Real Madrid is bracing for a demanding start to 2025, with up to nine matches in January across four competitions, including La Liga, Copa del Rey, Supercopa de España, and the Champions League.
After the Christmas break, coach Carlos Ancelotti has implemented a tailored training program to ensure the players return in top condition. The calendar begins on January 3 with a postponed La Liga match against Valencia. Following this, Madrid will face Deportivo Minera in the Copa del Rey and then head to Saudi Arabia for the Supercopa semifinal against Mallorca. A potential final in Jeddah awaits if they advance.
Returning to domestic competitions, Madrid will play Las Palmas before potentially continuing in the Copa del Rey. The team will also face Red Bull Salzburg and Brest in crucial Champions League fixtures, vital for progressing to the next stage after mixed results so far.
Ancelotti emphasized the importance of rest and effective rotation to manage this grueling schedule, stating, "Our players need energy and focus to deliver consistently in every game."
