed it as an "over-interpretation of elements," they didn't deny the incident occurred. With Rudiger, Tchouameni, Valverde, and Mbappe all being regular starters and dressing room leaders, these repeated flare-ups are raising serious concerns about team morale and unity.

Real Madrid now face a crucial test on Sunday night at Camp Nou, where a win could spoil Barcelona's title celebration. But with low team spirit and these internal fractures, that task looks increasingly daunting. For a club built on legendary camaraderie and composure, these off-pitch dramas are far from the example you'd expect from their stars—and a worrying sign ahead of one of the biggest matches of the season.
