Summary
Real Madrid faces a leadership crisis as Dani Carvajal departs, marking the end of an era with no remaining players from their Champions League triumphs. Federico Valverde, currently vice-captain, is favored to take the armband, but controversy and internal strife cloud his prospects. The club considers a shift from seniority-based appointments, potentially introducing a hybrid model with player votes. The decision will be under scrutiny, especially with José Mourinhos potential arrival, as Real Madrid seeks to rebuild its leadership for the upcoming season.
