Madrid are at a crunch point of their season as they face failing to win either the Champions League or La Liga this term, finding themselves up against it in both competitions. In La Liga, Bellingham and Co are four points behind Barcelona - having both played 31 games - in the race to win the league title, following their 2-1 defeat by Valencia last week. They scraped past Alaves on Sunday, having played more than half of the game with 10 men following Kylian Mbappe's red card early on for a high challenge. In the Champions League, meanwhile, Los Blancos are 3-0 down going into the second leg of their quarter-final clash with Arsenal, with a record-breaking comeback needed to progress to the last-four. And tensions, according to El Chiringuito, boiled over in training on Friday, with Bellingham and Rudiger having to be separated by team-mates.
