Real Madrid’s recent run of form continues to draw praise across Spanish radio, with Onda Cero’s Radio Estadio Noche program highlighting both the team’s competitiveness and the emergence of new leaders in the absence of key players.
Ortego pointed to the overall structure and mentality of the team under Álvaro Arbeloa.
“This Arbeloa Madrid is a very competitive team.”
He also highlighted the players who have stepped up in the absence of Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
“Vinicius and Valverde have
taken on the leadership of Madrid in the absence of Mbappe and Bellingham.”
The discussion also turned to the defensive side, where Antonio Rudiger’s influence has been decisive.
Abelardo emphasized the German’s importance not only individually, but in how he elevates those around him.
“Rudiger is extremely important for Madrid; Huijsen has raised his level since Rudiger has been next to him.”
