The Spanish newspaper "Marca" highlighted the recurring debate among Real Madrid fans regarding the club's handling of the departure of its legends. This comes in the wake of discussions about Dani Carvajal's absence and the resulting internal debates among the fans.

The newspaper quoted a comment from a team fan within a WhatsApp group, saying: "It never fails... Real Madrid and bidding farewell to its legends," referring to the recurring feeling among fans about the difficulty of seeing the club's stars leave. Another fan added sharply: "It's hard to manage it worse than this."

"Marca" poses a central question: Why does Real Madrid face a clear difficulty in bidding farewell to its players who have made its history and dedicated years of effort and sacrifices on the field?

The newspaper points out that fans are emotionally connected to those moments created by the club's legends, while Real Madrid continues to operate according to a philosophy that prioritizes the future over the past. Even if this policy seems cold or harsh to some, it has historically proven effective.

The newspaper cites several prominent examples, such as the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas, and Raul Gonzalez, where similar scenarios repeated despite differing circumstances, with ongoing debate about the unfinished nature of each ending.

"Marca" believes that the club does not want to become a "museum of memories," but the line between professional strictness and insensitivity sometimes seems very thin, which places Real Madrid under criticism.

On the other hand, officials within the city of Valdebebas affirm that "the Madrid fan would rather cry over a legend on Monday than watch the Champions League final on TV in May," highlighting the priority of results and competitive continuity.

The newspaper describes the farewell scene inside the royal club as "without flowers," based on a philosophy that survival is for the strongest and that no one has a permanent place regardless of their history. Contracts are renewed annually according to a vision that gives the player relative freedom in determining their future.

"Marca" concludes that this policy may be the main reason behind the difficulty of bidding farewell to legends in the manner expected by the public, as it requires more room for emotion in a club that prioritizes the future above all else. This often makes the human aspect a subject of endless debate between the club and its fans.
