The video arrives as Alonso's future is the subject of rumors, with the club choosing a message of unity to address supporters. The players emphasized the bond with the Madristas and the shared dream of more victories ahead.

Unity in Uncertain Times

As Real Madrid navigates a season that hasn’t begun as intended, Pérez and Alonso used the festive moment to reaffirm commitment to the club's identity and to thank the fans for their steadfast support.
