Crisis at Real Madrid: Dressing room brawl and player sanctions

Kathmandu:Football giants Real Madrid are facing a severe internal crisis following reports of a violent dressing room rift. Despite their historic 15 Champions League titles, the club is currently struggling through a trophy-less slump.

Tensions boiled over during Wednesday's practice session in a physical altercation between Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni. Valverde sustained a head injury during the clash and was briefly hospitalized. In response, Club President Florentino Pérez held an emergency meeting, resulting in a 500,000-euro fine for both players and a mandatory apology.

The incident has highlighted a lack of discipline and authority under coach Álvaro Arbeloa, with reports suggesting star players are no longer following instructions. Real Madrid faces arch-rivals Barcelona tonight, desperately needing a win to salvage their season.
