Last season was a mess. We just need more rest. It’s not so much about the matches as about recovery. I saw teams return to training when we were still at the Club World Cup.
Last season the Frenchman played 59 matches for Real across all competitions, scoring 44 goals and providing five assists.
Real won the 2024 UEFA Super Cup and the 2024 Intercontinental Cup, finished second in La Liga, and reached the semi-finals of the 2025 Club World Cup, where they lost 0-4 to PSG.
