Khaberni - On an exceptional night away from the bustle of the stadiums, the stars of the first team of Real Madrid gathered for what’s known as "The Bonding Dinner," aiming to strengthen brotherly ties and clear the air before entering into the critical match phase.
The reports from the Spanish capital, as per Marca newspaper today, Wednesday, indicate that the duo Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe took the initiative, inviting their Real Madrid teammates to one of the most luxurious restaurants in Madrid and covering all the expenses for the evening.
Estimations suggest that the bill for the bonding dinner reached "astronomical" figures considering the level of the restaurant, classified among the highest luxury categories in Spain, and the sumptuous dishes specifically designed for this squad of athletes. The cost per person for such occasions and special services ranges from 500 to 900 euros, making the total value of the dinner exceed the 20,000 euros mark.
The dinner was not just a mere meal, but transformed into an extended session of candid discussions that lasted until the early hours of the morning. Press cameras recorded the players leaving the restaurant sequentially, with the young defender Raul Asensio being the last to leave, spotted exiting the venue after two in the morning, which demonstrates the depth of the conversations that took place among the players that night.
Analysts believe that Vinicius and Mbappe bearing the cost of this extravagant dinner sends a strong message to the fans and management about the duo's desire to lead the team towards unity, and to turn the page on any conflicts that might affect the trajectory of "Los Merengues" towards the podium.
