Real Madrid’s squad gathered for a team-building dinner on Tuesday night as they prepare for the decisive stretch of the season. All 24 players attended the meeting, including injured trio Militão, Rodrygo, and Bellingham. The event was hosted by Vinicius and Mbappé, both members of the exclusive venue, with the Brazilian sharing a group photo on social media to reveal the gathering.

The dinner, held without the coaching staff, came just one week before the crucial Champions League clash against Benfica and amid an intense La Liga title race, where Madrid have strung together seven consecutive victories. The initiative highlights the unity within the dressing room at a pivotal moment of the campaign.

The restaurant, located on José Abascal Street, attracted a large crowd of fans waiting outside to catch a glimpse of the players as they left. Lunin, Rüdiger, Arda Güler, and Mendy were the first to depart shortly after 11 p.m. Valverde and Militão followed around 11:30 p.m., with Fran García leaving at 11:39 p.m. Mastantuono, Brahim, and Gonzalo exited together at 11:57 p.m., just before midnight.

Camavinga left at 1:01 a.m., followed by Alaba at 1:14 a.m. Rodrygo and Huijsen departed at 1:18 a.m., while Vinicius headed home at 1:26 a.m. Mbappé left shortly after at 1:32 a.m., with Courtois (1:38 a.m.), Carvajal (1:43 a.m.), Tchouaméni (1:45 a.m.), and Álvaro Carreras (1:47 a.m.) following in succession.

Bellingham and Trent were among the last to leave, departing around 1:52 a.m., while Ceballos exited at 1:59 a.m. The final player to leave was Asencio at 2:50 a.m., bringing an end to a dinner that stretched into the early hours.

The team is scheduled to return to training this Wednesday at 11 a.m. in Valdebebas.

The gathering took place at the trendy restaurant-club “61”, an exclusive venue that has quickly become a hotspot for prominent national and international figures since opening in early December. Vinicius and Mbappé, who covered the bill, are both members of the establishment.
