Real Madrid is used to being at the top. Whether it’s the first team, fighting for the title in La Liga and the Champions League every year, as well as the youth teams. So obviously, when Real Madrid Castilla is in penultimate place in its group in the Spanish third division, and Real Madrid C (Castilla’s B team) is, in a way, last in its group in the fourth division, well that’s a task.

But when it comes to B teams, it’s much rarer, especially in Madrid, where we generally limit ourselves to 2 or 3 players from elsewhere, as was the case with Fede Valverde at the time for example. , and we are mainly counting on local young people who have passed through the U19s before.

The club, which for example did not bring in any players for Castilla or Real Madrid C last summer, is therefore already looking for reinforcements and is studying numerous options on the market already. And everything indicates that these will, a priori, be more experienced and potentially older players than those who are in the squad.
