Several leading members of the first-team ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid could not help but show their exhaustion, on the back of the club’s latest outing.

Real Madrid were of course back in action a short time ago, making the trip to La Ceràmica for a league meeting with Villarreal.

After falling a goal behind early on, Los Blancos battled back in impressive fashion, thanking a brace on the part of Kylian Mbappé for an eventual 2-1 triumph.

And as much, as alluded to above, required every ounce of physical strength which Carlo Ancelotti’s players could muster up.

Following the full-time whistle on Saturday evening, all of Fran García, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni immediately dropped to the turf in exhaustion.

As much comes with Real Madrid having had less than 72 hours to recover for this evening’s action, following their draining 120-minute midweek derby showdown with Atlético.
