Real Madrid lost the Clásico, LaLiga, and left a very poor impression at the Spotify Camp Nou. It confirmed a disastrous season for the whites, a day to forget in a black week and a campaign that has shaken the project devised by the club’s hierarchy…
Yet the worst is still to come.
The white team faces a true public trial this Thursday. With the Santiago Bernabéu as the stage and the match against Real Oviedo as the backdrop, a hellish atmosphere awaits the Real Madrid squad members in their own home starting at 21:30h.

The breeding ground that has built up throughout the entire season, combined with the tension sparked by recent events, will finally explode on a day marked in red by the Madrid fanbase. The supporters will have a major opportunity to express their discontent, and all signs point to this being one of the biggest jeering sessions ever remembered at the white fortress.
**No One Is Safe**
There will be clear targets that day, but absolutely no one will be safe. From Florentino Pérez to the players, including Arbeloa, the anger among the fans extends to everyone associated with the club.

Despite everything, if there is one footballer who has provoked the rage of Madrid fans in recent weeks, it is Kylian Mbappé. His public vacation while the team went through a crisis of results, his arrival just 10 minutes before Madrid played against Espanyol, his untimely laughter during the collapse caused by the fight between Tchouameni and Fede Valverde, and his post encouraging the team after Barça scored the 2-0 in the Clásico have all eroded his image in the eyes of the fans.
The No. 10 of the Madrid team has been marked. His presence against Oviedo remains uncertain. He was not in the Clásico due to last-minute discomfort, and Arbeloa did not even know what to answer in the press conference when asked about the French international. Whether he is on the pitch or in the stands, he will not escape the hostility.

But Mbappé will not be the only one. Practically the entire squad will be publicly called out. This includes stars like Vinicius or Bellingham, but also players whose performance has left much to be desired, such as Camavinga, and others who have been involved in episodes unbecoming of a club of Real Madrid’s level, like Tchouameni and Fede Valverde.
**Florentino Makes a Move**
While the storm threatens to significantly worsen Madrid’s crisis and open an even larger rift between the squad and the fans, Florentino is preparing for a summer where significant moves will be demanded.

The president of the white club has never been in favor of a revolution. His confidence in the squad and the stars remains intact, and his main concern right now is to get the next coach right, who will replace Arbeloa this very summer.
According to reports from Cadena SER, this Monday Florentino will inform the board members about the situation regarding the bench and the options being considered. José Mourinho is currently the firm favorite to take over, and it would be a surprise if the chosen one were not the Portuguese.
