The team logo (shield) shown is out of date. The current version since the late 1900s) doesn’t show a cross on top of the crown. You only need to Google to find out the current version of the team logo/shoeld. The cross was eliminated on purpose to cut the connection to religion. 140.141.230.85 (talk) 04:21, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The logo on their website still contains a cross. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 04:38, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Captains 2024–25

As of today, it's not official that Dani Carvajal it will be the first captain of the team. Please remove it until Real Madrid make it official. Panenkazo (talk) 12:07, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The player who is the longest at the club is captain, which is him. Kante4 (talk) 12:18, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This does not guarantee being the first captain. It is usually done through an internal wardrobe vote. Can you provide any reference that establishes that Real Madrid follows the criteria you have argued every year? Can you guarantee that Carvajal will remain a Real Madrid player next season? Until there is an official statement announcing all the captains one should not speculate. Panenkazo (talk) 13:34, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dani will probably be the captain next season but until there is an official reference we cannot be sure. Could you provide a reference? Panenkazo (talk) 13:37, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Realtotal talking about it, goal.com also. We can remove it as long as it's not "official" (not sure if RM announces it). Kante4 (talk) 13:43, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that when we talk about official or representative positions we should always use direct references. With player signings for example, sports newspaper references are not valid until there is an official announcement from the club. I am in favor of removing it until there is an official statement. If there was an article from Real Madrid establishing this criterion of agreement. But we cannot guarantee 100% that this year will follow this one. Panenkazo (talk) 13:50, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has been done that way for the last 10+ years and even more i think at RM but we never know. Kante4 (talk) 13:51, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is listed as a Good article. We should put certainties and not probabilities. Panenkazo (talk) 13:52, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mpappé, probably modric last year… we never know.. Panenkazo (talk) 13:53, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
