The beginning is tonight and the end…who knows? Jokes aside, as a European Champion, Real Madrid open the season with a UEFA Super Cup clash against Atalanta. From that point, Los Blancos’ squad is in for 11 months of football and a possible scenario of as many as 72 games in the season, including La Liga, Copa del Rey, the aforementioned UEFA Super Cup, and the first edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, which should bring down the curtain on the longest-ever season.🗣️ Dani Carvajal: “Having a season so long and playing so many games makes no sense. It’s too much and the players and FIFA have to find a solution. It’s impossible.” pic.twitter.com/NOszFK1D9a— realmadrid_infos (@MadridInfos14) August 13, 2024 Hence, no wonder Real’s Dani Carvajal couldn’t neglect the tough schedule, frankly stating his opinion, while Fede Valverde completely agreed with his teammate.”It doesn’t make any sense, you can’t play 72 games. It’s impossible to maintain the level with so many games and trips. I think the relevant bodies should analyse this because it’s practically impossible. The levels drop, the games drop in level and it’s us and our families who suffer,” said Carvajal at a pre-game press conference as Marca reports.The King vs The Goddess: Whose power rules Europe?Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti had to agree with his boys, pointing out the importance of bench players.”What the players think is the most important thing. What Fede and Dani have said is quite clear because they are the ones who suffer the games. We have a lot of games and we can win games with players who start the game on the bench,” stated the tactician.UEFA SUPER CUPWednesday22.00: (1.57) Real Madrid (4.30) Atalanta (6.50)***odds are subject to change***
