In Madrid, the home of Real Madrid, it is time for deep reflection, as this is the second consecutive season that has ended without a trophy. Real Madrid exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals after defeat to Bayern Munich, while in La Liga only mathematics keeps them in the game, +9 points behind Barcelona is a very large gap.

In such conditions, president Perez has no choice but to redo the calculations once again in the new season. According to Spanish media, Perez has taken responsibility for this disappointment, a move to protect the team. In the eyes of the Real Madrid president, two big mistakes have been made during this season, at two very key moments. The first, the choice of Xabi Alonso and, moreover, the choice of Alvaro Arbeloa to lead the first team. Faced with such a reflection, it is clear that the first move in the new season will be to find a new coach.

Another issue that requires a quick solution is the future of Vinicius jr, but for the Brazilian, Perez has decided to take it personally: "This is my issue, let me solve it myself," Perez is understood to have told the rest of the staff. The Real Madrid boss's idea is not only to renew Vinicius' contract, but also to place him at the centre of the project.

Alongside Vinicius jr will be Kylian Mbappe, another key figure in Real's project for the future. Although the fans do not seem very satisfied with what the Frenchman has given, the numbers are on his side, the number of goals scored this season. From the coach and the new staff, Perez will ask them to work more with the academy players and with the talents they have available, but which have not been properly used, players like Dean Huijsen and Franco Mastantuono.
