A former Real Madrid star has dismissed rumors of a crisis at the club this season.
Los Blancos have been far from their ruthless best yet in 2024/25, with injuries playing a key role in their inconsistency.
However, ahead of the penultimate round of La Liga in 2024, Carlo Ancelotti's defending Spanish and European champions are two points off the top of the table.
Their Champions League campaign is also getting back on track, with a busy January event with the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey on the agenda.
Fernando Morientes – who won three Champions League titles in a formidable Real Madrid attack in the late 1990s/early 2000s – claims their experience will ensure a fierce return in 2025.
“I saw 'critical' situations in December that ended in winning La Liga and the Champions League… the critical situations are in April,” Mundo Deportivo said.
“I recently heard Ancelotti say that it is important to fight for everything at this time of year. It's the same in the Champions League.
“Right now we have to evaluate players and see how things turn out, but Madridistas can rest assured.”
Real Madrid could potentially end 2025 as leaders of La Liga if Barcelona's results go in their favor, ahead of a mid-month trip to Qatar for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup against Pachuca or Al Ahly on December 18.
